Sydney-based singer/songwriter Steve Wernick has just released his debut full length solo album Love Is A Gamble (via RPM Records). Drawing from the rich history of folk, blues and country with a punk spirit, Wernick deals with pain and heartbreak across a dozen songs drawn from personal experience over a seven year period.

Wernick’s history on the Sydney music scene includes time spent with bands The Twisted Waltons and The Cleanskins (with guitarist Rolfe Knudsen) between 2009-2013.

Check out the clip for the slow-burning ache and tragedy of ‘Keep On Wearing Black’ and catch Wernick with his full band, launching Love Is A Gamble at The Gasoline Pony in Marrickville on June 24th, with support from Mark Lucas and friends.
