Making connections ...

Lots of good stuff happening behind the scenes.  Banshees hosted two Music Industry Development sessions, facilitated by our local Council in conjunction with QMusic.  I was on night-shift for both of those but Rebecca went along in March and again in April.  She enjoyed all the presentations, took notes to share with me - and chatted to a few local artists.  (I've since joined QMusic, though was already on their mailing list as I attended one of their songwriting events last year). Quite a lot went on in April!  We both went to the APRA/AMCOS "Made by Music" event, held at The Triffid on a Saturday morning (with beautiful brunch catering).  I've been to a few of these but it was a first for Rebecca.  There was some excellent info presented, so we had lots to talk about afterwards - and some things to follow up on.   Our local library put on a Rhyme, Rhythm and Reason session, "a celebration of spoken word, songwriting and lyricism".  Th...

Songwriters Showcase ...

Image
Just got back from Toowoomba after a lovely weekend centred around the Songwriters Showcase, which was held at the Cafe Guitar on Saturday afternoon.  Nine participating songwriters were on the whiteboard including the organiser, Peter Campbell.  I played "Breathe, Miss Sunshine" and "The Decision" (not yet released). I chose the second song based on the Country flavour of the event, as that song has an Australian Country Feel.  I was surprised how nervous I was, playing my own tunes, but I got through the performance with minimal chords misplaced and notes flattened. I collected another facebook friend and there was some positive feedback. Overall it was a successful first outing.  Most likely my next adventure will be the online Trimstone event in just over two weeks. I have been advised they would like four songs (if I pick the two short songs I played them), which sounds good to me.  I have no plans to go further with live performances. There are a few open ...

Places to go!

Image
July has been very busy. I released two songs.  One was a rewrite of "She Calls Me Back" (previously titled "The Mountain"). The other was one that needed serious remix/mastering, which is now titled "Got No Place To Go".  (It was previously "No Place to Go").  I am very happy with both results. It's so liberating when you see clearly that you don’t need to follow the industry conventions. As an independent artist I'm not bound by any recording company regulations. Along with those two releases, I continued participating in the "I heart Songwriting Club" and I'm writing furiously again. On top of that I've had a week of birthday celebration with various trips to enhance those celebrations.  I’m still following on with my live performances. Still focussing on my local Banshees and I also did some songs at The Junk Bar.  I'm looking forward to an extended holiday through September and October so August preparations wi...
