Jimmy Barnes Biography

Jimmy Barnes is an Australian rock and roll singer-songwriter and musician. He is considered the heart and the soul of Australian rock and roll. His name evokes the sound of ear-splitting rock classics plus signature readings of soul standards. He has enjoyed nineteen #1 albums here – more than The Beatles – and sold more records in this country than any other local artist. For well over 40 years, he has delivered some of our most intense and iconic live performances and sung unforgettable hits like “Working Class Man,” “Flame Trees,” “No Second Prize,” “Khe Sanh” and “Shutting Down Our Town.” From a wild youth fronting the legendary Cold Chisel to his more recent years as a beloved family man, Barnes has been through it all and literally lived to tell the tales. He is truly in a league of his own, having been inducted into the ARIA Hall of fame … twice.

In 2016, Barnes’ self-penned childhood memoir, “Working Class Boy,” was a #1 bestseller and won the Australian Book Industry Award (ABIA). His 2017 sequel, “Working Class Man,” also topped the charts and won the ABIA, making him the first person to ever win “Biography Of The Year” twice. The two books have sold over 500,000 copies so far, making them the most successful biographical series in local publishing history. HisStories & Songslive production based on these memoirs sold out over 100 shows and attracted unanimous critical as did the related documentary film “Working Class Boy” which topped the box office in late 2018. Clearly Barnes’s life story holds a unique fascination for Australians of all ages.

In June 2019, Barnes released “My Criminal Record” – his first new, original album in almost decade. It picked up on many of the themes in his books and was written by Barnes, with significant collaboration from his lifelong sparring partner, Cold Chisel’s Don Walker. It topped the chart and was followed by another #1 album over the summer of 2019/20 when Cold Chisel released “Blood Moon” and toured outdoor venues across Australia.

Barnes’ book of short stories, “Killing Time,” was released in late 2020. Written largely during the Covid19 shutdown, the book featured tall tales, out-takes and B-sides from one of Australia’s finest storytellers. Never one to slow down, Barnes unveiled two more books in 2021 – a children’s title, “Rosie the Rhinoceros,” and a cookbook with his wife, Jane, titled “Where The River Bends.”

“Flesh And Blood,” Barnes twentieth studio album, was released in July 2021. Borne out of the live-from-home performances that comforted millions via social media during their pandemic isolation, these ten brand new recordings featured multiple contributions from Barnes’s extended family. The title track was debuted at the State Memorial Service for Barnes’s close mate, Michael Gudinski and went on to be nominated for an APRA Award as Australia’s “Most Performed Rock Work.”

Adding to Barnes’ record-breaking cache of #1 Albums, in June 2022 his reimagined and remastered “Soul Deep 30” debuted at the top spot on the ARIA chart, taking his career total to 14 solo number ones plus five with Cold Chisel. The accompanying “Soul Deep 30” arena tour received glowing reviews.

Barnes has also been made an Officer of the Order Of Australia (AO) for “distinguished service to the performing arts as a musician, singer and songwriter, and through support for not-for-profit organisations, particularly to children with a disability.”
