Stargazer Album Reviews
"Next big thing for sure." Hugo T Armstrong - PBS (106.7fm)

BIO
Melbourne based singer/songwriter and guitarist, Jarrah Thompson seamlessly fuses rock, blues, roots, folk and latin into his own distinctive blend. It’s not everyday you hear a guitar / flute / didgeridoo battle but for Jarrah Thompson, experimenting with new sounds, is what it’s all about. Likened to artists such as Jeff Buckley and Led Zeppelin, it is no wonder Jarrah Thompson has been labeled ‘the next big thing’.
After extensive touring throughout Melbourne, NSW and WA and widespread support from community radio and ABC, Thompson’s music has been turning more than a few heads. In 2008, Jarrah unveiled his explosive nine-piece blues/rock band, earning him a spot at the Point Nepean Music Experience. This awe-inspiring performance, which started with twenty people at his stage, ended with around two thousand punters who had come to hear a flute vs. guitar battle with the intensity and musicality of a Mozart piece! Drawing inspiration from early Santana, Joe Walsh, Jimi Hendrix and Jethro Tull, Thompson’s live performances exude a raw energy reminiscent of the great rock festivals of late 60’s... and the result? The acclaimed debut album, Stargazer, a versatile showcase of well crafted songs from high energy, fuzzed out guitar rock, to finger picking soul with a live orchestra.
Jarrah Thompson struck his first chord at six years of age, he then went on to study Music Performance at the Las Vegas Academy of The Arts (USA). Returning to Melbourne in 2001 saw the birth of rock band ‘147k’ with the guidance of Australian Hall of Fame Inductee, Lobby Loyde. “Those years were where I learned about life and the music business from a great guitar legend”, says Thompson. In 2006 Jarrah recorded his debut EP, ‘The Crown Jewels’ which went on high rotation with RRR and PBS.
Described as ‘experimental flute / rock blues’, Jarrah Thompson’s music has the power to transcend the listener to a different time, a different place and the best part of it all is....
He’s only just getting started.
