Sleeping Spirits

A Preview Mix, Gig Reflections and Travel Plans

on 18 October 201318 October 2013

It’s always tricky writing a catch-up post after leaving it so long without any updates on this page. This must be mostly due to the pressure that I put on myself to include absolutely everything. Writing now, I have surrendered to the prospect that I will indeed miss out on a thing or two. But that’s OK! Also, apologies for the politically charged post that has remained on my front page for such a long period now. I think I’ve gotten my stance on that area clear enough now. Anyway… less waffle, more news.

In a sort of proof of life effort (you can call me George Clooney), I’ve posted up a preview mix of one of the tracks that will feature on my upcoming Debut Album (expect it early next year). It’s called Sleeping Spirits and you can listen to it via my Soundcloud:

 

In the past month and a bit, I’ve also played a whole bunch of shows. Two of these stood out to me when I booked them, and are worth a bit of a reflection.

Proper Music Social @ the Union Hotel (headliner) on 26th September – Played as a 4 piece band in the first show with drummer Tim Parsons. What a great gig. The current lineup of guys playing with me all know the songs pretty well and the sound is meshing really well. I’ll be sure to book some more band gigs in over the new year.

Folk Informal @ FBi Social on 17th October – My first time playing at this wonderful space. Performed as a solo act in a slightly shorter set than usual. It was really nice. Good environment to really sing out my lyrics and get some of my story songs across. Also a really great lineup on the night. The other artists were:
* Brendon Moon (sorry Brendon, couldn’t find a link)
* All Our Ex’s Live in Texas
* Lily So & the Bellows

Here’s a gallery that I’ve just put up with pics from the gig:

 

In a couple of weeks, I’ll be finishing up with my University degree! This means that I’ll be a full fledged High School Music Teacher which will be a perfect compliment for my career as a poor original singer/songwriter. It’s possible to have 2 careers at the same time, right? Of course it is.

To celebrate this, I’m heading off to the United States of America with my girlfriend for 5-6 weeks. There’ll be a few gigs along the way with a majority of our time spent in locations such as NYC, Nashville, New Orleans, Memphis and Chicago. As expected, I’m REALLY excited. 🙂

That’s all for now…

 

Speak soon.
