Hi Monday. 🙌🏽 start your week with some Coffee , Methadone and Cigarettes? Episode 8 from “My Home”, just out. I’m proudest of this one. It’s been such an honor to learn about an artists process and @johnbutlertrio dove down into the deepest water to bring us this story and that takes great courage. Have a listen on iTunes podcasts or Spotify. (at Nannup, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brd3KWTl3fc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=huzkdo2wa464

So much work has gone into @johnbutlertrio 6th album ‘ Home ‘ And now so much work has gone into making a podcast about making the record appropriately titled - My Home. I’m proud to say first episode is out today on iTunes and other podcast apps. This is now my 2nd podcast series and I’m always looking for ideas and people to work with in the podcast world - so if you like the production and concept - dm me! -Link in bio - pic by @w_i_l_k #australianmadepodcast #newpodcastalert https://www.instagram.com/p/BpgLtMLlJMw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1romfpa4opxdc

I’m taking a moment to mention how grateful I am for my bestie @mamakinpics. This wouldn’t be happening without our 17 years of friendship. The project is actually an extension of the friendship. The idea came about because we where whinging to each other on the phone about how hard it is to be an independent artist, especially a solo one, and then a few moments later the whole plan was made - make a band just the two of us, that wouldn’t compromise our families or health. An honest and sincere body of work that united people in joy in a communal way through singing together wherever people would have us. That was maybe 2 years ago? And here we are today, with profoundly supportive families, mostly healthy ( I just realised I might be gluten intolerant tho 😭 ) managing the band, with an inspiring and powerful team, and choirs we consider family across the world! These nominations from @aria_official wam_musicwa and nlmas18 are the shiny stars you put on the fridge after you’ve cleaned your room and brushed your teeth. Also this wouldn’t be happening without the intense support of my amazing wife @umaspender who has made huge sacrifices and invested enormous amounts of energy too. TIME FOR A BLOODY TEAM ROLL CALL! @vk_stills @abcmusic @katierynne @selectmusic @secretservicepr @_misterlou @starhousecollective @hannahmarjorie @w_i_l_k @claudiasangiorgidalimore @nick_mckk @yes_salmon @iheartsongwritingclub @firstchorusbandofsingers @innerwestvoice @gospocollective @waapagospelchoir (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoyO2W8gdjm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10dhafcfpag74

Good bye Ireland. Good bye lush green land. Good bye beautiful turns of phrase in beautiful Irish accents. Good bye pints or Murphy’s. Goodbye new friends.

If you’d told me about a town called ‘Ballydehob’ before yesterday I would have thought you were talking about a secret sequel to Harry Potter. This was taken from my spot behind the mic crammed in with a 14 piece choir standing BEHIND THE BAR! We played 2 shows, first as full of kids and babies, then later, passionate and amazing listeners. This little town in Ireland has a population of 300 but a heart that beats as one. Thanks for having us Joe and Caroline. Your beds are comfy, your Murphy’s stout creamy and your community juicy as all hell.

As I type this the warm sunshine drains the last bits of icy cold winter from my body. I’m sitting having lunch on a rooftop in Melbourne pondering spring and also this incredible tour I get to embark upon. There is nothing like the return of spring to pull you from your wintery torpor. Spring truly is golden. Grab yourself a golden ticket from link in my bio! #mamakinspender #touringaustralia #springisgolden (at Golden Spring, Saint Andrew, Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSdSRbllTe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aijgmmhddjcn
