This week on Darcy’s Country, Darcy Hay sits down with the powerhouse of country blues, Paul Davies — an artist whose music is as honest and weathered as the roads he’s travelled. With roots that dig deep into the traditions of country and the soul of the blues, Paul brings a refreshing rawness to the genre that’s hard to ignore.

In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, Darcy and Paul explore the moments that shaped Paul’s musical journey — from his early influences and the challenges of life on the road, to the deep emotional well that fuels his songwriting. Paul opens up about how the stories of everyday people inspire his music, the importance of staying true to his sound, and what the blues means to him in a modern world.

You’ll also hear live performances, behind-the-scenes stories from the studio and stage, and Paul’s take on where country blues is headed next. Whether you’re a die-hard country fan or just discovering the genre, this episode offers a rich and soulful experience you won’t want to miss.

Tune in for heartfelt conversation, gritty bluesy twang, and an unforgettable artist doing it his own way — this is Darcy’s Country with Paul Davies.

Darcy is taking you out bush this week with a special episode dedicated to the Byro Plains – a place close to his heart and steeped in history, beauty, and inspiration. Hear Darcy share stories from the plains and debut a song that was written to honour the land and its spirit.

Also joining the show is David Pensabane from Hopping Mouse Studios.

It’s a heartfelt, grounded, and insightful episode that celebrates storytelling, songwriting, and the soul of country music.

In this debut episode, Darcy kicks things off with a bang as he’s joined by a true standout in the Australian country scene — Pete Byfield. A singer-songwriter with a passion for storytelling and a voice that carries the red dirt roads and open skies of the outback, Pete has become something of a local legend in Western Australia and beyond.
