Excited to unveil my brand new single ‘I’m not ready for this’! This is another taste from my upcoming album ‘Sometimes I just don’t know’ (2019 – More details to come).
‘I’m not ready for this’ features my handsome band mates Russell Crawford (Drums/Vox), Brian Crouch (Keys), Dave Hatt (Guitar), Dave Keys (Bass) and once again co-produced by Josh Schuberth at his wonderful recording space – Endomusia Studios.
Help us share the word on this tune my friends. We’ll be most grateful!

Looking Back – 2017

Coming towards the end of 2017 and it’s got me thinking how my output this year has been a bit sparse and inconsistent. But it definitely did have some highlights.
1. Touring my birth country, The Philippines with Asian indie legends The Camerawalls. Amazing experience and exceeded all my expectations. Thanks Clem, Law, Bach, Venj & Antonette especially.
2. Playing with my Tempe Two mates in Dave Keys & Russell Crawford. Though we hardly play together, it always feels just right when we do. Our last gig at Staves Brewery is a prime example of this. Check out the video below.
3. Reuniting with Michael Carpenter – Record Producer after a decade and recording my last single ‘Rattled and Rolled’. Always a pleasure working with this juggernaut. And I think the song goes alright too!

4. Having an unexpected reunion with my old band The Hazeys. It’s been brilliant so far. Big things for 2018 planned – Look out!
5. Singing Tom Petty tunes with some of Sydney’s finest. TP’s loss was a blow but this event went a long way to ease some of the pain.
So that’s it for the year. Thanks for all those who supported my music in one way or another. Always grateful. Here’s to a great 2018 for the lot of us!
Cheers,
Bryan
Salamat Philippines
Been a few days now since I’ve been home from the Philippines Tour and I’m still on a high. What an experience! Really had no idea what I was in for and boy did it give out the goodies in spades. Thanks a million to my tour mates, the amazing ‘The Camerawalls’, Tonette Maniquis, all the venues and promoters and to my family, friends and fans who came to the shows.

‘Every Little Thing’ – Philippine Tour 2017
I am beyond thrilled to announce my 1st ever tour of my motherland – The Philippines, starting on the 15th March, 2017.
This homecoming tour will see me play a couple of shows to promote my current record ‘Every Little Thing’ and songs from my back catalog of 5 solo albums.
I will have the honour of having in my touring band the members of legendary Asian Indie band The Camerawalls, in Clem Castro, Venj Gatmaitan, Law Santiago & Bach Rudica. I also get to be a part of their massive event The Camerawalls: Above The Weather which will kick off the tour in a huge way.
I was born in The Philippines and have been away for 30 years. But this country is still a very big part of who I am and my unshakable roots.
So, I really hope to see you at one of the shows and excited to meet a whole lot of new friends along the way.
Salamat,
Bryan

Adios 2016
Signing off on 2016 a tad early. This year has been superb making music with The Tempe Two (Russell Crawford & Dave Keys) & my other muso mates who joined us at various times. Not a dull R&R moment was had.
My highlight has definitely been releasing ‘Every Little Thing’ (have you seen the ‘making of’ video below?!) and getting to play the tunes live. Your support for the record is very much appreciated. Grateful is an understatement.
So there’s some big things planned for next year. One in particular that’s very close to my heart, which I’ll give more info about shortly. It’s gonna be a good year 2017.
See you all soon in the flesh or on your social media screens. Look out for each other ok?…
Bryan
