Define your genre in five words or less:
Singer/songwriter.
what do you reckon people would say you sound like?
It shifts and changes quite a bit. The new album was written mostly while I was based in the US and is definitely influenced by Americana. I was listening to heaps of Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and The Band. You’ll hear plenty of that stuff.
What do you love about making music?
Writing songs.
What do you hate about the music industry?
I’ve spent the last few years distancing myself from the music industry after being on a major label. In fact, I’d forgotten it existed at all. Thanks for reminding me.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Emmylou Harris in the mid-70s. She was (and still is) gorgeous.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
My previous album, Farewell Youth. The new one is out in September.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Pantera. Because I know how to shred.
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc.?
My new album, NightWalk, is out on Monday September 1. I’ll be touring around for its release in September/October.
When’s the gig and with who?
The Melbourne Folk Club, Bella Union, on Wednesday June 11 with Anika Moa and Tim Guy.
