Bella MackenzieBella Mackenzie is starting the year strong with the release of her new single Tombstone Desperado, a high-energy country rock track featuring rising US artist Jake Banfield.
Inspired by the 1993 outlaw film Tombstone, the song lands just as Mackenzie prepares to hit the road as main support on Banfield’s The Lasso Australian Tour kicking off tomorrow.
The collaboration leans into grit, confidence and second chances, with Mackenzie describing the track as a reminder that mistakes don’t define you but rather how you move forward that does.
Following the success of her 2025 single Grew Up Country with Homegrown Trio, which climbed to #10 on the Countrytown Hot 50 Australian Country Radio Charts, Tombstone Desperado shows a tougher, more sassy side of the North Queensland artist.

Originally from the coal mining town of Moranbah, Mackenzie has been writing songs since she was 12 and cut her teeth the old-school way by playing pubs, bars and regional stages across Australia. That grind has paid off, with nearly 100,000 social followers tuning into her music and story.
Mackenzie has a huge few months ahead, with performances locked in for Tamworth Country Music Festival, CMC Rocks Festival, and tours supporting Jake Banfield in January and Riley Green in March.
