Andrew Farriss—

Andrew Farriss, one of Australia’s most respected songwriters and the co-founder of INXS, has released his new single, Mending Fences, written with acclaimed Americana artist and songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. His creative life today is shaped by strong storytelling, lived experience, and the rhythm of his farm in New South Wales where he writes between tours and seasons.

Andrew says Mending Fences was written when he was in Nashville. “It touches on the hard life of farmers, their day-to-day routines, and some of the emotional issues they may face. It’s really a tribute to how much energy—physically and emotionally—the world’s farmers put into their craft in order to provide food and products for the entire world,” he says.

In 2024 Andrew made his Grand Ole Opry debut, with Keith Urban appearing as a special guest during his performance. The appearance marked a defining moment in his solo chapter.

His debut solo album in 2021 delivered singles including Come Midnight and Good Momma Bad. Andrew plans to release his next album, The Prospector, later this year, followed soon after by new music through a companion project Thunderbolt.
