For me, making music is mostly a solitary thing. I sing, write songs and play my guitar alone in the comfort of my home (sometimes to the annoyance of my children) because it’s what I love and need to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

But this tour of Spain was a huge reminder to me that music is most impactful when it’s a shared experience. I think it brings out the best in us, sometimes without us knowing it. I saw that through every person who helped behind the scenes, organised/promoted the shows, and of course, the good folks/friends that attended. Spanish music fans are remarkable. The joy, passion & kindness they give to my songs, band, and I is unparalleled. It still blows my mind after all these years! I’m beyond grateful.

Lastly, I want to pay tribute to my Spanish hermanos Pablo, Santi, Jon, Javi & Luque. Thank you for the deep respect you give to the music, your incredible musicianship, and your friendship. Gees we played great, ate well and had a lotta laughs on this tour. Even if it took me an extra minute to translate the punchline! Estoy tan feliz ahora mismo. Muchas gracias por esta experiencia y los increíble recuerdos.

I’ll be back España.

🎶💿 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.

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.

This limited edition record will be available at all my Spanish tour shows and on the Rock Indiana Records website store.

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

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!

⚠️ New Music News ⚠️

Excited to announce that I’m sneaking in a new single before we say goodbye to 2023! Song: ‘That was the day’ – written by Daniel Wylie (Cosmic Rough Riders) and Produced by Michael Carpenter – Record Producer . Two greats in my mind.

Release Date: 8th December 2023 via Lilystars Records . Available on all your friendly digital platforms and to buy on Bandcamp.

This will also be part of the 30th Anniversary compilation of legendary Spanish indie label – Rock Indiana Records. Huge Milestone for this label that took a gamble on this little known songwriter 17 years ago!
