promises to be an unforgettable adventure.

Robbie MortimerRobbie Mortimer is quickly building a reputation as one of Australian Country Music’s most exciting new artists. The 2023 Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist spent last year electrifying festival audiences and touring Australia’s east coast as the feature artist on the Professional Bull Rider’s Association (PBR) Monster Energy Tour.
Robbie’s new single ‘Blow The Speakers’ is a high energy country anthem that follows the dreams of a country kid - from his first guitar to his first car to hitting the back roads with the radio pumping as he searches for the soundtrack to his life. “It’s about how a song can instantly transport us back to a moment in time” remarks Robbie.
Growing up in Orange as one of five boys, Robbie's family bond was unbreakable. "We worshipped the ground our parents walked on” says Robbie fondly. He and his brothers were deeply involved in rugby league, a testament to their sporting roots – Robbie’s father and uncle are Canterbury Bulldogs legends Peter and Steve Mortimer respectively - and a close-knit community. (Keep an eye out for Peter’s cameo in the video!)
After a three-year stint in Queensland playing Rugby League with the Redcliffe Dolphins, Robbie headed home to the family farm in Orange where his natural leadership skills led him to work as a special needs teacher and to mentor indigenous youth. “I’m full of optimism. I see the light in everything.” reflects Robbie. I’d throw myself into teaching by day and every other waking moment was spent honing my songwriting skills and dreaming my life as a performer.”
Robbie’s back with the PBR in 2024 as the feature artist on their major events and will appear at Winton’s Way Out West Festival, Dubbo’s Stock Route Festival, Goulburn’s Carnival of Cups and The Heart of the Hunter Festival with more to be confirmed.
With a wild heart and spirit, Robbie Mortimer isn’t just another aspiring star; he’s a storyteller, a dynamic live performer, and an advocate of the power of music to heal and uplift. If you’re a gambler, put your money on Robbie Mortimer. If you’re not, wish him love and watch him fly.
