Support Act

on By

Hi Friends,

Many musicians, artists and those part of the Music/Arts Industry have been heavily affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. Countless jobs has been lost and the subsequent loss of a steady income for many in this industry is an extremely difficult and stressful situation to suddenly be facing.

I am throwing my support towards my mates and colleagues in the Music industry by getting behind Support Act and it’s fundraising drive. Money raised from this charity will go towards supporting those in our industry who need assistance during these times.

I have added the original vinyl test pressings of ‘Sometimes I Just Don’t Know’ (2 copies) & ‘Heart vs Mind’ (1 copy) to sell on my Bandcamp store. 100% of proceeds from these sales will go to Support Act and it’s fundraising drive.

LINKS TO BUY:
Sometimes I Just Don’t Know – Test Press
Heart Vs Mind – Test Press

I also did a FB Live concert from my house last week to try and raise awareness for this cause. Link below if you would like to watch. That was a whole lot of fun.

Thanks in advance for getting behind this friends. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Japan Show – 2020!

I’m thrilled to reveal that I’ll be visiting and playing a solo show in Japan for the first time on the 18th Jan, 2020! Excited to play in Tokyo at Shimokitaza Half along with my great friend and brilliant artist – Dragonfly Collector (Clem Castro of Orange & Lemons).

Would love for you to spread the news to any of your Japanese based friends. More news to come in the coming weeks. Can’t think of a better way to kick off a brand new year.

Arigatōgozaimashita!

Live @ Butchers Brew Bar

Last full band show for 2019 and having our first run at another of Sydney’s great little bars – Butchers Brew Bar in Dulwich Hill, on Saturday, 7th December.

Extra excited at it’s a co-headline with my old chum/all round legend – Sam Shinazzi. Opening the night will be a fantastic local troubadour, Chris Carrapetta. Will be a fine way to wrap up the year.

BUY/STREAM:
Bandcamp
Spotify
iTunes
Apple Music
Rock Indiana (CD – Europe)

I would love to hear what you think of the record and would equally love for you to help spread the word about the album by sharing it to all the socials and posting up pics of your Vinyl or CD copies.

A quick thank you to this lot who were a massive part of the making of this record: Russell Crawford, Brian Crouch, Dave Hatt, Dave Keys, Josh Schuberth, Peta Caswell, Chris Familton, Clem Castro/Lilystars Records, Pablo Carrero/Rock Indiana & Michael Carpenter. None of this would be possible without these exceptional friends of mine.

Finally a thank you to YOU for buying, listening and sharing this new record. I’ve been humbled by the great reception I have received so far from you folks. I’m awfully proud of it and hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it.

See you at a show!

“A beautifully sentimental and polished outing with its engrossing melodic wanderings and subtle power-pop soarings à la Elvis Costello and The Jayhawks” – Tiana Speter (The Soundcheck)
