One of Australia’s greatest success stories, the American-born Diesel, aka Mark Lizotte, has spent three decades weaving an effortlessly magic musical touch into his rock and blues-fuelled sounds, both as part of the band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors and as a solo artist. With multiple #1 ARIA charting albums under his belt, Diesel’s creative skillset also expands beyond his own projects, with the talented singer, songwriter and guitarist also renowned for his work as a producer and multi-instrumentalist.
Now set to wow fans once again with his new album Bootleg Melancholy, Diesel is definitely not slowing down. “It’s always exciting bringing a song into the live realm, it’s like bringing new friends into the fold with old friends. And I’m most excited to feel the reaction from the audience with the new songs, it’s always a ‘butterflies in the stomach’ kind of feeling – but I thrive on that.”
