2021-09-30 02:53:43 NEW video for 'Free The Nation' out today.

Free The Nation is a celebration of brave musicians and music fans coming together to support freedom, choice and love, in a world without discrimination or segregation—a beautiful world.

I wrote this song after launching the Free The Nation Music campaign in response to the #vaxthenation campaign. Free The Nation Music brings together musicians and music fans who believe in an inclusive community, one that is welcoming to all and free from segregation. A growing community that does not coerce or bully others into making a choice they may not otherwise make.

We all have the right to enjoy live music and to work and socialise freely.

These rights are our freedoms. They can never be taken away. No matter how hard some people try.

2021-09-28 00:03:54 I’ll always remember what I was doing on the 20th anniversary of the falsest of flags: writing a song about freedom.

Twenty years on and we’re just, collectively, waking up to the lies our world has tried to swallow for generations.

But no matter how hard they force fed us we just couldn’t keep it down.

Freedom is like that: unstoppable.

PS. Free The Nation, the single, is out now on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music and all the regular digital outlets.

2021-09-27 01:47:27 Life is surprising.

After being so deflated at seeing many of my childhood musical heroes (Bruce Springsteen, looking at you) coming out doing ‘jabbed-only’ shows and others doing (paid) promotions of experimental injections I have now discovered that I am not alone in my desire to listen to and perform music free from forced or coerced medial procedures.

The list of musicians supporting freedom at https://freethenationmusic.com/musicians/ grows each day, and with it new playlists, full of music from artists with integrity.

I didn’t realise how much I was denying myself listening to music until putting these playlists together. Before FTNM it felt like the WHOLE music world had let me down; but of course it hadn’t. It was simply my attachment to old ideas and nostalgia holding me back.

But this is a brave new world. A world of new music from artists who share my values of freedom, choice and respect.

It’s a change for the better.

For sure. Open / Comment

2021-09-25 13:44:38 Musicians in Australia have been conditioned for over a decade (maybe more) by state run radio (JJJ/ABC) to ‘think’ in a certain way about all issues and not to stray.

Independent thought = banishment from major (corporate) dominated music scene.

Major festivals in Australia are now insisting acts bow to government directives to get jabbed or risk losing their slot.

But most musicians don’t even need overt blackmail to go along to get along; they are terrified of losing their fame or perceived position amongst peers.

Luckily, we have a growing community of freedom loving free-thinking musicians at Free The Nation Music who do not bully, coerce of intimidate others into doing what the corporate government bids.

Playlists on the website too.

2021-09-24 10:12:33 Money? Fame? Adoration?

Worth nothing compared to our freedom.

But it seems many have sold their souls long ago.

May they see the light of truth before the darkness comes to swallow them completely.

2021-09-22 13:45:04 Feeling for everyone in Melbourne.

And the rest of Australia.

And most parts of the world.

Awakening can be chaotic it seems. Open / Comment
