I have finally finished my first solo album, The Curling Vine!
It's a collection of very personal songs, and it was lovingly crafted in the beautiful Blue Mountains with John Stuart, of Sound Heaven Studio.
It's a lush piece of work, featuring arrangements for some of the most respected musicians from the Sydney scene-my wonderful friends!!! These include Lloyd Swanton (bass), don't look so surprised to be posted online Lloyd...
Jess Ciampa (drums and percussion),
John E (guitars),
Veronique Serret (violin), Anthea Cottee (cello), Ewan Foster (viola), here seen haggling over up vs down bows...
...and Tim Crow (flugal horn), Anne Edwards (accordion), Rachel Hannan (backing vocals), Gene Gill (drums)- of whom I don't seem to have pictures...with myself on lead vocal and piano.
Oh wait-here's one of me taken a bit later...
The Curling Vine is a record that will speak to people from 10 to 100-it's straight from the heart and comes after many years honing my craft as a composer and singer/songwriter. Musically, it straddles a world where Radiohead meets 70's soul. I'm pretty proud of it and I hope you like it too :+)
The wonderful Michael Lynch, who mastered it, gave it the thumbs up!!

How The Funds Will Be Used
The record is done, mastered and ready to go!
But here's the catch...money has dried up before the artwork and manufacturing got done!
I am seeing this as a blessing in disguise and a great opportunity to ask interested listeners to buy their album by making a pledge towards the final costs. This way, the record gets finished and distributed at the same time!!!
Here's a basic breakdown of the costs I need to cover:
manufacturing: $1340
artwork: $660
