Rhys Duursma
Songwriter (Mayfair Lane)
Rhys Duursma is a songwriter from the Batemans Bay area of NSW. Whether in his alt-rock band Lowline, Creating sweet indie-folk sounds with duo, Mayfair Lane or simply sitting by himself with a guitar he crafts stories that resonate in the same spirit of the Australian landscape – timeless, honest and vulnerable. Ever since he was young his hope was that these songs, birthed in his solitary, quiet, melancholy inner world, could somehow become a conversation where together we can explore our humanity and the things that unite us all.
