Following an ARIA nomination for Best Country Album, Tamworth-born singer songwriter Charlie Collins today returns with the grippingly honest, self-reflective ‘I Don’t Want To Be In A Rock Band’, which premiered via Billboard US alongside a stunning vintage-inspired video directed by Mickey Mason.
The single marks Collins’ first new music since her critically acclaimed debut record ‘Snowpine’, released in May this year, and comes alongside the announcement of a new national headline tour.
Written while on tour with Gang Of Youths, ‘I Don’t Want To Be In A Rock Band’ is inspired by Collins’ long journey exploring different genres while fronting numerous bands, and the heavy heart she developed through a feeling of inauthenticity. Returning to her roots in honest and compelling storytelling lead Collins to pick up the pieces and write the music that comes naturally to her.
‘I Don’t Want To Be In A Rock Band’ was produced and mixed by John Castle (Jack River / Hatchie / Cub Sport / Angus & Julia Stone).
Charlie Collins has had a whirlwind past eighteen months, moving from strength to strength with every release and live performance. Having cut her teeth touring with some of Australia’s most beloved acts, such as Kasey Chambers and Gang Of Youths, plus touring with Laneway Festival and appearing at Fairgrounds, Collins has meticulously honed her sound and live performance, inviting audiences to share in the deeply intimate magic she creates on-and-off stage. Charlie Collins will also support Matt Corby at The Australian Open in January.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
