The Mixtape Podcast - Creating Mix Tapes and Playlists with your favourite musicians!

In this heartfelt and wide-ranging episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by legendary songwriter and founding member of INXS, Andrew Farriss. Andrew reflects on his incredible journey in music, including dealing with the loss of his bandmate and friend Michael Hutchence, and how that shaped his path forward both personally and creatively.

We dive into his latest solo release, the Americana-influenced album Southern, and talk about playing in Nashville, songwriting on horseback, and the freedom of riding through the wild west in search of inspiration. Andrew also shares his top 3 all-time favourite INXS songs, offering behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the making of some of the band's most iconic hits.

And of course, in true Mixtape tradition, Andrew curates a personal 6-song mixtape, taking us through the music that’s influenced his life, career, and sound.

Whether you're a lifelong INXS fan or discovering Andrew's solo work for the first time, this episode is full of reflection, storytelling, and the timeless power of music.

In this vibrant episode of The Mixtape, we catch up with multi-talented musician Jackson Weatherby, who opens up about life on the road with The Original Wailers and how reggae rhythms have shaped his journey as a performer.

But Jackson’s creativity doesn’t stop at the stage—he’s also making waves in the world of wine. We explore how he transitioned from touring artist to award-winning winemaker, blending music, culture, and craftsmanship in every bottle.

From backstage stories to vineyard inspirations, Jackson shares how both worlds complement each other in unexpected ways. And, as tradition on The Mixtape, he curates a 6-song mixtape filled with the tracks that have defined his sound and spirit.

Whether you're a fan of reggae, fine wine, or inspiring creative journeys, this episode hits all the right notes.
