Duncan Woods is a singer songwriter based in Newcastle, Australia. Duncan Woods – Zimbabwean born, Australian grown, traveling singer-songwriter.

His performances exude feel‑good energy, thoughtful lyrics, and an authentic rapport with audiences. Rhythmic guitar work under quick sharp lyrics are Duncan’s bread and butter play. His acoustic-driven folk/reggae/rap vocals weaving between the groove with ease will have you nodding your head in the back row or bouncing at the front without much need for encouragement. Over the past few years Dun

can’s interest in the big wide world around him
and especially the people in it have allowed him to soak in many sights,
sounds, smells, perspectives and beliefs. Throwing this all into the mix gets you hearing feel-good vibes and lyrics that touch on the philosophy of “being”. He spends his time chasing the sun from year to year, performing during the European
and Aussie summers, with a few extra trips off the migration path planned in each year. For Duncan, variety is the spice of life. He calls on his eclectic team of musicians spanning both hemispheres, creating exciting touring bands with the people he has connected with on his travels. Releases:

Studio Feber...'What's Wrong With Us' out 20.11.25

I found this moment in the google drive and thought maybe other musos could relate.. if you've ever spent long sessions in a studio it gets to this point of madness more often than not.

Earlier this year while I was back in Australia,
and spent several days straight recording all the drums and bass and other elements behind the upcoming EP. They were given pretty minimal direction from me other than to just feel into the music and put their own creativity into it.

After knowing these incredible musicians over many years from the Würzburg music world in Germany, whether playing shows together, just hanging for beers or watching them play in their other projects, I've seen their musicianship grow in all sorts of ways and I'm so honoured to have them work on this music with me. They all have amazing other projects on the go so do yourselves a wee favour and check out their profiles and what else they're up to 👀

My single "What's Wrong With Us?" is out this week, so in the interest of things to do with that, here's a few snaps taken while cobbling the album art idea together.

This is the first of maybe a couple more singles before I release the full EP early next year, which in theory is the first of two EP's, which in theory will form something of an album/vinyl release type thing. That's the rough plan anyhow so yeah, lots of new music to look forward to if you decide to look forward.

Feels so strange to be doing this again after so long, but I'm excited to say I'm releasing new music! It's uploaded and ready so no going back now. There's more to come and I can't wait to be out playing this stuff live here in Aus and in Europe next year!

Huge thanks need to go to so many people, but for now the lads in Germany and and in Australia from bringing the pieces together, thank you so much for helping get this project upnand running again.

A while back in Germany I asked my musical pals to help me revive a bunch of songs I'd written that I'd been keeping in the crypt. It's been amazing letting them loose on the tracks and seeing what comes out. The David has been with me every step of the production journey AND will be in Australia playing keys for the single launch alongside my Aussie compadres
and .

This will be a super fun night and I really want to pack it out so David feels welcome and validated for spending so much time on this music, so buy your tickets 🎫.

If you haven't heard my music but know from around Newcastle, it's a bit like that but with acoustic guitar and slightly less Wombat references x

I'm re-igniting my "solo" project with "What's Wrong With Us?" Performing this alongside a collection of songs I've written over the years arranged with a 4-piece band.

Expect a mixture of ernest and raw songs of reflection and self-examination of my life in my twenties, as well as some absurdity as per usual. Acoustic guitar, harmonies, cooking rootsy grooves with special guests are all on offer. We have the amazing on support.

FRI 10th OCTOBER
LOCATION: SECRET (Released on ticket purchase)

DOORS: 6:00PM

MEEDIE: 7:00PM

Autumn is here, I'm heading away soon for the winter. But before I go we're hosting a lil house gig to share music from the projects myself and my friends have been working on over the last few months.

It's been ages since I played original music under my own name, it's been a strange full circle thing but now I'm feeling comfortable in myself and my music to share songs about my personal experiences again. Along with that I'm so excited to be able to host my band and pals .impostor , and (Packed With Haste) AND a debut duo on the decks in &

There's only a couple of tix left, so if you're a fan or friend of any of the acts on the bill, we hope you can make it! Xx
