It’s the Music, that brings us together to celebrate truth without boundaries, freedom to be yourself and bare your soul, to channel emotions, to form a connection and a common thread that creates an outlet with a remedy!
What a thrill for us to go back into the studio to record 3 new tracks that feature alongside our favourite songs from ‘Big Love’ album & ‘Ricochet’ EP. From the early days, the seed was planted and drew inspiration from its deep Tasmanian roots. Today, the tree stands tall! We’ve travelled so far on this journey. What a beautiful ride, playing incredible live shows, making great albums and honing in on our skills with our wonderful band family. What a blessing to see how we’ve grown and evolved.
Music is a gift that resonates on a higher vibration, inspired by freedom of expression, a sense of community, a cause for celebration, the need to love and connect and to reflect on human behaviour with the right to hope. Love & Thanks to everyone involved in the making of this album. ‘All the Best’
