Head in My Hands - a little video release for a bonus track on my album, out everywhere today! An a cappella song of grief for your heart and the world, it carries hope that through singing out the sorrow, we can also find strength. Grateful to have the voices of @saint__sofia_ , @charlottelelievremusic , and @thebushmiele alongside me on this one. Doll handmade by @penny_vol Puppetry by Airan Berg (more to come about that!) From A Bird Can’t Help But Fly Home - OUT NOW! Recorded on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, at @ragged_gum_records Records. A single day collaborative session with with fiddler @catmoser_therapeutic_arts and captured by the beautifully patient @compulsiverambler . Producer: Mitch Dillon (Ragged Gum Records) Vocals: Aimee Volkofsky Backing Vocals: Alexandra Rosenblum Backing Vocals: Charlotte Buckton Backing Vocals: Jess Parker 🤲 My head is in my hands My head is in my hands I look to the clouds and I cry out loud My head is in my hands ❤️‍🔥 My heart can’t take too much more My heart can’t take too much more If I’ll die alone, just let it be known ’cause my heart can’t take too much more 🪨 This load is heavy to bear This load is heavy to bear. I’ll carry my part walk on through the dark Though this load is heavy to bear 💧 My tears fall to the ground My tears fall to the ground From water things grow So these sorrows I’ll sow My tears fall to the ground #brokenhill #originalmusic #australianmusic #farwestnsw

OUT NOW ‘West Texas Hills’ - Written after a wild 19 hours on the Texas Eagle train, that included a raucous Beatles singalong with Amish folk and rough sleepers alike. A song about missing your love on the other side of the world, and just how much west Texas looks like far west New South Wales. Recorded in Castlemaine, Dja Dja Wurrung country, with Mitch Dillon at @ragged_gum_records featuring the wonderful fiddle work of @catmoser_therapeutic_arts , and backing vocal from my wonderful cousin @saint__sofia_ You can find it on all platforms even the evil ones for now. #Newmusic #Australianmusic #originalmusic #singersongwriter #CountryMusic #BrokenHill #FarWestNSW #westtexas #texaseagle #trains

Two nights of great live music are coming to @slagheapprojects this month, presented by @bushwitchproductions . 📍Tuesday 12 May — Ricky Albeck + Leroy Johnson 📍Saturday 16 May — Emmy Ryan + Alyce Pogson 🏚 Slag Heap Projects, Broken Hill ⏰ Doors 6:30pm 🎸 Tuesday 12 May, we welcome @rickyalbeck — bringing country-rock songwriting and guitar-playing magic all the way from Adelaide to the Silver City. Fresh from a 46-date run supporting Australian rock royalty Phil Jamieson of Grinspoon, Albeck is stopping in Broken Hill on his way home to Adelaide. He’ll be joined by Barkindji musician Leroy Johnson, in a rare solo performance of his original songs. 🎻 Then on Saturday 16 May - @emmybreeryan 's Big Sky Reunion tour through SA, NT and NSW lands at Slag Heap Gallery, with special guest @_notalice_ . A modern-day troubadour in the tradition of Joan Baez and Paul Kelly, Emmy Ryan sings with fierce tenderness about home, history and staying open-hearted in a complicated world - weaving mandolin, guitar and a voice that sits somewhere between a lullaby and a reckoning. Local darling Alyce Pogson opens the evening with songs of campfires, remote living, friendship and quiet beauty. See ya there! #wilyakalicountry #brokenhill #outbacknsw #livemusicnsw

A travelling songwriter from Queensland is making his way to Broken Hill! @jbpaterson brings his road-soaked folk songs and storytelling to Slag Heap Projects for an intimate one-night-only show. Travelling across continents with a catalogue shaped by dust, distance and human connection, Paterson’s music sits somewhere between folk, country and cinematic Americana—songs that feel like they’ve lived a life before they reach your ears. 📍Slag Heap Projects 📆Thursday April 2nd ⏰ 6PM 🎟$15 (link to come or on the door) (Photo by @rebeccacunninghamart ) Proudly supported by @bushwitchproductions and @slagheapprojects . #Livemusicnsw #farwestnsw #Wilyakalicountry #brokenHill
