tour dates..

ok. so tour dates have finally been announced. phew! check out the website for details.. sunwrae.com
please subscribe to our mailing list, help spread the word!!

it was a busy week's end on friday gone, licking stamps (how fun you say), stuffing envelopes and organising the distribution of tens of thousands of flyers and posters. i can now happily say that they'll arrive in your letterbox today or tomorrow (not all of them)... and that is, if your name is on our mailing list already!

then it was off to the ballarat acoustic music festival on saturday. and what a lovely festival it was.. a great range of music performed entirely acoustically (how refreshing!) in intimate venues & cute coloured tents at the ballarat observatory. mel robinson and i performed two sets (cello & vibes) for a very attentive audience.

and now it's heads down. music creation time. hoping to post some mp3 snippets here this week if i can work out my recording device... fingers crossed.

and good news...
rabbits without spleens album is finished... finally... 6 years later (i never thought i would take that long to finish something!).
as well as my improv album with eugene skeef! yay! hoping to have both albums pressed for the tour, or at least the melbourne show. we'll see.

10-4.

tour planning...

it's been a busy few weeks here, planning for the next sunwrae tour with the string quintet. i was in brisbane for a couple of days, spruiking sunwrae to queensland venues for a possible 2012 tour, then soaked up some music at golden plains festival in meredith, victoria and since then it's been all go, finalising tour dates, flyer design and marketing materials for publicity and promotion...

i'm playing a show for the ballarat acoustic music festival this saturday (26th march) at the ballarat observatory. i'm on vibes, playing with a wonderful cellist melanie robinson. it's an event for earth hour, so all acoustic performances, with some other fabulous muso's from victoria. hopefully it'll be a clear night so we can gaze at the sky through the telescopes too!

after that, it's all looking very exciting.. it'll be heads down for me to write some tunes, then the tour begins... mid way through, the sunwrae string quintet are jetting off to ho chi minh city to perform for the australian consulate too! of course the preparations are rather frantic, but i have a fabulous assistant kellie jayne chambers working with me to make sure all the logistics are smooth sailing.

more news to come when we officially announce the tour dates.. sunshine to ya'll!
