My unintentional quest to become Australia’s answer to Michael McDonald is well under way. Muchas Gracias Ruta 66 – Tiempos de Rock & Roll for the article and for Team Smooth Sailing Yacht Rock Party for letting me on the boat. Spain tour begins this Sunday, 21st in Barcelona. It’s been 9 long years. Can’t wait to play for you all!

New Album News – Subject to Change
NEW ALBUM
Happy to reveal that Rock Indiana have released what is now my 8th solo album – ‘Subject to Change’ [CD/ Digital] !This album is a compilation of all the music I have released from 2020 to now, including my current single ‘Is there anybody there?’. Despite the weirdness of the last few years, I’ve been lucky enough to still be able to work with brilliant producers like Josh Schuberth – Producer, Mixer, Instrumentalist , Josh Pyke , Wade Jackson , Michael Carpenter – Record Producer & Tim Kevin on these tunes. That was my escape from it all. CD will be available at all my Spanish tour shows, on the Rock Indiana Website and my Bandcamp store in May.

All the bells and whistles – Now on Vinyl!
Here is the great Pablo Carrero, founder of legendary record label Rock Indiana Records, holding the very first vinyl pressing of my debut album – ‘All the bells and whistles’ (2006). This picture is special to me as this man and this record, literally changed the course of my music ‘career’, especially outside of Australia. Extremely grateful.

* I will be taking copies of the record back with me to Australia.

New Single Incoming!
Been hard keeping this (mostly) under wraps, so here it is. My new single -‘Is there anybody there?’, will see the light of day on the 22nd March 2024!
Thrilled to have Melita, one of the most gifted artists I have had the pleasure of working with, feature on this song. She’s a dead set star! An added bonus is having her brother, Alex Ertler, pour so much of his magic onto this track as well. Family musical genes are strong folks.
This is the special kind of collaboration I’ve been waiting to land in my arms for years. I’m incredibly excited for you all to hear this.
PS Mel also has a new killer single coming out next week. Visit her socials for more info!
