About Me

after 30 years of living, working, moving and drinking, bj turner is set to “peddle his wares” any place where the bartenders are kind and the beer is cold.the music he writes blends “on the rocks” folk and country, with a dash of “stick to your brain” melodies, and “stick to the carpet” lyrics. sometimes hurting, sometimes sweet, bj turner’s music is always honest and raw.bj turner grew up in devonport, tasmania. and has travelled and lived in queensland and new south wales. settling in melbourne in 2001, he’s played numerous residencies around town and has recently recorded a sample of his extensive repertoire.
