Jetty Road

Jetty Road have forged their own path and decided to go for it in a big way. 2009 saw the release of their new album, Life at a Million Miles - a new chapter in their remarkable journey. This album has a distinct flavour about it – confident with no apologies. “I stopped retreating to the backline, and I went out and I started playing the front nine” together with “I’ve always played my cards just how I wanted” and “this time I’m digging my feet down in the sand” are lyrics that capture the high and lows of their sometimes ‘crazy’ life...

Steve Forde

Steve Forde was born in the regional farming centre of Cowra in 1977. His parents were battlers with a dream of one day rising from the dust and hard work they endured to owning their own property and sinking deep, long-lasting roots. It was to this end that young Steve spent most of his early childhood moving from town to town across NSW with his family. Where there was good work to be had, that's where the family would go. It was in these early years that simple life philosophies were deeply ingrained into this young man.
