Slowly moving out of lockdown here in Melbourne and very excited to say I have a brand new double album. Yes that’s right DOUBLE ALBUM!!!! ... ~ ‘Song Gifts’ with ‘Evil’ Graham Lee & Shane O’Mara ~
All the songs were written and recorded in lockdown, separated by distance and a virus, relying on email and home studio finessing and tweaking. Most were presents for a loved one ~ deeply personal, light hearted, happy~sad, funny and in most cases a joy to write.
I’m really pleased with how it’s all come together given such an unusual time in our history.
There’s something for everyone as they say ~ those reminiscing of days past, the love for those closest to them, searching for the meaning of it all, the hopeful, the hopeless, love lost and love found, snow falling gently, the harsh and blinding heat, the outback, the internal, balloons and arrows...
The first track off the ‘Song Gifts’ album ‘Michelle Cannane’ can be heard here ~ an ode to Sydney, a seemingly lost music scene, recollections of a time, venues, bands and misspent youth.
