Ladies and Gentlmen,

It is my pleasure to present to you my first full length album –

‘Set in Stone’

(releasing on 18th October)

Set in Stone Album Coverartwork by Sarah Eddowes (2014)

A couple of Wednesdays ago, I got the record mastered by Rick O’Neil at Turtlerock Mastering.

Getting the record Mastered

So now I can safely say that we are on track for a launch on the 18th of October. I have ‘Hibernian House‘ in Surry Hills booked as the venue. There is also a tour locked in – Plenty of big announcements still to come. Expect a blog post and facebook/website event in the next day or so.

 

Finally, for all of those that pre-ordered the digital version of Set in Stone via my SUCCESSFUL POZIBLE CAMPAIGN (THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU), expect a link in your email in the next few days. Other rewards will be gradually fulfilled in the next couple of weeks.

 

– Speak soon.

Greetings,
Now that I’m at the 50% mark of my Pozible Campaign, it’s time for another big update.

Here’s a video:

If you decided against the video, allow me to fill you in…

 

New Tracks

I’ve just put out another 2 songs from the album. This makes a total of 4 songs now available for your listening pleasure. There is currently a whole new EP’s worth of music to listen to months before an official album release!

About the tracks:

Bill’s Lost Love – A dreamy, folk song with lush instrumentation and a driving narrative. This one is getting animated into a music video

Dead Man Walking – A raw, Americana style song set in the mind of a man on death row.

Freeride Train Blues – A slow-driving acoustic blues featuring banjo, upright bass and dobro.

Set in Stone (feat. Alison Avron) – A duet about new love, featuring the wonderful talents of Alison Avron. And also violin, cello, piano. Here’s a link to Alison Avron’s website.


 

New Pozible Reward

Against my better judgement, I’ve decided to add a reward to this campaign which has the potential to end me. For $40, I’m giving people the opportunity to request any song they like. Anything. I will then learn that song, record it for youtube, and dedicate it to you at the beginning of the video. As I said, I’m willing to learn any song. This is a golden opportunity at an extremely fair price. Go to the page and scroll down the right column until you see the reward. OK GO.

 

 A Name for the Album

I’ve officially decided on a name for my debut album. It’s called… drum roll……. ‘Set in Stone‘. Named after one of the tracks that I’ve put out today, I chose it because the title simply fit. This album was always going to be called ‘Set  in Stone’, I just didn’t know it yet.

 

::::TLDR::::

** New Music! There are now officially 4 songs up and listenable for this album.
** New $40 reward where you can request ANY song and I’ll learn it, record it, dedicate to you on Youtube.
** The album is now called ‘Set in Stone’.


Finally, Thank You to everyone that has supported this project so far! If you haven’t yet and intend on doing so, don’t delay! …And tell your friends! With your support, we can reach this goal.

Help me reach my Pozible Campaign target and pledge!

Ladies and Gentlemen… As promised, here it is: The official release of my first two singles from my Debut Album. That’s right, I’m throwing the definition of ‘single as one’ out the window.

The following tracks can begin to give you some idea about the contrast in sound and style that I’ve gone for with this album. Both follow some sort of narrative but take a different approach in doing so. I’ve still gone for the lush side of instrumentation and texture but given my voice a bit more of a shining role – in comparison to my EP.

You’ve probably already heard an acoustic version of Dead Man Walking on my Pozible Campaign video. Here is the full quality, studio version.

The track ‘Bill’s Lost Love’ is also the one that is currently having an animated music video produced for it by Sydney Animator – Sarah Eddowes. If you like what you hear below, I will be sending out an exclusive download link for my track ‘Bill’s Lost Love’ via the Mailing List. If you want in, sign up to the right. >>>>>>>

Listen. Enjoy. Share. Pledge.
