‘I’m so honoured to be on this final episode of the very first series of The Sound. To have a show like this on TV that showcases Australian music is so important to our industry and the artists.’ – Guy Sebastian
‘The Sound is carving out something entirely new, and completely breathtaking’ – Junkee
It’s a wrap on Series One of The Sound!
Having shone a light on some of our country’s finest musicians and songwriters for six weeks now – from iconic chart-toppers (Nick Cave, Paul Kelly, Kylie Minogue, Midnight Oil) to triple j stars (Illy, DMA’S, Angie McMahon, Amy Shark) and arresting newcomers (BENEE, Miiesha, Dallas Woods) – each week The Sound has delivered incredible performances, proudly captured and delivered by Mushroom Vision and the ABC.
Australian music needs to be heard. For Episode Six this Sunday – our final instalment of this first series – we’ve got yet another line-up you don’t want to miss.
Joining regulars Jane Gazzo and Zan Rowe this week are three very special guest co-hosts: 4x Grammy winner Keith Urban, who releases his 10th studio album, THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1, on 18 September. He’s joined by acting legend Jack Thompson, while we also have a special appearance by the music man himself – Molly Meldrum.

“I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for Billy Thorpe,” Jimmy Barnes once told The Guardian. This week’s ‘Tribute’ segment is a celebration of the mighty Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, with a collaboration starring: Jimmy Barnes, Chris Cheney (The Living End), Mahalia Barnes, Ben Rodgers, Lachy Doley and Jackie Barnes.
Finally, with more hit singles in the ’80s than Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl or Men At Work, Mondo Rock did things their own way. Their first ever official live album, Summer of ‘81, is released 28 August – watch them on stage in Melbourne, 1984, live ‘From The Vault’.
Don’t miss Episode Six of The Sound, Sunday 23 August, 5.30pm on ABC.
