Dave Garner is a singer-songwriter from Sydney, Australia, known for work that sits in the alt-country, rock, indie and americana area. He releases his first album, Nothin' In The Rearview, in 2000. The record establishes him as a songwriter, guitar player and singer, and it is supported by live performances at major Sydney venues.

Garner builds a live reputation through headline shows and support slots for Australian and international artists including Peter Sarstedt, Mick Thomas of Weddings Parties Anything, and blues musician Chris Wilson. In 2004 he releases One Degree Of Separation, which shifts away from the raw sound of the debut towards sparser arrangements and loop-based textures. The album also strengthens the role of producer and engineer Bruce Williams in shaping Garner’s sound.

Garner later works with Williams, founder of audio2u.com, on his third album, Hard Road Home, which is planned as a return to an organic, punchy roots style. The broader project centres on his songwriting and performance as a solo artist.
