Excited to be putting on this Mess Esque (AUS) show next week with Home Alone and Strange News Touring friends. Will also be doing a joint Timothy Blackman and Tessa de Lyon set to open things up, performing news songs.
Has been fun doing shows with new songs through parts of 2022 and 2023. I play electric guitar these days, which has been a exciting change. Hope to do more of this in 2024!
This photo was taken (thanks to Ben @ therevue.ca) from the final show I did (with Brooke Singer on keys/backing vocals) last year before New Zealand went into lockdown for Covid (7 March 2020), supporting Hand Habits at a small house venue/space in Wellington. I look forward to getting back in to performing again soon.
Since then I have been working on some new songs with Kate Uhe from City Oh Sigh, put down some violin on the new Lake South album (to be released later this year) and have been playing violin/doing backing vocals for another local band, which has all been super fun.
Will post upcoming shows (on the shows page above) and also information on recording, hopefully not too far from now.
My new album ‘Brightest Days’ is now out on Home Alone Music. Thanks so much to my friends for helping me make this, especially Brooke Singer (of French for Rabbits) who recorded, mixed and performed (and sung) on the record. Lucy Botting (of Girlboss) also did some great vocals and Al Green (of Groni) mastered it. Super appreciate. I could not have done this on my own.
Lil video taken from my first show back at the Dome in Gisborne (July 2017) opening for Home Alone friends Grawlixes! Thanks to Jay Papworth for the shot!!
My next show (third show back) is in a tiny space supporting French for Rabbits (with Finn Johansson). Really excited to be back and performing.
My new album (first new full length in 7 years) is now recorded. Just working on mixing etc at the moe. Will give more of an update in a couple of months!
Doing my first Wellington show since 2013. Will be performing only new songs from the album I have been recording with Brooke Singer this summer! It’s quite exciting to come back to this thing I love doing after so long away..
Home Alone Music class of 2014. Kate (from City Oh Sigh) and Ben (from French for Rabbits) missed the photo, but will def’s make the next one. Promise. Photo taken by travelling Canadian violinist and friend Mika Posen.
