Gannon released his debut album, 3 Hours, in 2015, collaborating with producer Ric Laurance. The album blended indie rock, folk, and alternative influences, receiving positive reviews.[1]
In 2016, he signed with Animal Farm Records, a London-based label, and released the EP Care Factor Zero. The lead single, Little Honey, topped Australian charts for three weeks and helped establish him in the folk-rock scene.[1]

In 2020, Gannon relocated to the United Kingdom and formed The Jode Gannon Band, a four-piece rock group blending folk and country elements. The band gained recognition for their live performances and songwriting. Their 2021 single, Love Don't Bring Me Down, was followed by Rebel Without a Cause (2022) and Darkest Oceans (2023).[2]
Early Career and Breakthrough (2021)
In 2021, Australian singer-songwriter Jode Gannon and fellow Banbury-based key worker Mathew Cartwright announced the release of their debut single, Sunken Ships. The single was a result of their shared experiences as frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both Gannon and Cartwright were working essential jobs throughout the crisis, and the song reflects the emotional challenges and growth they encountered during this difficult time.[3]
The Banbury Guardian article highlighted the resilience and strength shown by Gannon and Cartwright, as they navigated their demanding work while also pursuing their passion for music. The release of Sunken Ships marked a significant milestone in Gannon’s musical journey, with its poignant lyrics about overcoming personal adversity and navigating the storms of life. The song quickly gained attention for its raw emotion and its powerful message of hope.[3]
In 2023, the band released Don't Let The Fire Go Out, produced in collaboration with French DJ Arthur Conseil. The song gained traction in the UK and Europe.[4]
His music was later featured on BBC programming.[5]

Gannon is also involved in philanthropic efforts, working to establish a special needs center in the Algarve, Portugal, to support children and adults with disabilities.[6]
