Originally hailing from Murchison New Zealand, Country Singer - Songwriter Rhys Warner now calls Perth WA home. Rhys is proud to announce the release of his debut single ‘Holding a Good Hand’, lifted from his brand new album ‘Songs Wot I Like & Songs Wot I Rit’. The album is a combination of his own original compositions and songs that Rhys has fallen in love with.   

“What drew me to ''holding a good hand first was the great country melody, with the intro of a great country guitar riff, and lyrically about finding that ''true love'' in your life, holding on and never letting go. As the intro -lyrics say, love is a gamble, you can win or lose. Holding a good hand was a must to put on my CD.” Rhys
