Two Chic and A Boom - An evening of retribution with Paula Standing and Emily A Smith and one wicked single launch.
About Paula Standing
Life began in Far North Queensland [Australia] for this folkie, but as a classically trained singer. Paula Standing tread the boards in musicals, operettas and choirs. Moving to SA in the mid 90’s, she explored new genres and in 2001, began penning her own songs. But recording only began in 2010 after teaching herself guitar.

I am looking forward to a fabulous month of May and thanks to all the wonderful people out there supporting my music.
Music Talks | Indie Music Blog has featured me in their online mag for all to see https://www.musictalks.xyz/single-post/2018/04/27/Paula-Standing-There-Was-Also-Some-Composing-In-The-Shower
I recently returned from a trip to Melbourne where I attended a songwriting workshop with Allan Caswell, who helped me save a song destined for the tip. I am returning there in May to play at The Drunken Poet and catch up with friends and family. In the meantime, next week I am gigging at our local Metro Hotel and starting a new term of teaching my keen singing students. It is all go at the moment.
I see my songs pop up at the top of the charts, at least in Australia and I like to thank everyone for this honour.

Hello beautiful people,
Last Saturday night I was part of this amazing new online project called Netgigs. You can access three hour shows of live music, interviews and music videos on demand for only $5AU. Most of the shows are bands but this last episode was a fully acoustic job and I was delighted to share the spotlight with up and coming Jack Buchanan and the fabulous Ben McNeil.
The good news is it is now available 24/7 via the link
Hope you can tune in and enjoy!

Stormy Summer Blues04:38
Very excited to be part of a fabulous group of musicians and songwriters who are producing a second show of songs about our own city, Adelaide. We are debuting the new show in the Adelaide Fringe Festival this March. I hope to one day record the two new songs I have written for this show, but in the meantime, have a listen to one track I wrote for the last show.
Stormy Summer Blues is the tale of an Adelaide identity, a brothel owner, famous for standing up for the rights of the working girl, running [unsuccessfully] for Lord Mayor and offering comments to people as she drove past in her pink convertible. But it all came to a soggy end when, following bankruptcy, was evicted from her penthouse overlooking Light Square by no less than Star Force officers [police elite].
Available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and more.. Enjoy!
