This guy is really amazing, one of the best acoustic guitarists I've heard, a good vocalist, and a great songwriter. Check out the song Betterman (and then the others) here. And then, if you can find them, the songs Take and What You Want are truly amazing. What You Want is simply one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

Also, from his website, you can find audio downloads of practically every live show he's done. They're bootlegs, though, so it's not always great quality.

I think he's US born but grew up in Australia, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the Trio are Aussies.

So, yeah, good to see Aussie music going international :D
They've been big over here for a while. Their latest album Sunrise Over Sea was number 1 on the charts for several months.

Well, they're not really big over here (yet?). I saw an ad for them on MySpace and was intruiged by the unusual combination of dreads and acoustic guitar, so I gave them a listen.
