Award winning country singer-songwriters Matt Scullion and Col Finley deliver 'From The Ashes' - a song of resilience

Country music heavyweights Matt Scullion and Col Finley have joined forces to pen an emotionally charged song reflecting on one of Australia’s most catastrophic disasters. “From The Ashes” is a song about the summer bushfires that devastated parts of Australia in 2019/2020. It’s a song about the heartache of losing everything as well as the bravery of neighbours and emergency services. It’s also a song about resilience, the courage to get back up when all is lost and start again.

The track, which is fifth single from Matt Scullion’s album “Aussie As Vol 2” was produced by Golden Guitar winning Shane Nicholson.

“From The Ashes” is a song that I felt needed to be written, but knew it was a story that I couldn’t tell on my own. So, I contacted my good friend & one Australia best songwriters and I honestly think we have written a song that reflects the true heart and essence of the Australian spirit.” Col Finley

“When Col rang me early Jan 2020 with the line “From The Ashes We Will Rise”, my ears pricked up. Being from the South Coast of NSW where towns were decimated, I feel a strong connection to the song we’ve written”. Matt Scullion

Matt Scullion, who has a long history of telling Australian stories, is a Golden Guitar winning Australiana singer-songwriter with 25 number one songs to his credit.
