What this episode covers

In this raw and unfiltered episode, we sit down with DINGO (Brandon Dodd) — longtime lead guitarist for Kasey Chambers, former Grizzlee Train frontman, studio owner, and now a compelling solo artist in his own right.From busking at Byron Bay Bluesfest as a teenager to touring the world with one of Australia’s biggest country stars, DINGO opens up about the dream, the grind, and the real cost of life on the road. We dive deep into his evolution as a songwriter, the freedom (and loneliness) of the highway, running The Rabbit Hole Recording Studio on the NSW Central Coast, and what it took to step out from behind a legend and release his own music.This is authentic Australian roots music talk — no filter, no fluff. Perfect for anyone who loves real stories, killer guitar tones, and musicians who actually live the songs they write.What You’ll HearHow a 19-year-old pub guitarist got handpicked for Kasey Chambers’ band and what he learned on the roadThe transition from Grizzlee Train to solo artist under the name DINGOInside stories from The Rabbit Hole Studio — producing for others while chasing his own soundThe inspiration behind his new album Nightwire (out early-mid 2026) and recent singles like “Nightwire” and “Autumn”The realities of touring life, creative freedom, industry truths, and staying authentic in Australian musicGuitar talk, songwriting craft, and why storytelling still cuts throughOfficial Website & Pre-order Nightwire: dingomusicofficial.comInstagram: @dingomusicofficialSpotify: Search “DINGO MUSIC”YouTube: DINGO channel https://www.youtube.com/@DINGO1779Support the Show & DINGOIf you enjoyed this episode, please:Subscribe and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts / SpotifyShare this episode with someone who loves real Aussie musicPre-save / pre-order Nightwire and follow DINGO on socialsTag us both on Instagram stories when you’re listening — we repost the best ones!Support the show & grow with us:Like, comment, share with a fellow music nerd — it really helps independent pods like ours get discovered.Follow on YouTube / Spotify / Apple Podcasts @ Unfiltered and UndiscoveredUnfiltered & Undiscovered — Real talk.
