Patrick James

Patrick James

‘He’s not going to wear a kaftan, nor is he going to use auto-tune. He’s just a boy with a guitar writing beautiful, simple and powerful songs. And to be honest, that’s all you really need.’

Patrick James has been winning the hearts and minds of the Australian folk scene with his no nonsense, straight up style of excellence. Playing intimate gigs with like minded, equally talented people Patrick has been a busy guy of late. I caught him performing a few months back playing at the Hibernian House in Sydney where the night was shared with Faith Lee & Tim Hart and the boy was on fire. Simple folk music at it’s finest with well crafted guitar work and lyrics.

More recently Patrick has taken the tour with Tim Hart further a field. Playing similarly intimate venues, this tour stretches from The Waiting Room in Brisbane down to Beav’s bar in Geelong. The pair will be stopping in Sydney to celebrate the half way mark with a show at the Kings Cross Hotel as part of the FBi Social and Patrick James will be calling into the studio to share some music live on air that morning.

Tune into Bondi FM 3rd March from 9am to catch Patrick James on The Saturday Walk of Shame. We’ll be talking about life on the road, his new EP and even share in a couple of tracks.It’s going to be the perfect start to your Bondi Weekend.

Wake Owl

Wake! Owl – Wild Country EP

Lead by vocalist Colyn Cameron, Wake! Owl, are a folk outfit from Vancouver!  The team of troubadours got together over to pour their  musical know-how into creating the 5 songs collectively known as the Wild Country EP. The songs evoke a disparate landscape that would be well suited to the snow capped hinterlands of Canada. Yet the tracks bear the glow of a great log fire to produce an EP that is both warm and inviting, bursting full of promise.

Fans of Boy & Bear, or Bright Eyes will no doubt enjoy Wake! Owl. They’ve drawn comparisons from the likes of Tallest Man on Earth and Mumford and Sons, though I believe that’s more to do with the soaring violin and raspy vocals rather than bluegrass banjo’s.

Below is a sneaky taster of what the Wild Country EP is made of (which I found over at Fresh Muse) and you can find out much more info through the Wake! Owl FB page. Their music is available for a donation via their Bandcamp page and I can assure you, any dollars you put forward will go a long way to ensuring the longevity of this project, so get involved!
