About John Schumann AM

“Australians of all ages and from all walks of life are familiar with John Schumann’s song, “I Was Only 19”.

"John Schumann is a one-off – the artist/intellectual with the unerring popular touch and a campfire voice. He belongs to an Australian tradition of yarn spinners and song-makers. To the familiar Australian and treasured front bar ‘wisdom’ and the paddock fence stoicism, he adds a depth of feeling and an acuity of perception that go beyond the bounds of ‘folk’ and ‘popular’ and are the attributes of the true, creative artist.”

Professor Brian Matthews
