What a pleasure to play our new songs in the warm embrace of the @retreat_hotel_brunswick yesterday. And quite apt that we called in the rains with this song, Rains.

We’ve spent the last few months brewing the album and at the same time, developing a live sound with Matt Fox’s (@earthsmoltencore ) widescreen, spacious guitar, @becbirchall on keys, and the vocal blend of me, Bec and @bindibshimada . Genetic harmonies. Psychedelic folk. Wadawurrung country blues.

It felt like a homecoming playing it for the murderers row of musicians, songwriters and friends in attendance. Thanks to @bigdeliciousmusic for having us.
Ladies and gentlemen, the B Birchalls featuring @bindibshimada and @becbirchall . ———
I’m so incredibly lucky to be able to sing and play with my sister and my cousin. Not only are they both ridiculously talented, but when we lock in, it feels like there’s something supernatural about how our voices blend. Maybe because we started harmonising in our Grandma Norma’s parlour 40 or so years ago. ——-
Here we are getting ready for the @theoldbar on Saturday.
A little snippet from our show at @bellsbeachbrewing a few weeks ago. Such a joy singing some family harmonies with the Beach Belles aka my sister @bindibshimada and cousin @becbirchall . More shows coming soon. As soon as Sunday in fact!
I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be supporting the incredible @mamakinspender this Sunday with thanks to @thesounddoctor.info . Unfortunately, as happens with almost all of the Sound Doctor shows, it’s sold out. But we’re so proud to be gracing their stage with some incredible artists. I’ll be joined by the Beach Belles, @bindibshimada and @becbirchall on harmonies and playing a sneak peek of our upcoming album, Gravel Tracks which is done and ready for release. Thanks to the mums in my life for making it possible to play this show on Mother’s Day! Hope some of you already have tickets. This is a big one for us. BB.
It’s been a little while between drinks musically but I’m happy to say that our album Gravel Tracks is complete and I’ll be out playing shows again, on my own, with the Beach Belles and with a bigger band as well. We’re starting with a few trio shows this weekend at @bellsbeachbrewing on Sunday at 3 supporting Climax (featuring members of @tttdcband ). Got a fun little announcement of another surfcoast show coming next week. Thanks for your patience. This is the first song from the album. Can’t wait to show you what we did with it.
Very happy to rep @floodlights___ for @ausmusictshirtday_official this year. I’ll be making a donation to @supportact for their ongoing support for musicians and music workers.
If you love Australian music, please support this cause, buy merch direct from artists, go to shows, tell your friends. It’s been so instrumental in my life but it is tougher than ever to make and play live, original music and also…eat. And pay bills. And just survive.
I’ll be seeing Floodlights at @swell_sessions_torquay in Feb because, well, I fucking love them. But also it’s important to show support with your feet and voice. Especially at venues who continuously support live, original local music.
It’s not just ice cream 🫣

Since winning Masterchef, Nat Thaipun aka @nattywolf has worked with Jamie Oliver and some of the world’s best restaurants and now she has a (seriously beautiful and delicious) cook book Thai: Anywhere and Everywhere.
In this interview in Australia’s most unhinged food podcast @ingredipedia , Emily and Ben find out the stories behind the dishes in her new cookbook (like the “trifle situation”) and learn more about Nat from how she organises her freezer to what she eats while carb-loading for an ultra-marathon.
🎧Listen to @ingredipedia on Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts!

I’m so lucky to be part of the alt country collective @bigdeliciousmusic , where our friends John and Dave craft Nashville masterpieces and get a bunch of us to sing them. This is me brushing up on the latest single that I sing with with Pat Devery and Tim Reid. Come and see us play it live at the @retreat_hotel_brunswick on Saturday October 25 from 2-4pm.
