Upbeat about The Casey Beat!

Breathe, Miss Sunshine was played on The Casey Beat tonight! 

It's been a huge week on many levels and this airplay was the icing on the cake - so excited!

Even better, the producer has sent a message to advise another of my songs is loaded for next week!

Special appreciation to Nammo for permission to use this cover shot.  Have a look at her wonderful work on Flickr!

July wrap-up!

July. What a great month. There’s been more photos, more videos, more comments and more live music!  The month kicked off with a couple of open mics around Brisbane. I decided to try and perform at these limited sets at least once a week. I ended up doing two sets a week - or nine shows through July. Lots of cheering, clapping and encouraging responses.  I've developed a new perspective on performing. I'm sticking with the songs I really like and am familiar with.  (Even though I write the songs, some fade a bit over time).  The latest song "You Draw Blood" is a crowd favourite.  I just need to get the production finished and release it officially.  My new business card has been a great addition. Folks at the shows are keen on the photo update and the QR code on the back, which links directly to this website/blog.  I finally subscribed to 4ZZZ radio after doing a tour through the station and meeting a few of the staff and DJs. The whole place felt more like a communit

Open sessions ...

  Half-way through the year already!  I finished June by going to a couple of open mic nights to play my songs. (Rebecca came along to chronicle my adventures). My main motivation for attending open mic events is to get reactions to how I’m performing - as well as responses to the songs themselves.   We arrived at Archive Boutique Brewery in West Side Brisbane on a Monday night. I played five songs and the crowd warmed to the more intense feel of the performance.  In the same week, we went to Stones Corner Hotel on Wednesday night.  I played three songs I'd played at Archive and I got the same enthusiastic reception. Stones Corner had a better feel as there were a lot more performers and larger crowd. Even though I played there at 10:00pm, there was still a decent crowd clapping and cheering.   It was great to get good comments from the next act to come up - and the crowd as I made my way back to our table.  I'm quite familiar with the songs I played, so I can really let go

Merch-ing along!

What an awesome month!  It began with a full set at the Victory Hotel, as part of the Brisbane Solo Performer Comp. The month held lots of open mics - and a full show! I was included in Banshee's Live and Local October concert as a paid artist! I played with two bands - Unsound Advice and Northern Lights. The three of us fit together so well and it was a great night with lots of interactions and new friends.  I even got to wear my own merch! Each of my 34 releases have been made under my Bandit Dogs Records label - so that was our starting point for merch. We commissioned a friend to produce some artwork and he did great work!  At this stage there are only stickers available via this site but who knows what else might happen!  I was recently talking with a producer in UK and he asked for one of my songs, as a project. After a listen he was keen to re-produce the song in a couple of ways and see how it came out. He was inspired to do all the work cos he liked the song so much
