G’day

A few weeks ago I was in Caboolture for the country music festival. It was great to get the chance to do another show. I got a chance to meet a few people like Dean Perret and Graham Rodgers and also got a chance to catch up with The Coad’s, Trevor Tolton and Sharon Smith. The Caboolture festival was a great experience, I got to play on the Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The week before I was in Sydney recording my first single with Stuart French. Stuie is a great bloke and a fantastic musician. He made my song “Hittin’ the Murray” sound really good. I was really happy with how the song finished up and I’d like to give a huge thanks to everyone involved. My next booked show will be at the Mildura country music festival in September, but I hope to get to the Gympie muster in August as well. Look forward to seeing you!

Cheers

Dave
