Riley Catherall is a Singer-Songwriter based in Melbourne who has built a credible status as one of the country’s most promising songwriters through his poetic sincerity and alluring live shows. "The Light, The Beautiful Liar" is Riley Catherall's second full-length record released in mid 2024. Singles "Bark At The Moon" and "Coming Down, Coming Over" flagship this collection of songs about the kind of love that desperately tries to endure the unwelcoming stark light of the morning. Sold out shows across the UK and Scandinavia, as well as appearances at prestigious festivals such as Woodford, Queenscliff and Maverick (UK) provided those who attended an insight into the workings of a prolific songwriter in the sophomore stage of his career. Riley released his debut full-length album in late 2021: “When I Go” an amalgamation of songs about leaving, losing love, and finding somewhere to settle down. National praise came in spades for singles “Mother Please”, “Vacant Lot” and “Leave Me Out To Dry” – all receiving extensive streams, national airplay and an addition into ABC National's high rotation. Catherall’s writing has also attracted international attention with radio play across Europe and the UK – “A F***ing Virtuoso” Chris Jagger delicately put it after he appeared at the Maverick Americana Festival in Suffolk, UK where he was listed as a festival favourite alongside Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes and Hannah Aldridge.
