So Proud to be part of the Ninelives UK Family

I am very excited to say that I am joining the Ninelives UK family!
These guys manage and work with the coolest of musicians, the first thing that attracted me to them in the first place! It’s so great to say that I am now part of that team! They have such a good understanding of music and are clearly working very hard!

I have been getting to know the team over the last 6 months and Lisa Mckeown, the co-founder of Ninelives, organized a surprise collaboration with the Graveltones for me, knowing how much of a big fan I was of their music!! It was such a pleasure to feature on their album. I have now been invited to join the Ninelives family along with the Graveltones, Euphoria Audio and Willie and the Bandits! I’m in great company!

They are wonderful people and I know they will help me achieve musical greatness! J Hard work and exciting times ahead!!! J

Excited to be a small part of the Graveltones debut Album!


So proud to be featured on this great new album by the Graveltones. Not heard of them yet? Trust me you will, these guys are going to be huge! A powerful rock blues duo with more energy than you can ever imagine!
Don't Wait Down Released soon!
The track I feature on is "Crime to be Talking', a duet with Jimmy O that I'm excited to be a part of. What makes it so good is that I'm a big Graveltones fan from the first time I saw them live at Leeds last year, they just hooked me in! I stood there almost transfixed and couldn't believe how good they were!! I came home from the gig after meeting them, saying I so want to get up there and sing with them! Then to be asked to sing on one of their tracks was so so cool and unbelievably weird how that came about!  
The album is getting some great reviews and starting to get airplay. They have also been nominated for Best New Band by Classic Rock Awards. Check them out, you wont be disappointed!!

You Tube Video hits 125k views!

My YouTube cover video of Linda Perrys, "What's up" has just hit over 125,000 views!
This is really unbelievable and obviously what has helped massively is that this is such a popular song by the 90's band 4 Non Blondes.

I am a huge fan of Linda Perry and was thrilled when she recently tweeted this video!

Support The Graveltones

  

My friends Jimmy and Mikey from the Australian duo, The Graveltones, have been nominated for the Classic Rock Awards "Best New Band".


I first saw the Graveltones live at Leeds University earlier this year and I was mesmerised by the energy of these two on stage! No-one plays drums quite like Mikey and Jimmy has the coolest gravelly blues voice! Together they own the stage and make so much noise for a two peice!

Their album is out October 21st and I know you are going to love it ;)

I would love to see them win this award. Please check out their stuff at http://www.thegraveltones.com I'm sure you are going to love them too!

Here's where you can vote for them! http://awards.classicrockmagazine.com/
Please head over and give them support. They are a self funded band that deserve support!
