Life is full of temptations, and singer-songwriter Liam Gerner has had his share. Leaving his rural family life in the Adelaide Hills, Liam headed for London to seek his fortune. Sure, he has toured with Paul Weller, Jason Isbell, Alanis Morissette, Paolo Nutini, Elton John and Drive-By Truckers among others. And sure, he was recognised as a “hot new talent” and experienced all that comes with that, including a record deal, but he decided to take a step back as he didn’t want to risk losing his identity. Doing things his way, he teamed with some of L.A.’s finest and on his return to Australia in early 2013 had with him the album Land of No Roads. Ararat Live – March 25.
