Fight n Flight, the debut album from Jackie Marshall, is a powerful exploration of resilience, hope, despair, and self-discovery, underpinned with phenomenal musicianship and performances from Marshall and her team of collaborators. This album captures the recognisable essence of life’s challenges and triumphs, with each track an extended metaphor for Jackie’s personal journey and life experience. Blending elements of indie-folk, soul, and country, Fight n Flight features poignant, deft lyrics paired with beautiful infectious melodies that combine to create a deep resonance with the listener. Marshall’s soulful voice and expression effortlessly conveys raw emotion, whether she’s addressing themes of sanctification, vulnerability, or the complexities of personal and familial relationships.

This review of my dear friend @jackiemarshallmusic and her new album is in today’s Weekend Oz as the lead review. The record is great, she’s great - and I’m always honoured to play and record with her. Thanks for asking me to be a part of it, Jacko. Check it out via her bandcamp.

The Experiment are playing a couple of long and loud-ish sets at @ec_brunswick this evening Saturday June 10th from 6:00pm. Ben will be there, James will be there, and this guy will be there with many different types of E chords. Hail, hail. Image by @roygreer2 and taken at @fuzzy_sunday_events not so long ago.

This is happening on Wednesday night May 3rd - a premiere of a new piece of mine, performed by Trio Rizumu at Hanson Dyer Hall at @unimelb Ian Potter Southbank Centre. Free admission but you gotta register - go to my website (in bio) and there’s a link there.

The Experiment are playing the lineup of #fuzzysunday this coming weekend on Sunday April 30th. You can pre-book tickets via the link on my website - get there via my bio here if you need a link to get there. We are all but links in the chain - maps no longer necessary.

Get around it - my funny sister @raewynspicks is actually being funny at the @melbcomedyfestival at Campari House. It’s only on for a few more nights so get to it if your lives are miserable and need a pick-me-up.

Just packing for tomorrow night’s gig (Saturday Feb 25th) at @ec_brunswick - two sets of guitar face from 6:00pm with the Experiment. Have I forgotten anything?

The Experiment rides this evening Friday Feb 10th at @the.coburg.rsl with two expansive sets from 8:30pm. Free entry and good vibes. Let the light of music heal thy soul.

The Experiment are doing a gig which means I’m playing with these two space cadets. It’s at Coburg RSL this Friday Nov 4th, with two sets from 8:30pm. Come for the music, stay for the music.

The fantastic group @bushgothic and The Lonely String Quartet are premiering a new tune of mine at a concert at @melbrecital this Saturday June 18th! Get your tickets at the Melbourne Recital Centre website because that just makes sense.

I’m playing with these two clowns again as the Experiment support our good friend @alcarrmusic for his album launch at Brunswick Artist’s Bar this Friday. Grab your tickets via the @brunswick_artists_bar_ website - there’s only a few left! Our other good friend @rohannichol is also opening up as well. It’s a good week to be optimistic and have music in your life.
