Christopher Coleman chats about his latest album ‘The Great Tasmanian Escape’

Hobart musician Christopher Coleman’s latest album The Great Tasmanian Escape is set against the backdrop of rural Tasmanian life. The Great Tasmanian Escape is a semi-autobiographical affair, narrating a decade in the life of protagonist Jesse after he returns from serving in the Middle East.

The album was tracked at Sing Sing Studios Melbourne in August 2018 with Glenn Richards, the late great Mike Noga, Stu Hollingsworth and Kelly Ottaway, before Coleman expanded the lineup by inviting Frances White, Georgie Smith and Louisa Hogue to make up the eight-piece live act which he says “grew into a Springsteen-esque Australiana rock thing nodding at The Go-Betweens, Midnight Oil and Paul Kelly”.
