I spent most of 2014 recording and mixing my new album with the extraordinary Tony Dupé at his home studio, the Abandoned Fireworks Factory - an old parish hall situated in Korumburra. It was a beautiful collaboration that was seasoned with warm home-cooked meals and late night carousals. Tony was extremely patient with me - considering my unrelenting perfectionism - and put his heart and soul into this record, spending innumerable hours crafting each song.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Tony and all the friends that contributed along the way to help bring this record to fruition...and I can't wait for you to hear it!

The Challenges
Being a solo artist in this day and age is extremely expensive. My only obstacle to getting this album out and into your hands is money for the manufacturing and printing. If you're a fan of my work, all you have to do is pre-order your copy. If I don't manage to meet my target, I might need to post-pone this release.
