In this episode of The Mixtape, we sit down with Australian rock legend John “Swanee” Swan to dive into his brand-new album Believe and the remarkable stories behind his music. From his early days playing drums for Bon Scott, to the hilarious pranks with his brother Jimmy Barnes, Swanee shares raw and personal reflections from his life in rock ’n’ roll.

But this conversation goes beyond the stage. Swanee opens up about how his inspiring work with palliative care homes and burn victims gave him the strength and clarity to stay clean and sober, showing a side of resilience that fans rarely get to hear.

And, true to The Mixtape tradition, Swanee curates a personal mixtape of songs that shaped his journey, from the anthems of his youth to the tracks that continue to inspire him today.

If you love Australian rock history, heartfelt storytelling, and timeless music, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
