Van Walker returns from his award winning album GHOSTING (2020) with HEALING DESCENT (2024), ten personally powerful songs written around the spring of the first major lockdown (2020).

“Another effortless classic album.” ~ Mick Thomas

Recorded in just four days during a break on a Canadian tour last year, Van took the opportunity to team up again with mate and multi-instrumentalist Chris Altmann to produce Healing Descent, due out on Cheersquad Records & Tapes October 2024.

"Van’s songs are like messages from an unearthly time: beyond our modern tropes. I wanna live in that time." Tim Rogers

Having just toured Ireland and Canada, playing international festivals such as Ireland's Fleadh Festival to Australia's Port Fairy and Dashville Skyline, Van has been described as "One of the finest songwriters in the country" (Jeff Lang), and since joining The Ferriters they "have risen rapidly to be one of the best acts on the Irish-Australian scene." (Koroit Irish Festival)

"Poetic and elemental. Van's in his Nature Boy era and I'm here for it! After the changes and stresses we've all been through collectively over the last few years, this record feels like meditation." Ella Hooper

Van returns to The Brunswick Ballroom with a full band including producer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Altmann (The Vandas/Que Paso) with support from Amirillo and The Blown Cones.
