I write, compose and arrange music, perform, record and try to get my stuff out there. I graduated in 1993 with a degree in Contemporary music from The Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

I’ve just released my album This Fire, a mix of alt.country, blues/roots and country rock songs. You can listen to them on the MP3 page.

Recently I wrote two latin pieces for award winning up and coming Australian filmmaker Tom Francis. I like to write using many forms and styles of music.

Future Projects

  • Write more music for film and television
  • Write songs for other artists
  • Start my new album

This is the second year I have played here and I love it, great atmosphere with lots of keen, dedicated music fans, definitely a favourite of mine.

Two weeks ago I was rated #110 on the Joyce Ramgatie International Mainstream Top 200 Chart. This week I moved up 28 spots to #82. The start of international fame and fortune! Yeah well. I’m still happy though because Merle Haggard’s only four places above me!

You can view the charts if you scroll down to the bottom of this page.

A big thank you to Donald Burdick Jnr, and all the DJs that have played my songs, and put me on this chart.

He spotlighted the This Fire album two weeks in a row.

While I was talking to Jerry, a lady from the French Riviera said that she had been listening and loved my stuff. Fantastic, now to convert the other 27,000,00 people in France!

Actually, Jacques Dufour, from Radio Lyon 1 has also played the album.

I wonder if they have a country music association in France? If you know, please post a comment.

You can listen to Jerry’s great show on the internet at http://www.paltalk.com/ - check for times.
