South Australian singer-songwriter, John Schumann, is best known, perhaps, for his Vietnam veterans’ anthem, “I Was Only 19”. He will hasten to assure you that it’s not the only song he’s written.
He has recorded ten albums and is the recipient of almost every award the music industry has to offer.Formerly the lead singer and one of the 2 major songwriters for the legendary Australian folk-rock band, Redgum, John’s new performing and recording entity is John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew. Among his many accolades, John Schumann is a Member of the Order of Australia and is the recipient of a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Flinders University.John Schumann still lives in Adelaide. He has upset almost everyone in a position of importance both here and interstate. He claims not to care.
John Schumann is has recently stepped down as chair of the Maxima Group. Based in Adelaide with over 500 FTEs and over 50 offices across the country, Maxima is a highly regarded not-for-profit organisation committed to recruitment, employment and training - with a particular focus on finding employment for indigenous Australians and people with a disability.
Described by rock historian Glenn A. Baker as “one of the finest songwriters this country has produced”, John’s songs have been paid the ultimate compliment by becoming the property of the people and the country they were written about. His lyrics are on reading lists in schools, colleges and universities throughout Australia.
