Hey folks, thanks for dropping by.
Its been a great year of shows so far and I'm currently spending some time in the studio with award winning producer Matt Fell for an upcoming release. Very exciting…
I will be releasing my new single “Devil In The Company Car” Friday 19th April. Please keep an eye for it on my socials, youtube channel and your favorite streaming provider!
I have also been busy producing a Podcast - Say It With Guitars - where I sit down and chat with some of Australia's finest guitar pickers, songwriters, producers, collectors and makers.
Join us for some in depth conversations that dig beneath the surface and crack into the lives and minds of these wonderful creatives.
