[2] The aim of the magazine was "to inform, educate and entertain local musicians of all levels", and the print version was available for free at musical instrument retailers.
It has included interviews with musicians such as Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, Kate Ceberano, Wolfmother, Little Birdy, Paul Dempsey, and Dave Graney.
In December 2007, an all-female edition was produced by guest editor Clare Bowditch, with every single article was about female artists and every item in the magazine was written by women.
[2][3] Australian Musician also specialised in covering bands' soundchecks, with rare editorial and photographic access to acts during rehearsals.
Artists that have allowed the magazine access include The Rolling Stones, Joe Satriani, The Thrills, Roger Waters', and Sepultura.
