With strong connections to the land and farmer friends, Nollsie has put his hand up to perform at several events raising funds for drought.
“This is essentially my shout out song for all city folk, especially, to lend a hand to their country cousins,” he said.
“People on the land are quite proud. We need them to know we are here for them and that they are not alone, it could provide them with some hope when many are, sadly, feeling hopeless due to this natural disaster.”
Re-recording his 2012 song Lean On Me, the digital release will see 100 per cent of money raised going to Drought Angels.

He lost his own family farm to drought more than a decade ago.
Funding the recording, players and studio sessions himself, Nollsie hopes farmers can listen to the song when times get tough.
“It came to me because the words are not my personal story, they are words for everyone to interpret how they feel with their own personal situation,” he said.
“All I hope is that the farmers and volunteers know it is really about and for them.”
Lean on Me can be downloaded on iTunes or streamed on Spotify.
