200 – Andrew Farriss (INXS, Solo Artist)
Andrew Farriss is an iconic Australian multi-instrumentalist and song writer, best know for his work in INXS.
Hailed by many as one of the world’s great song writers, Andrew has 12 albums with INXS under his belt and over 60 singles during his career with various artists from around the globe. Andrew co-wrote all but one of INXS’ top 40 hits – The guy knows how to write a song!
Andrew is releasing his debut solo album due out on 15 May 2020 and has just released the second single “Good Momma Bad” which is available now on YouTube and all streaming services. EDIT: Due to the events of 2020, Andrew pushed his album back to March 2021. You can listen to my more recent conversation with Andrew on episode 281 HERE.
