Sydney!

20120504-152918.jpg
Last night’s Northcote Social Club was fun fun fun. Muchas gracias amigos y amigas. Goodbye Victoria. Thanks for the sweet gorgeous times.
Now— Landed in Sydney. Things are good. Belly full. Got upgraded to business class. Too bad the flight was so short. I was just getting used to it. Saturday night I’m fixing to rock out at The Basement. I can’t wait. I just made this pretty poster for the gig. Come one come all.
I wanna hold your hand. My Creepyland friends have invaded my head. Love it.

My left hand is growing like ivy. I like the way it feels.
See you at The Basement.
Saturday night. 9pm

Northcote Social

I just made this pretty poster for my show tonight in Melbourne at The Northcote Social Club. I’m going to wear my new used boots and a smile. I’m excited to have some musical fun and happiness.
See you there?

The Gift

20120502-143157.jpg
So I was playing a house concert in Melbourne, Australia the other day and there was this famous landscape architect gardener extraordinaire at the show. His name is Andrew Laidlaw. As I was playing the show I was connecting with him. Telepathically of course. I can usually tell if someone is really digging the music by their body language. He was leaning forward and totally simpatico with me. He was sitting next to his gorgeous wife. It was an outdoor show and it was chilly and everyone looked ready for Autumn and Winter. You have to remember that Winter is on its way here in Australia. The leaves are turning and there is a chill in the Melbourne air. So anyways, in the middle of my show I tell Andrew that I love his boots and cool and worn in they look. So I finish the show and he comes up and gives me the biggest hug and says “I think my boots will fit you. Please try them on.” so he kicks off his boots and like Cinderella they fit like a glove. He says “ease take them as a gift. I want to walk out of this party in my socks.” That’s Australia. They’ll give you the shoes off their feet. These are freaking R.M Williams boots! They’re as classic Aussie as it gets. Ahhhhhmazing.
My final two Melbourne shows are tonight Wednesday at Ruby’s in Belgrave and tomorrow Thursday night at Northcote Social Club.
I can’t wait to see you.
Thank you Andrew Laidlaw!
Cheers,
Steve

All I need

20120429-111058.jpg
All I need is my Barbie bike with training wheels and a proper cup of tea and I’m ready to face to new Australian day.
Thanks to all the fine folks in Teesdale for coming on out to the show at Tombstone. It was a real joy to play for everyone.
Happy Sunday to you!
Thanks Brad and Janelle!

So that’s where he lives!

I had no clue. I guess the people in Melbourne want all of their citizens to know where to go in times of trouble.
I’m on my way to Teesdale. Playing some music. Cancer benefit. I need to find out out whether it’s benefit for or against cancer. Need to check with my agent. This could get weird.

Just played a super fun show in the Footscray area of Melbourne. Did a sweet interview with Noise 11 as well and a radio interview. Now it’s 2 am and I’m fixing to snooze. I went to yoga this morning and then the day just flew by. it’s Saturday morning already in Australia. Tour time goes so fast. I’ve already been down under for 17 days. Must get some sleep.

The world is tipping

20120425-125448.jpg
Grab a strap or something fast. Because the world is tipping over. We are going to slide right off if we’re not careful. I’m ahead of you so I’ll try to build a soft deck out of netting. Do you feel it yet?

I had fun last night playing in a garage in Ferntree Gulley. There were lots of kids at the show and they were pretty fun. I was a complete weirdo and that made it interesting. Really nice people. The garage was packed. A little boy named Toby sang Sewing Machine with me. He knew every word.
I’m having fun. Enjoying the tipping planet. Tonight I play at Deano’s house.
Yayayayay!

Quorn!

20120423-175517.jpg
Back in Adelaide after a lovely time in Quorn. If someone had told me I’d be playing a place called Quorn in South Australia I’d probably still believe them. I mean, I play some remote places but this was pretty remote.

I played at Emily’s Bistro and had a heck of a night. The town is like an old Aussie wild west type town. Situated right near The Flinders Ranges the mountains are nice and the sky is so blue. I played to a room a varying ages and sizes. The wooden floors made the room sound echoey and full.

Then I spent the night and woke up and taught a songwriting workshop to Sonja’s class. They are 15 and 16 year olds. I tried my best to get them inspired. They all wrote songs and performed them for me. I think it went well. Sonja is really nice and caring and appreciative. Those kids are lucky to have her as a teacher. This was a great day. Happy to feel alive.
Next stop– Melbourne. Qantas flight in the morning. Lots of Melbourne shows. House concerts and venues. Check the show listings
Going to sleep,
Steve
