Alternative folk/rock troubadour Tim Wheatley has returned with his newest track,alongside an accompanying film clip that’s steeped in nostalgia.

His newest single ’78 Benz’is a rambling, guitar-driven ode to those who follow their passion, despite the rejection and struggle that accompanies it. Produced by Paul Mckercher (You Am I, Sarah Blasko, Josh Pyke) and mixed by Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Warren Zevon), Wheatley’s effortless vocals float gently atop a bed of acoustic strumming, emotive harmony and country-inspired licks.

Catch him at The Marlborough Hotel on Thursday June 2.
