Looking foward to playing at the community fundraising concert at Dandenong Ranges Steiner School, Saturday 24th August.

5pm-9pm, featuring local acapella group Persephone, Tao Bak & Friends, Melchior Martin & The Ruminators & the up and coming exciting young band BOTH.

Looking foward to Julian Smith joining for some of my set also!

Event Details:

Come join us for a fundraising night featuring BOTH and friends: Persephone, Tao Bak and Friends and Melchior Martin and The Ruminators.

You can purchase your tickets here:

Can’t attend on the night and still want to contribute?
You can purchase a ‘Non attending supporter’ ticket for $10.

Taking inspiration from the environment, people and tunes around them, BOTH’s sound is an eclectic mix of the Aussie Surf Rock sound, infused with elements of Hip Hop and RnB, nostalgic storytelling, smooth drums and rich vocals.

We will be serving Chai, and light snacks that can be purchased on the night.

Try your luck in the raffles, or brush off those dancing shoes ready to hit the dance floor.

Under 18s welcome with accompanying adult.

The night will be held in the Dandenong Ranges Steiner School Hall, 11c Duffys Rd Emerald

Proceeds from the event will be donated to Rana and her family to support her through her treatment and impact from the storm damage.

It’s been a while between posts. It was a lot of fun making this video for Home over the past while. Thank you to Ishmael Martin who shot and edited the video.

The Laneway at the Tiny Room, 61-63 Wood St. Donald, Victoria, 3480.

Cost: $20 plus booking fee: All tickets are for dinner-and-show, available here: Eventbrite

Details:

A late summer’s evening. 2 great musicians. A delicious dinner. An intimate setting. A night well spent.

Be a part of a special show that sees these two musicians together on a lineup for the first time ever. They first had musical contact in 1994 in the Melbourne music scene, and are both looking forward to being able to share an intimate evening of heartfelt music with you. Come and join them!

Julian Smith

With a small cluster of releases under his arm since 2018’s debut single “Coming Back To You”, Julian continues to focus on deepening the quality of both his catalogue of songs and his live performances. 

Check out Julian’s debut single “Coming Back To You” here:

Opening for Julian on the night will be Tao Bak.

Tao presents as an old soul with a completely fresh take on the world. His acoustic, folk and rock history lends him a musical perspective that is individual and highly personal. With a music career that spans more than 30 years, and with his feet planted in the significance of the Melbourne music scene, Tao delivers humanity and heart as only he can.

 

What a delightful afternoon yesterday at Earthly Pleasures Cafe. It was great to see so many there, and to play in such a nice environment. I’m looking forward to more gigs like this!
