I’ve had a busy week at the post office and have also been distributing the new album around Melbourne. It’s now available at Greville Records, Rocksteady, Basement Discs and Readings in Carlton, if you’re keen ~ in Sydney at Redeye, Perth at Dada and Diabolik Records. Any other suggestions welcome.

“Michelle Cannane” the opening track from the album miraculously ended up at No.9 on the AMRAP charts for community radio and the album landed at No.8 on Vinny Ramone’s 2SER radio show The Outpost Top Ten albums of 2020, sandwiched between Bob Dylan and Jason Isbell ~ thanks Vinny, nice company I’m keeping.

The streaming show at Merri Creek has been cancelled due to Covid restrictions easing. Next live shows are in January / February ~ we may as well call them album launches as the concept given Covid restrictions has been a little disrupted.

Sat Jan 23 ~ Memo Music Hall, St Kilda [M e l b o u r n e] with ‘Evil’ Graham Lee & Shane O’Mara ~ tickets 🎫 here

Fri Feb 26 & Sat Feb 27 ~ Django @ Camelot, Marrickville [S y d n e y] + the brilliant Peter Milton Walsh [The Apartments] ~ tickets 🎫 here

I’ve put together a video for the song “Searching for the Heart of it All”. The song was written after the images were sent to me by Ross Gibson, the prose is from Ross also. He asked if a little film might go off in my head, well a song unfolded instead.

Here’s a snippet of “Michelle Cannane” featuring my much neglected vinyl collection strewn across the living room floor. I’m sure a lot of folk will recognise quite a few of these records from back in the day.

Thanks to all who requested a Song Gift, who received a song, shared all manner of intimate details, made me laugh and cry, kept me busy through lockdown and helped to make this double CD 💿 💿 with ‘Evil’ Graham Lee & Shane O’Mara possible ~
