The “A Team” – Nathan Kendall (middle) and Bodi Lowry (back), September 2021.
The new album – #ETERNITY was recorded at AIRLOCK STUDIOS in September-November 2021. AIRLOCK STUDIOS is owned and operated by multiple ARIA award winning guitarist and songwriter Ian Haug, who teamed me up with two young musicians – Nathan Kendall and Bodi Lowry. There isn’t much these two can’t do – drums, piano, synth, guitars, bass, percussion, backing vocals, engineering, mixing, setting up the studio with mics and managing all the technical side. One quick run through each song on my acoustic, a brief chat about arrangement and melody, and that was enough. Layering came later. It was pure joy collaborating with these super talented lads.
Recording took seven days in total across three sessions. During this time I had a second surgery, completed radiation and started chemo.
I was hoping to do a small tour of northern NSW and SE Queensland in 2022, but needed to focus on recovery. Long term I hope to do amateur community based gigs like folk clubs, surf clubs and community halls guided by how well Im feeling.
