The Great Noosa Camp Out
When 2008 kicked off, i had no idea that by August I would be driving Noosa's first big music festival, with 3 other partners with an 80% local lineup to be a huge success despite copping torrential rain in the afternoon to clear to an awesome all night party/jam which i filmed til 7 am..
Check out www.thegreatnoosacampout.com
Heading out to Percy Island mid -jan to continue working on the 'Secrets of the Coral Sea' project www.percyisland.com I'm dreaming up a yacht race and more events on the Coral Coast...mixing music & film & fun stuff. We formed United Artists of the Sunshine Coast in Dec 08 and with these partners, I hope to lead us into some very exciting places...
Sorting my studio again to be recording again by march..
White Eagle Records will be handling distribution of 'The Messenger's Apprentice' into Canada & the U.S this year and I'm planning on heading over in the spring..
Thanks for dropping by, I'll have new pics up soon..
love,light&laughter

Music was a family trait so I was encouraged to pick up a guitar, songwriting a natural progression..I was recording my own songs while still at school and progressed to work as a full time musician and Uni student. I didn't get much sleep that year..nothing seems to have changed!
I dropped Uni and went to Sydney to play, Brisbane was pretty quiet in those days, and worked in the inner city clubs/comedy houses for a couple of years.I moved back to Bris to continue in familiar recording territory.
Becoming an engineer to achieve greater control over my work was a welcome advance and now I enjoy collaboration with many gifted producers and musicians. The KGB (Kate Gibson Band)current lineup was brought about by Keys/Jazz player Ross Nixon who recruited awesome drummer John Barnes who recruited 'joined at the hip'partner in groove, bassist Peter (Willy) Willersdorf and Guitarist Neil Taylor who fitted right in. Saxophonist Ric halstead, known well in Jazz circles, recruited sought after and extremely wonderful keyboardist Ritchie Eyles, as Ross jetsetted off to a Japanese Jazz club. My close pals and regular songwriting and recording partners,Tony Byrne (Blues Guitarist and leader of 'The mercuries' and Producer @Blue_Zen Studios) and Ian Harvey (Electric Bedland Studios & Pleasure Kings Gtr/voc)are often guests in our lineup. My teenage daughters, Jesika (19) and maddie(15), (their brother is a Skaterdude(17)) are singing back up vocals with us for the Caloundra Music Festival, so that's a GOOD thing!! We have been playing with this lineup for over a year now and its a cool thing to have a band that knows my songs so well..we really have a lot of fun. With the CD finished, now we are making video's...p.s! I submitted a DVD to Australian Idol, filmed in Tony's studio...seeing as how I'm already officially a Rockermom in the U.S.A... |
