My Story Music has pretty much been my whole life. I started out playing in bands as a teenager back in Whyalla and got my first real taste of the industry playing bass in a band called The Urban Guerillas. We worked hard, played a lot of gigs, and even put out a couple of singles. Moving to Sydney in the 80s was a big step. I joined a band called The Cuckoos, and the next few years were a blur of touring, recording, and opening for bands I really looked up to, like Cold Chisel and the Divinyls. Those years on the road taught me so much about performance and what it takes to connect with a room. I’ve always been writing songs, and for a while, I got really into creating for theatre. I had this big idea for a musical called THE ORACLE, which was a huge learning curve but ended up being staged at the Belvoir Street Theatre. It was a different world, but it taught me a lot about storytelling through music. After being in what feels like a dozen different bands over the years – rock bands, folk duos, even a bluegrass group – I realised what I missed most was the simple, honest connection of one voice, one guitar, and a room full of people. So that’s what I’m focusing on now. I play songs that mean something to me – some are mine, some are classics that feel like old friends. It’s a heartfelt and pretty vulnerable thing to do, but it’s real. My hope is that when I play, you feel that too.
