‘Groove House’, the first track on my new EP,

‘Groove House’, the first track on my new EP, was inspired by a little club I used to play in York Street called @bakerslanebar with Brendon Siemsen (Guitar) and Nick Parker (Keyboards) on Tuesday nights in Launceston. It’s where I first started bringing my original material to perform live, and the first group I played in which understood the music!⁠

With over 500 gigs under our belts together, Brendon Siemsens and I have just a few funny stories from along the way.⁠
On one occasion, I remember us doing 4 gigs in one day starting at 12pm at @monamuseum in Hobart, moving to the Squires Bounty at 4pm, then off to @thewinstonbar at 6pm, with our final show at @republicbarcafe at 9pm that night…and it was a Sunday!⁠
Jez (who ran @republicbarcafe at the time) laid down the law when we arrived at the last venue for the night: No other gigs in Hobart on a weekend when we’re playing for him. We’ll never try that again!⁠

I’ll be at the Kingsway Bar on Apr 29, playing with Brendon Siemsen. Performance starts at 8pm, tickets are limited so get in quick folks.⁠

I met Andrew Dennis through Brendon Siemsen, in fact Brendon introduced us. If I had an anecdote about Andy, it would be that he is one of the few drummers that I know who can play melodically on the drum kit. In the absence of a melodic instrument, don’t forget! If you listen to just his playing, he always lets you know where the song is at, and as a drummer, that’s a great skill to have! ⁠

Introducing Ben Brinkhoff. I met Ben through a singer called @janelle.stowe (introduced by Brendon Siemen). Ben first did a gig with us at @thehomesteadtas in Hobart, and my earliest memory of him was that he is a vegetarian – that’s it! (WEIRD I know – but I am a meat eater and in our ethnic household growing up vegetarian was not a lifestyle we had ever heard of!)⁠
⁠
It wasn’t until our first major festival performance in 2018, when things started to take off for me as an artist, that I realised how great a player he is. I had written some Coltrane-influenced material that required an intensity and inventiveness in the style of the classic Coltrane Rhythm Sections. That’s when Ben absolutely shone, and he has been the only choice for bass ever since!⁠

Introducing Brendon Siemsen, member of the Evan Carydakis Quartet.⁠
⁠
I met Brendon when I first came to Tasmania from Melbourne in about 2013. He was the first great musician I played with, and we have been performing together ever since.⁠
⁠
We have done well over 500 gigs together all over Tas and intrastate, from Oyster Bay to Wynyard and EVERYWHERE in between!⁠
