Jax Tonic

Last updated: 5 hours ago

Growing up surrounded by the surf culture of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Jax Tonic may not be your typical country singer-songwriter, and that’s what sets him apart. Drawn to country by the truth in the lyrics and “raw nature” of the guitars, Jax played regularly in cover bands in the early 2000s where country featured heavily in his shows as The Juke Boy.
Jax has embraced Australian country music, loving the sound of the music, the culture around the genre and the fanbase.
With rocky influences, his style of country is sure to draw new audiences to the genre.
Music called to Jax at just 16 when he attended a U2 concert with BB King playing the blues, which fed his passion for old school rock ‘n’ roll which reached all the way from Elvis, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly to Johnny Cash and then to Kenny Rogers.
After a break from the music scene while he focused on raising his young family, the passion for music has called him back. Now Jax records his latest releases with some of the best musicians from Nashville and Australia.
Jax now wants to spread the word about his music to many more listeners and engage with them through his stories and songs.
“Life’s short and you’ve got to chase your dreams.”
