Rod Coote

A sea change from the Australian countryside to coastline proved to be a formative journey for Rod Coote. A tranquil upbringing in his quiet hometown of Manilla nestled between the lakes, mountains & rivers of New South Wales nurtured his trail to creativity and songwriting.

Now based in Melbourne/Naarm, the prolific indie folk singer-songwriter’s music paints wide landscapes weaving acoustic sounds with his introspective songwriting &amp; sincere storytelling, creating a colorful tapestry.
