This is how I imagine energy moving through the crowd when we play. Before I play, I pray. I pray that we can tap into the the multi-dimensional time, matter, space continuum, and create frequency that raises the vibration. That gives people the chills and helps them feel and realize they’re not alone. To push out Love through story, melody and rhythm and rattle apart the cellular walls of cancer and Dis-ease until they dissolve and the pain, shame and hate are felt, shed and released. Combined with the colour therapy of lights, visuals , symbols and moods mixed with the technology of the speakers and gifted sound and light operators this is where multidimensional shifts can take place. To me it not just a show. It’s an opportunity. A ritual .A Corroboree. I visualize that when we’ve finished there is physical, mental, spiritual metaphorical, anatomical and atomic frequency shift/lift towards oneness and harmony. A little more divinity. I made the decision very early in my career that if I was to do this self indulgent act of making my art and all the paraphernalia that comes with it ; all the ego, photo shoots, publicity; the me, me,me of it all, that it had to be for a bigger reason. This is the reason. Stand on sacred ground and together with the audience try and open up the band width. Yours and Mine. Thanks for the opportunity. It’s a true honor and privilege . Love to you all.

Hey Family, We unfortunately have had some sad news today. Missy Higgins will not be able to perform tonight due to a very bad throat infection. We wish her all the very best for a speedy recovery and will miss her amazing show tonight. She is such a talent. But the old adage rings true and the show must go on! We have the amazing Freo singer Carla Geneve now opening the concert. She opened for us in Albany and Margs and blew all our minds. A real powerhouse. The one and only Stella Donnelly and her band will now do a full hour set, and myself and my 4 other band mates ( JBT +) will be doing an extended show. It will be a special night with all WA talent! We will miss Missy greatly though and look forward to playing with her around the country over the next few weeks when she is back to full health. Mend up Missy!
