Rising to fame as a founding member of Cold Chisel in the 1970s, Moss helped define the sound of Australian rock, delivering both searing solos and timeless vocals. His breakout solo album Matchbook topped the ARIA charts in 1989 and won five ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for “Tucker’s Daughter.”
Over the decades, Moss has released seven studio albums and toured relentlessly, including his acclaimed Rivers Run Dry tour and the standout live albums Live at the Enmore and Live at Anita’s.

With a career spanning five decades, Ian Moss remains a creative and captivating force on the Australian music scene.
