ABOUT

I’m an experience singer-songwriter and performer of 25+ years. Have toured nationally, received national radio airplay, publishing deal, recorded/released six albums, including my last record in 2018 which I recorded in Nashville with Brad Jones (locally he’s recorded Missy Higgins, Bob Evans, Melody Pool, etc).
Since COVID hit I stopped playing original music and started playing in cover bands…but I’d like to start playing originals again. I don’t really have a desire to do heaps of gigs…mainly looking for like-minded people who I can get along with, and who complement each other musically, to get a bunch of songs together with an eye to recording next year (2024). I’ve got a load of songs written but I’m happy to join in co-writing. Similarly happy to share singing duties. I miss being in a ‘band’ band: where everyone influences the song that’s brought to the band with their own skills and musicianship.
Of the videos I’ve linked to on my profile page (spanning 25 years), they are:
1. Bobby Fischer - Lazy Susan (I wrote and sung this, is with my first major band, Lazy Susan)
2. Shanie Love - Family Fold (first single/video from my first solo record in 2015)
3. Get a Grip Upon Yourself - Family Fold (second single/video)
4. Crying in the Carwash - Family Fold (first single from my second solo album, recorded in Nashville with Brad Jones in 2017, released in 2018)
5. Molly Meldrum’s Eyes - Family Fold (second single/video from second solo record)
6. Bob Dylan - Hurricane (this is me singing in one of the cover bands I’ve been playing in recently if you want to listen to how I sound live)

Influences

Endless list of musical loves. But I guess my songwriting leans to the lyrical guitar pop: Elvis Costello, Squeeze, XTC, Wilco (in their less obtuse moments), Big Star, Pretenders, Richard and Linda Thompson, etc, etc…
