Generations in Jazz 2013

Last weekend i was lucky enough to be invited back as last year's scholarship winner to perform in Mount Gambier for GIJ 2013. Over the weekend i had a fantastic time, performing with James Morrison, Tim Firth, James Muller, Brett Hirst and Kevin Hunt! It was estimated that the opening concert was attended by over 4000 people! Below is a snippet from the performance!

To see some video from the weekend head to the new Video section on the site!

NYC Debut!

Having been travelling around the US for the last month, i have arrived back in NYC.

It was an amazing priveledge and pleasure to be invited up to sing at the Lincoln Centre's Dizzys Jazz Club on thursday night!

Perhaps even more exciting was being asked to sing again two nights later, with an unbelievably swinging band that included two drummers (bryan Carter and Joe Saylor) and Jon Batiste! What an honour to sing with these guys!

Will be posting more info on my NYC travels here soon!

Supporting Renee Geyer @ the Abbey

Had a fantastic time supporting Renee Geyer at Canberra's newest venue The Abbey in Gold Creek. The venue is really incredible,
with a great atmosphere and fantastic PA!!! Renee's band were absolutely smoking and it was great to see Phil Rex,
Hamish Stuart play! Can't wait to get back to the Abbey!

San Diego Serenade - San Diego Serenade - Rough Mix

Here is a rough mix (done by myself) from my debut album

I have not included all the mics and drum mics in this so the mix is very raw, but hopefully you will get the idea!

Final mixing will be over two days up in Sydney in late August, but until then....
