More about Lachlan
With a background in Jazz, Classical and Contemporary Music, Lachlan is an accomplished drummer and handpan artist who has performed with some of the most celebrated musicians and ensembles in Australia including James Morrison, John Hoffman, Melissa Western, Peter Combe, Kristin Berardi, Elly Hoyt, The View from Madeleine’s Couch and the Queensland Pops Orchestra.
In 2014, Lachlan was named one of six national finalists in the James Morrison Scholarship and has since continued his drumming career while exploring his own voice as a songwriter with the meditative sounds of the handpan.
As a solo handpan artist, Lachlan's melodic rhythms soothe soul as his lyrics press deeper into themes of belonging, self-acceptance, perseverance and loss. Lachlan has shared his award-winning handpan music project "No Enemy Within" with audiences around Australia including recent performances at the Brisbane City Hall, Palm Creek Folk Festival and the Majors Creek Folk Festival.
Lachlan was awarded the Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts Award in 2018, and celebrated his debut album release "No Enemy Within" with a short national tour accompanied by two Highly Commended Awards at the 2019 Queensland Music Awards.
