Brendan Maclean joined the Local Roots team via phone to chat about music and the fact that JOY 94.9 ws the first radio station to ever play his music. Discussion then turned to the importance of community radio to coincide with JOY 94.9’s Radiothon.

Brendan Maclean is a queer Australiansongwriter.  With a blend of bops, rock anthems and pop ballads he has become easily one of the most beloved songwriters of his generation. House of Air and Never Enough along with older tracks like Beat Me To It and Stupid present a truly iconic songwriter at his best.

As The Age put it, “he’s an absolute complete package.”
