Heartaches Coming Around03:26
Hello Lovelies,
I am very excited to announce that I will be setting off soon to start a new project with an amazing producer. Rod McCormack has agreed to spend five days writing a new album and we will also have his lovely wife Gina Jeffreys and rising star Max Jackson in to give us a hand for one or two days.
This was all initiated by my wonderful friend and mentor, Lou Bradley. I met Lou at Tamworth Country Music Festival in January and she has taken me under her wing.
I will be staying with my writing partner Lola Brinton, who penned the lyrics to my most recent single 'Heartaches Coming Around'. How great it is to have all this amazing talent living in the one place.
Recording will begin later in the year and I plan to release new singles in 2020.
In the meantime, please continue to enjoy my music right here. More is available on all streaming services and online stores.
All the best and have the loveliest day

The War ain't Over03:41
Hello beautiful people,
I am in the middle of touring and am a little behind in sending out my monthly update.
I have just uploaded a new song from my Truth & Trickery EP. 'The War Ain't Over' is a tune I wrote during the second gulf war (yes that long ago) and this is my second attempt at recording it. I think this one has scrubbed a little better than the original.
Have a listen and see what you think...have a great day
Cheers
Paula S

Mad March starts in February around here and we are kicking it off with a new Adelaide Songs show in The Adelaide Fringe. We have four shows at the salubrious La Bohème Cocktail Bar Feb 28 - Mar 3 at 6pm each day. There are a few new songs, for the returning punters, mixed in with the old, for the new punters. There are even a few new jokes ;D
For the local folk tickets are via Fringe Tix link
If you can't make it, have a listen to one of the songs written for the show about the demise of one of our local identities - Stormy Summer Blues - Good news we have recorded a swag of songs from the show and will be releasing them in May!
