What's Wrong With Me?03:10
Hello everyone,
I am excited to be officially launching my new three track EP 'Taking It Well' into all music stores as of November 1, 2018.
One of the tracks 'What's Wrong With Me?' has been sitting at No.2 in all countries these past few weeks.
The official launch will be from The Wheatsheaf Hotel here in Adelaide, where I am supporting Clint Wilson and his band, from Melbourne, as they tour their new album Dark Water.
Hope you have a wonderful day
Cheers

I kicked off this month performing at The Semaphore Music Festival on the BSide Community Stage. A fabulous annual event which managed to support itself this year after previous funding was lost. Thanks to all the hard work of entrepreneur Debra Thorsen with her band of merry volunteers, sponsor Robert Dunstan from BSide Magazine and the many good hearted local musicians who all came to the party.
I am jetting off to Far North Queensland in a couple of days to spend some time with family and perform a small concert to the residents of Carinya Aged Care where my Mum is enjoying her latter years.
Later in the month, I will join the Adelaide Songs crew to present another show in the Back2Back Short Show Festival at The Star Theatres in Hilton.
Then on November 1, I will be launching my new EP 'Taking It Well' alongside Clint Wilson's New album Dark Water tour at the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Thebarton. The three new tracks from my EP are available for listening on N1M right now and will be available to purchase from the release date vie all online stores.
Even more new tracks have been recorded and are just awaiting mixing and mastering. Watch this space for more news on those.

I Will Follow You04:06
Spring is close but we are still feeling the chill here in Adelaide. Especially chilly in Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills last night, but we were kept warm in the beautiful Three Brothers Arms Hotel Front Bar. I supported Matt Ward and his band The Rising Sons as he is touring his new single 'Annabelle'. What a great night with a great crowd of people.
I am excited to announce that I will be launching a new three track EP 'Taking It Well' November 1st and have started distributing to radio already. I have uploaded one track from the EP 'I Will Follow You' onto N1M and will load the other two during the month of September for your listening enjoyment. These tracks will only be available for purchase on the official release date.
Have a great day

We're finally getting some long awaited rain here in SA, adding a bit of moisture to the cold weather. But later this month one of our great venues Fowler's Live will be on fire.
NETGIGS are planning a exposè of bands and solo artists which they are filming and taking to Big Sound [Australia's biggest music conference]. The great thing is YOU CAN BE THERE as an audience member or watch it online from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD [or both] for only $10AU.
A fantastic lineup of Independent SA Artists - you can't miss this!!
