Sunny Smith is the solo project of Sydney-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chris Smithson (The Kava Kings, Caravana Sun). Chris released his debut track, Ziggy, under the moniker in November 2020 with a five-track EP slated for release in early 2021. A debut eight years in the making, Chris first knew music was for him when he skipped out on a year 10 trial exam to go on tour with his band, The Kava Kings and hasn’t looked back from massive international festival stages across Germany to a disorganised show at a public pool in Italy. Chris isn’t new to the scene with three European tours under his belt with The Kava Kings and Caravana Sun supporting follow big acts, The Skatalites (Jamaica) and Ozomatli (USA) . As well as wearing a track around Australia having supported John Butler, Lime Cordiale, Birds of Tokyo, Ocean Alley and The Beautiful Girls. Inspired by Tame Impala, Gorillaz and Neil Young with a slice of Andy Shauf, Blake Mills, Ethan Gruska and Whitney thrown in the mix inspired Chris to create the sound that is Sunny Smith. The dreamy three minute thirty track lives up to the Sunny Smith name transporting you to beachside scenes with musing of the future. Ziggy explores the feeling of anemoia, that nostalgic feeling for a time you’ve never known, and is inspired by the many stages of life, the different goals we all aspire to big and small culminating at that moment where you crossover from person to parent. Written during a self-described songwriting drought, Ziggy was the muse to allow Sunny Smith to pour his heart into “the most honest writing I’ve ever done”. This underpinned honesty coupled with inspiration from the likes of Andy Shauf, Blake Mills and The Police create a dreamy track perfectly timed for you to walk to and create your own sense of anemoia. Sunny Smith jumped into the studio with Sydney drummer and producer legend, Declan Kelly (Bernard Fanning, Katie Noonan, Kasey Chambers) to bring Ziggy to life. “The morning we started on Ziggy, Declan thought we should lay down a guide drum track to create a good foundation for the song. We both loved that take so much we kept it, and the song grew from that point on. The beat doesn't change for the whole song. It's just so nice when something unplanned becomes such an integral part of a song.” Chris Smithson, SunnySmith. Visit www.onespace.love

Australia’s favourite adopted Irish sister, Áine Tyrrell is a modern day Pirate Queen, except instead of ships, she captures audiences, one heart at a time. After living in Australia for a decade, Irish born singer-songwriter Áine Tyrrell has carved a unique musical path melding her own Irish roots from the ancient limestone rocks of Country Clare with her respect of the red dirt roads of 60,000 years of Indigenous culture in Australia. It is this longstanding connection between the Irish story and the experience of Indigenous Australia in regards to colonialism that Tyrrell calls on in her powerful, gut wrenching call to arms ‘We Call You Now’. The 7 minute ‘cultural smackdown’ is a departure in style and tone for Áine, who gathers force in a wildly emotive spoken word rant that is reminiscent of the musical poetry of rock greats like Patti Smith. The song came after her invitation by the Bunyarra Culture Collective to be part of the Black Lives Matter protest in June in Byron Bay. After sitting deeply with some people’s reactions that claim Irish heritage, Áine penned a 7 minute history lesson and invited The Bunyarra Culture Collective to join in on the track. "We Call You Now" It’s not a song. It’s not a rap. It’s not spoken word but it is all those things woven together. Produced by Boundy Sound.  "James Boundy had such an honour and respect for the spirit and culture within each word and contribution. So amazing to watch an engineer and producer like Boundy do his thing just quietly painting around the intentions of a song and bringing the best out." Aine Tyrrell Track features Dhinawandreaming on the Yiddaki and the amazing vocals and stunning spirit of Emily Wurramara "Áine Tyrell delivers anthems for humanity with her new album Return to the Sea" - Hhappy Mag 2019 https://www.ainetyrrell.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaJTdlKhekE&feature=emb_title

Between India, the shores of Australia and now currently Amsterdam, Rosie has found true joy in expressing her heart through performing sitar, guitar, voice and devotional songwriting – with an extensive music career in Australia performing with Shanti Fire, Old Man River, Lulu & Mischka and Ngaiire, to name a few. The duo met by the riverside in Cabella Italy at a meditation retreat, and instantly felt swept up in the joy of devotion and commitment to serving the higher purpose. Their energies and music combine to offer nourishment to the heart and sweetness to the soul.

Nat Carey shares how she does Sound Healing. You can follow,  Brave_Spirit _Sound_Sessions on instagram to learn more and book in for a session.  Learn more about Valentina Brave Music Latest release "This place your soul" produced by Danielle Caruana (Mama Kin) To capture Valentina Brave's voice and music is to hitch a ride in Persephone's Ute, having burned across the darkest night of the soul, picked up the Virgin Mary herself to ride shotgun, with Betty Davis on the bonnet. Her vintage rock, murder ballads and soul anthems come directly from the underworld. These are transformative songs that will spit you out the other side of a journey that may begin in suffering, but ends in a melodic freedom. Brave makes vulnerability her ally, a powerful medicine in these times. An artist worth witnessing, Brave shared the stage with global luminaries Michael Franti, Jackson Browne and Juanes at Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festival when Franti invited her to perform for his main stage closing set. With overwhelming response, it was a landmark moment in the evolution of powerhouse vocalist, improviser and world class artist. Her Debut EP Wildflower, produced by aria nominated musician Danielle Caruana (Mama Kin), as the title suggests, is indicative of what grows out of human heartache. Wildflowers grow in graveyards, sprung from grief, their beauty bleeding unapologetically into the earth. Like these plants, Brave is a resilient feminine force. Listen "I Met a Man" and "Calling me Back"Nat Carey aka Valentina Brave_Calling me back

Adapting to the new ways  "One thing I have seen in the review of the Lockdown period and I can look back on the social media posts I was posting at the terrible times is I was trying to focus on the things you can work on, and in this brief time don't we know what the future holds but up until this point I have even seen that even in my external reality that left me open to see the opportunities. So its like, work on the inner first and get yourself dealing with the situation well, and then from their don't worry about what your going to come up with, you'll see if your tuned right, you'll see the opportunities and just react to them and you can start to create from there."

Ash is definitely someone following his path doing what he loves. Music was not the career path he set off on, and Ash shares how the road began to turn towards the music.  He and his wife Danni Carr are the founders of Earth Bottles. In 2014 Danni sought to find new merchandise for her high-profile hubby; something practical for the planet as well as reflective of Ash’s earthy nature. As a result Earth Bottles was created.  Ash and I caught up over Zoom during this time of isolation and he shares how he was flying over to Spain when the news broke of COVID-19 and how he was on tour with his musicians and how they pushed as hard as they could touring night after night before the emergency was declared and they he had to book flights back home for them all. When he arrived home the news was announced that Blues Fest was cancelled and it was illegal to tour for the next 6 months. At the peak of his touring it all came to a stand still, and he was faced the prospect of loosing his family home, and face cancelling all his plans for the tour that were in place for 2020.  What I love is how Ash faced his crisis head on and made a choice in that moment to adapt and find a new way, using the skills and knowledge he has inside him and to collaborate with the skills of others around him.  He shares how he is adapting now to the new norm, and how he is live streaming his gigs and what that experience has been like.  Terence McKenna.
