About Me


www.calebgarfinkel.com
Debut EP ...Frogs in my Head out now! Visit CG Store or iTunes to purchase.
Growing up in a religious, broken home, amidst mountains of antique furniture and DIY renovation books, I discovered that music provided a vehicle to express your heart – the key to forming what my life is today.
My roots trace back to busking by a food van at a local market, which gave me quite a repulse for hot dogs and deep fried food. My beat-up nylon string guitar and my futile attempts at growing facial hair gave elderly ladies the impression that I was begging for drug money. Today, I study music at Victoria University in a converted mental asylum.
I am an optimistic and reflective singer/songwriter/musician from Melbourne, Australia, yet I claim no postal address. I like to draw from life’s challenges and experiences as I encounter them, combining folk, pop, rock and jazz, to share songs about life, love and everything in between. For me, music is a spiritual journey and I will continue to follow the path which allows me to freely express all that my heart can deliver.
In recent years I have performed in front of large crowds at venues such as Ruby’s Lounge, the Espy, Evelyn Hotel and Her Majesty’s Theatre Ballarat. I was also fortunate enough to win the Pukehead.com song competition with songs ‘Cigarette’ and ‘Flame’.
I have teamed up with musicians LiL Steve on Bass guitar and former Jaded Temple member Jaz Meadows on Drums/Percussion. I call them ‘The Dreaded Nomads’ due to their dreadlocked hair and nomadic adventures. Together, we have just recorded our first EP “Frogs in My Head” with Sing Sing producer Matt Voigt (Cat Power, Deloris), which will initially be released with Time Again Records for live show purchasing.
Be sure to look out for myself, Caleb Garfinkel and the Dreaded Nomads playing and hitchhiking on a street corner near you.
