The Unquiet Road – a new album by singer-songwriter Tim Bara is a powerful collection of original songs in the Australian folk/country tradition. Tim Bara’s vocal style is direct and heartfelt, with an easy melodic lilt perfectly complemented by stunning acoustic string beds and vocal harmonies featured throughout.

Superbly produced and arranged, The Unquiet Road, was recorded and engineered by well-known Australian producer Andy Stewart of The Mill Studio, with string arrangements by AJ Leonard. Andy’s prior production credits include Paul Kelly, Gotye and Kutcha Edwards (among numerous national and international acts notched into his resume).

The Unquiet Road is a product of regional Victoria.
