GIG CLUB JUNE/JULY 2017 x

Hey there lovely Internet friends on the other end of the computer.

I have been pondering as I'm currently on the other side of the world playing my own album shows, that Sydney has taken a lot of punches and in reaction been under much scrutiny from public and performers alike about the live scene, how hard it all is etc etc. SO she feels a bit bruised, and in need of a good cuddle, and a good looking after.

And in going through a lot of these thoughts myself I think the solution is of course to get out and get excited about all the amazing S***T thats going on. Complaining will do nothing! 

Because to be frank, as we all should realise by now, Sydney, Australia and NZ host some of the most incredible musicians in the world and we have our own great scenes to nourish and champion. That's how it's done. It's exciting. We have a community full of bad asses.

I am so lucky to call some of these amazing performers my friends. SO long rant short(ish), here's some current and up coming tours that will be INCREDIBLE and I will be there where I can and thought some of you might like to too....

​And I'm sure there's stacks of other great things on too, I'll be keeping my eyes out when I'm back. Or post in the comments if there's something not to be missed???

Lots of love, SB xx

SARAH BLASKO - The Soloist Tour

Ummm, so Blasko is out all soloing it up all over the country with her prophet, mellotron, guitar and a grand piano! This is seriously not to be missed. You get so close to an artist and their world when it is just them and simple instrumentation. It's a side I've been really lucky to see in her formation of of new songs and here's a chance for the public to see that side a bit too. Sydney City Recital Hall is a magical venue and is tonight JUNE 7 and I'm gutted to not be there, if you can, Goooooooooooooooo!

GEORGIA FIELDS & PHIA - Sea And Sky Tour
​- SB supporting Sydney & Melbourne

 And lastly, I'm super excited to be main support for 2 of these shows, Sydney at OAF Gallery July 27 and Melbourne at The Toff Aug 3rd. 
​Love it when artists team up for a good tour, and these two Melbourne lovelies are playing each others songs and bringing other acts on board to support. Will be really beautiful and I know I can't wait to come home and play in Australia.
