Van Walker and his brother Cal are native Tasmanians, who relocated to Melbourne years ago. Van has written over 500 songs across many genres and released 6 full length albums between 2006-2010. Since then he has been involved in many projects and toured nationally and internationally.
Around 2015 Van began writing and demoing songs, planning a solo work, 'Ghosting' (Green South Records) which after five long years has now been released.
Recorded with Jeff Lang & Dave Walker, and guesting musicians such as Matt Walker, Shane Reilley and Jeff Lang himself, the album is a work of stark and bracing honesty, simple in arrangement but clear to a depth, welcoming audiences into an intimate, warm-hearted and ultimately redeeming musical journey.
