Borrowed Horses

Australiana with a twist!

About Me

A lifetime of living in the majestic Blue Mountains has strongly influenced my singing and songwriting, and I try to reflect the beauty of this region in my music.

After performing over the last decade with local bands as a vocalist I branched out to further develop my songwriting and vocals with originals bands Spindle Rode (a folk trio, 2001-2003) and Eleven Eleven (a heavy progressive rock group, 2005). I am now seeing a return to my love of early Australian folk music influenced by the traditional Celtic sounds from where my ancestry originates.

The Borrowed Horses EP was released late in 2006 with the assistance of Arby Gee (harmony vocals, guitar and production), and now I am busy sitting in my little cottage working on my next EP (with assistance from a little black cat) to be released later this year.
I hope you enjoy the four selections on my debut EP.
