Campbell’s sound is a blend of acoustic and electric folk styles – from Appalachia and London to the streets of Sydney – combined with blues, country, and Americana. As heard across the new album Barely Fed, his influences are wide-ranging, from iconic artists such as Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, and John Prine to contemporary songwriters such as Paul Kelly, Kevin Bennett, Bernard Fanning, Neil Finn, and Laura Marling.
A prolific live artist and winner at the 2024 Fretfest Song Contest he heads towards the March 2026 release of the album Barely Fed, recorded with his band The Lazy Dog. The Lazy Dog is comprised of Jed Wesley-Smith (Pat Powell, Bek Jensen, The Felas) on bass, Tim Bradley (Mambo Brown Trio, On The Stoop, Amber Kenny) on drums/percussion, and since the album was recorded, they've been joined by Ross Waraker on keys.
The first taste of Pete's debut album was the single 'The Parts I've Seen' which premiered on Sunburnt Country Musicand Stuart Coupe's Dirt Music on 2SER. The song entered the Amrap National Community Radio Airplay Chart at #20, and the Country/Blues/Roots Chart at #10. It's since seen airplay on 702 ABC Sydney, ABC Country and the wider Australian Community Radio Network.
The latest single ‘Once Upon a Time' is a raw & earthy track featuring Hammond organ from Lachy Doley. The Album sees other luminairies guesting including Lara Goodridge, Kim Girdlestone, Peter Hollo and Ollie Thorpe.
Campbell and band will play the upcoming Winter Blues Festival Echuca 23-26 July
