What’s happening?
Toowoomba-based country artist Brendon Walmsley released his deeply moving single Broken on 11 April 2025. The track is the fourth release from his upcoming album and has already been featured on Apple Music’s New In Country and Aussie Country playlists.

Zoom In
Co-written with acclaimed artists David and Merelyn Carter, Broken speaks to the emotional numbness after life-changing events. Lyrics like “You make all things new” offer a message of redemption and peace through faith. Brendon lays bare his vulnerabilities, addressing themes of self-doubt, perseverance, and the strength to keep going in dark times.
Zoom Out
Brendon first rose to fame in the early 2000s, touring with major Australian country stars including Troy Cassar-Daley and Beccy Cole. After stepping back to focus on his family and community, he’s now recording again with producer Rod McCormack. His new material reflects both his artistic evolution and spiritual growth.
What to Look for Next
Brendon’s full-length album is scheduled for release later this year. Fans can expect more soul-stirring tracks blending heartfelt storytelling with themes of love, loss, and renewal.
