Fab-ruary
Things are heating up for me this month! Mostly from a weather perspective, but I do have a good bunch of gigs to look forward to over February, or should I say, Fab-ruary? Both good. You can scroll down to see where I'm at this month. I have spots at Ugly Duckling Wines in West Swan, Currambine Bar & Bistro, South Beach Hotel in Freo, Carrington's Bar & Grill, The Henley Brook Tavern, Valencia Bar & Grill in Caversham and Riverton Bar & Grill. The Wesleys are back at the B

The big gig news this month is that thanks to Slim Jim Enterprises, I'll be returning to the Federal Hotel for the first time since March! I have a Saturday and a Sunday date there in Dec

Roll Over October (and November!)
Another month has passed, and we're into the final quarter of 2025! I'll be keeping busy with a few solo gigs and some dates with the Wesleys as well. Last weekend I had my final appearance up at Araluen Botanic Park in Roleystone, as part of their Tulip Festival. It was wonderful to play up there again, and if you get the chance, the festival has been extended for another week. Go and take in all the blooms and enjoy some quality live music as you traverse the grounds! In ad
