Jayne Denham: Rockin’ Airlie Beach with Grit, Fire & Country-Rock Soul

Jayne Denham is heading to the Airlie Beach Festival of Music (7–9 Nov), and she’s bringing something powerful: a unique fusion of country roots and full-throttle rock attitude. As Scenestr put it in their October 2025 feature, Jayne is now a “rockin’ country badass boss singer”, and her journey from a dreamin’ country girl to a high-energy festival force is nothing short of epic.

From Country Roots to Rock Stardom

In the Scenestr interview, Jayne reflects on her musical upbringing:

“I grew up with my heart in rock music, but I was raised on country — my musical histories meshed together.” scenstr on X (formerly Twitter)

That fusion of styles is what makes her sound so unmistakably her own — blending storytelling, grit, and the swagger of classic rock.

She also calls back to her identity shift:

“From a dreamin’ country girl to a rockin’ country badass boss — it’s been one hell of a journey.” Instagram

It’s this dual heritage, country sincerity + rock defiance, that’s earned her a well-deserved spot at Airlie Beach.

Sharing the Stage with Aussie Rock Legends

Jayne’s billing at Airlie Beach is significant when you consider the other acts on the lineup. According to the festival program, she’ll be performing alongside iconic Australian rock and roots artists such as The Screaming Jets, Bachelor Girl, Choirboys, Pete Murray, Jessica Mauboy, Hillbilly Goats and Diesel.
