"When I first moved from Byron to Sydney, I spent most nights drifting between the little venues in Kings Cross that hosted blues jams. I’d bring my guitar along and see if I could jump in for a song or two. Those nights opened up the world for me - they made music feel possible, and showed me there was a whole community of people chasing the same dream. At the same time, I was catching gigs all over the inner-west, daydreaming about starting my own project and hoping to meet others who felt the same pull towards music and collaboration.
