ABOUT ME:

‘Ramblerman’ is the creative moniker of Canberra-based songwriter Stephen Dobson - a visual artist and designer turned experimental songwriter.

Drawn to music as both craft and catharsis, as ‘Ramblerman’ Stephen enjoys the process of taking loose ideas and vulnerable emotions, and, through process, allowing each song to develop in its own unique way while always centred on lyrical vulnerability and emotional clarity.

From his home studio in Canberra, Stephen teaches guitar and songwriting, passionate about helping others discover their own voice through music.
