Haven’t been to the @thetowniegigs in ages. Good Haven’t been to the @thetowniegigs in ages. Good to be back.
Devastated to announce that I won’t be able to m Devastated to announce that I won’t be able to make tonight’s gig at @themidnightspecial .. I’m sick ONCE AGAIN. Voice is all but gone. I can’t help but to feel that COVID has messed with my immune system. Send me your pity… 😓 In more positive news, the gig will still be happening. @marvelloushearts will be kicking off some tunes from 8pm. Head along and support live original music! @motherhentouring
Gig alert! If you follow me and my musical moveme Gig alert! If you follow me and my musical movements, you’ll know that originals gigs are sparse these days. Here’s one of note - next Wednesday. Sharing a bill with the legendary @marvelloushearts … I would also love to catch up with folks that I haven’t seen since pre-pandemic… xx @motherhentouring #livemusicsydney @themidnightspecial #midnightspecial #humpday #whatsonsydney

YouTube Video UCIlZ4NZ2uLsMCUihW9N4ipg_IYf1rB2OG5I ::: Paul Kelly - They Thought I Was Asleep cover ::: There wouldn't be too many who would disagree when I suggest that Paul Kelly might be the greatest (and most prolific) Australian songwriter that we're yet to see. The size and quality of his body of work speaks for itself. They Thought I Was Asleep isn't his most famous song but I think that it might be my favourite. There is something incredibly haunting about it. It cuts me with a deep kind of sadness. I don't know why, but I want everything to turn out alright for the young narrator. To me, this indicates something incredibly special about the song. I aimed to release this video midweek like usual, but I couldn't get it done. There was too much that I wanted to add and try out. I wanted to do this song justice through reinterpretation, rather than imitation. I'm happy with the way that it turned out. Let me know if you agree.

::: Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done cover ::: I am a massive fan of Neil Young. My entire picking/strumming technique on acoustic guitar has evolved based on hours upon hours of playing his music. There are also few songwriters that have impacted me on a similar deep level. With all of this in mind, it was difficult to choose a song to post as my first Neil Young cover. I ended up going with a track which was well loved but not over-done (IMO) - One of the many classics from Harvest. And potentially the heaviest... The Needle and the Damage Done.

::: Bruce Springsteen - Atlantic City cover ::: I was late to the Bruce Springsteen party. I didn't really grow up around his music and it took me a while to find my way there. Once I did start to make my way through his enormous back catalogue (still barely scraped the surface), I realised how much musical nutrition I had been missing out on. THE SONGS! What an incredible writer. I mean, I could go on about his qualities as an entertainer and more... but the writing is what really blows me away. This track - Atlantic City - is from my personal favourite Springsteen record, Nebraska. The original track was never intended to be released as a final master, which means that there is a ton of room to add/change things. This could be one of the reasons why it has been covered so much... Still, I've made my attempt with the hope that I can bring something new to the table. If you dig it, as always, please let me know in the comments below.

::: Death Cab For Cutie - Title and Registration cover ::: For me, covering this song was kind of like ticking off a goal from my musical bucket list. I first heard this track in the midst of my teens on a friend's MIX-CD, which he'd received from one of his mates who lived in the USA (I'm Aussie btw). To be honest, I didn't like the song at first. But it really, really grew on me. Then I heard Transatlanticism. Holy Moley... What an album. Death Cab For Cutie opened my ears (and mind) up to a huge range of other artists that I would never have otherwise discovered. For this, I'm grateful. Note: Before starting on this song, I couldn't find any versions on YouTube that tried to accurately remake the studio version. There are a few live versions floating around and Ben Gibbard does a solo version with a different chord progression. Hoping that mine does this song justice. Let me in the comments below.
