Hold on, I'm coming....

So a bit of time has passed since my last post, actually I feel like this year is running past! Can you relate??

Well lots has been happening since my last post and I'd love to get you up to speed. At the moment my life is made up of rehearsals, work and baby showers it seems haha!

Big Fish the Musical opens in about 4 weeks and I am loving every minute of that rehearsal process. I am so grateful for the experiences and opportunities I have had this year and this musical is another of those moments. I love the character I am playing (Sandra), the songs I get to sing and all the people I am working with. On April 24th, Andrew Crispe and Myself sang one of our duets from the show at Broadway Sessions. This is a night that happens once a month, kind of like an open mic night, gives performers of all ages and experience the opportunity to sing something out of a the musical theatre genre. It is always a great night and is rather popular so it was great to get the chance to share music from Big Fish and from all accounts it went over very well :)
If you have a chance don't miss seeing this show, you will leave uplifted and with a smile on your face.Season runs from 9th - 18th June. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday 17th May so head to http://therry.org.au/ for more info.

Next week I actually have two other gigs with different groups. The new one that I will be doing is working with the J. D Lord Band. This has been interesting to see become what it is and we are looking forward to singing/playing some great music on Sunday 22nd at Norwood Live. The music is a mix of Tom Jones and Elvis, soulful 70s so I am sure there would be songs you recognise and can sing along to. I am singing backing vocals with my sister Liv and our friend Sophie and we are enjoying stepping back in time a bit. So if you are free, why not come down and hear us! We'd love to have a good showing and share it with you. Details are on the poster below and for more info head to the band facebook page.

 


So above I also mentioned Baby Showers. Well I have had 3 in the past 3 weekends and all for my sisters. So both my sisters Lauren and Liv are pregnant, due within a month of one another and so it was the time for Baby Showers. Liv had two as it is her first child and she has lots of people to invite and some of Lauren's friends in Melbourne put one on for her. It has been lovely to share with them, bake cakes for them and to see their new babies showered with lovely presents. I am looking forward to being an Auntie again!!


Well that just about covers it to here I think.
Hope you have a fabulous month of May, hopefully I'll see you at something I am singing at soon.

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....

"There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....." Yes there is! Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm is BACK for its fourth season and opens this Thursday. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that this is a special production and the role of Laurey is one I love to play! This year is the 75th Anniversary of the Production of Oklahoma! and so it is wonderful to be performing it again in the same year. Although in rather milder weather! The Farm, Four Oaks at Littlehampton is beautifully green and bursting with life. The animals are in full voice as in the wonderful cast. Immerse yourself in this unique family-friendly experience, a beloved classic with live horses, windmill, and a country fair of delicious treats & wares. If the last 3 seasons feedback is anything to go by, you will LOVE IT!! If you have seen it before, you will know what I am talking about and you should tell others. Or come along again and bring some new fr

All Shook Up!

I am blessed. A week ago I got back from an amazing singing trip. Cruising the seas, performing with amazing musicians and performers, 16 shows in 7 days, plenty of food and a ton of laughs - I am still smiling. The Cruise 'N Groove Elvis Meets the Legends Cruise was a fantastic week. I had never been on a cruise before so it was quite an experience, I loved the food and the weather was fantastic (only a bit of rockiness to contend with) and we visited Mare and Noumea in New Caledonia.  I am reasonably new to the Elvis world and so this was an eye opener for that as well but I actually loved it. Elvis fans are exceptionally passionate and in some ways quite a wonder.  I was on this trip as a backing vocalist with the Tributes in Concert Band or TIC Band and we backed all of the headlining Elvis Tribute Artists. So to the band first, what a privilege it was to perform with them. Each and everyone of them super talented (to the point, that I would get caught watching them at t

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and my sister
