BoRN TO RIDE - RAISED TO ROCK
Singer, songwriter & artist Rockin' Country
- Jayne Denham Bio -
Seven-time Golden Guitar nominee Jayne Denham is one of Australia's most admired and sought-after country rock performers. With her latest album, MOONSHINE, Jayne’s musical voyage pays homage to the adventurous thrill-seekers and inevitable heartbreak that characterised a period of defiance and rebellion. Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally, and Jon Randall joined this musical campaign, as their lyrics and songs were chosen to bring Jayne’s Moonshine album to life.
Her fifth album, WANTED, came out of the gate, firing all the bullets, reaching No. 1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album Chart. WANTED was hailed as a country rock musical journey with a spaghetti western flare.
Denham has scored five No. 1 smash hits in Australia, six Top 10 songs in the National Country Charts, 12 Top 30 videos, and six Country Music Channel (CMC) nominations. Three of Denham’s music videos have gone No. 1 on CMT, including "Car Trouble," "Hung Up On You, and "Addicted to the Diesel.”
Jayne has also performed for CMC Rocks the Hunter, QLD and North QLD, Gympie Muster, Deni Ute Muster, NQ’s Rockin’ Country, Groundwater CMF, and PBR. She has also appeared on USA stages, including Nashville Today, the Mid-American Truck Show, the Great American Truck Show, the Ohio Truck Show, and Whiskey Jam.
Building on the success of her chart-topping album WANTED, Jayne released Moonshine in 2024, a 10-track album landing No. 1 on ARIA Top 20 Australian Country Albums, No. 7 on ARIA Top 20 Australian Albums and No. 14 on ARIA Top 40 Country Albums, and No. 2 on the Australian Independent Record Labels Association with the focus track “Lovin’ A Wild Thing” No. 2 on Country Songs. The ‘Moonshine Deluxe’ Album was released on September 27, 2024
The album title track, “Moonshine,” featuring Colt Ford, was written by Cameron Jaymes, Colin Elmore, and Melissa Peirce. The boot-stomping cross-country collaboration infused Jayne’s country rock roots. It captivated audiences worldwide with placements on CMT USA, CMT Official Top 30 in Australia, No. 5 on KIX Country, and CountryTown Hot 50. Since then, Jayne has released singles “Face of the Sun” and “Stunt Double,” placing No. 1 on the Country Radio charts and landing on USA’s New Music Friday, and “Are You Ready For This,” with Hurricane Fall.
Jayne is nominated for the 2025 Golden Guitar Awards in two categories: Toyota Album of the Year and Contemporary Country Album of the Year.
