Originally from Nambucca Heads, NSW and now located in Melbourne, JARRAH THOMPSON, struck his first chord at age 6, music always a huge part in his early life into his teens.

"We just liked hearing our amps cranked in the garage." says Jarrah "just the idea of making music was what held us". 2001 saw the birth of a rock band '147k' along with the guidance of Australian Hall Of Fame Inductee Lobby Loyde. "Those years were where I learned about life and the music business from a great guitar legend".

Now in 2008 we see the explosive, passionate, blues/rock 9 piece band with Jarrah on guitar and vox, Chris Cameron on drums, Kristoff Lajoie on bass, a three piece brass section, Alejandro Vega (Little River Band) on percussion, Dan Richardson on Flute plus back up singers! With heavy inspiration from Joe Walsh, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Jarrah is an emerging performer to watch closely.
