Andrew Farriss Unveils New Single From Forthcoming Album 'The Prospector'

'The Prospector' follows Farriss’s 2021 self-titled debut and his first-ever appearance at the Grand Ole Opry.

Andrew Farriss is gearing up for a very busy few months, with the singer-songwriter and INXS icon releasing a new album and hitting the road very soon.

His forthcoming album, The Prospector, is scheduled for release via Rockingham Holdings Pty Ltd / AWAL (The Orchard) on Friday, 10 July. To promote the record, he’s unveiled the single, Rolling Home, which captures senses we’ve all experienced: longing and reflection.

Farriss said of the single, “Rolling Home is about the emotions most of us have felt about leaving home for the first time, to go explore another place, another city, another town.

“Especially for those who come from small towns into the big city, and then the desire to return to their roots, realising maybe the fantasy of the big city doesn’t match up to reality.”

The Prospector has been described as a record “shaped by lived experience, narrative depth, and a clear sense of place”—the best kind of country rock album. And The Prospector goes beyond having a cool title; Farriss is here to make a point.

“I chose ‘THE PROSPECTOR’ as my album title because of the 12 songs on the album, especially the lyrics and the many references made to searching for things in life… whether you are searching for gold physically or for the gold in heartfelt meaningful relationships with others,” he explained.

He continued, “‘The Prospector’ album is my second solo release. It is a little more mellow than my first album, and a little bit more introspective lyrically, but I’m pleased with the recordings and songs on the album.”

The Prospector follows Farriss’s 2021 self-titled debut. In 2024, he reached a major milestone, making his Grand Ole Opry debut, with Keith Urban appearing as a special guest. He returns to the Opry stage on his new album’s release date.

In addition to new music, Farriss will perform to fans in Australia next month. He’s set to perform at Brisbane’s Black Bear Lodge on Thursday, 6 August, Blues on the Mountain festival on Friday, 7 August, Canberra’s Smiths Alternative on Saturday, 8 August, and Winter Set at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Sunday, 9 August.
