IAN MOSS

Ian Richard Moss (born 20 March 1955) is an Australian rock musician from Alice Springs. He is the founding mainstay guitarist and occasional singer of Cold Chisel. In that group's initial eleven-year phase from 1973 to 1984, Moss was recorded on all five studio albums, three of which reached #1 on the national Kent Music Report Albums Chart. In August 1989 he released his debut solo album, 'Matchbook', which peaked at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It was preceded by his debut single, "Tucker's Daughter", which reached #2 on the related ARIA Singles Chart in March. The track was co-written by Moss with Don Walker, also from Cold Chisel. Moss had another top ten hit with "Telephone Booth" in June 1989.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1990 Moss won five categories: Album of the Year, Best Male Artist, Breakthrough Artist – Album, Single of the Year and Breakthrough Artist – Single. Since then, his solo music career has been more low-key, his other top 50 albums are 'Worlds Away' (November 1991), 'Let's all Get Together' (July 2007) and 'Soul on West 53rd' (November 2009). In 1993 Cold Chisel, with Moss as a member, were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Moss has participated with periodic Cold Chisel reunion tours or new studio albums. In March 2018, Moss released 'Ian Moss', his first solo album of all original material in 22 years. The album peaked at #11 on the ARIA Charts. He performed at the 2021 NRL Grand Final, singing "Flame Trees" alongside Kate Miller-Heidke, before performing his solo hit "Tucker's Daughter". In July 2023, Moss will release his eighth studio album 'Rivers Run Dry'. The album will be supported by a national tour commencing in August 2023.
