Washington-born alt-country artist Liam St. John is back with a powerful new release, “Unearth,” a brooding track that explores the consuming nature of obsession and devotion. Drawing from blues, country, and western gothic rock, the single showcases another side of an artist who continues to push beyond traditional genre boundaries.
Built around rugged guitar riffs, driving percussion, and an unmistakably gritty atmosphere, “Unearth” finds St. John leaning into a heavier, more shadowy sound. His commanding vocals take center stage, shifting between soulful restraint and soaring intensity as the song unfolds. The result is a release that captures both the rawness of rock and the emotional depth that has become a defining part of his songwriting.
The new single arrives alongside an exciting announcement for Australian fans. St. John is set to make his long-awaited Australian debut next March at the 20th anniversary of CMC Rocks in Queensland. He will share the festival lineup with some of country music’s biggest names, including Eric Church, Brooks & Dunn, and Ashley McBryde, among others.
“Unearth” follows the release of “Man I Drew” and “Send for Me,” the latter becoming his biggest single to date. Both tracks build on the growing success of his debut album, Man Of The North, which introduced his distinctive blend of blues-driven rock and alternative country to a much wider audience. Since its arrival, the album has attracted considerable industry attention, with features from Rolling Stone, NPR’s Weekend Edition, People Magazine, and an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The project also earned St. John a Spotify billboard feature and prominent playlist placements on Audiomack and TIDAL.
With more than 100 million streams worldwide, sold-out performances across the United States, Europe, and the UK, and appearances at major events including SXSW, Lollapalooza, and CMA Fest, St. John has built considerable momentum. His career has also reached another milestone with his debut performance at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
With “Unearth,” Liam St. John continues to establish a sound that refuses to stay within one lane, bringing together blues influences, rock intensity, and deeply personal storytelling. As his international audience continues to grow, his upcoming Australian debut marks another significant step forward.
