Halfway to Somewhere
Halfway to Somewhere is the debut album inspired by the landscapes, history and travel stories of Australia and beyond. Blending original folk music with rich storytelling, the album explores themes of identity, adventure and connection through songs such as The Ballad of Isabelle Letham, The Wombat Song and Fatima.
Featuring acclaimed folk musicians Jeff Corfield on banjo and vocals, and Michele Govan on violin, the album captures the spirit of traditional folk music with warm harmonies, vivid imagery and authentic acoustic arrangements. From the wombats of Maria Island to the pilgrim trails of Portugal, Halfway to Somewhere invites listeners on a musical journey through stories, places and people.
Places
Places is the second album, inspired by the people, places and characters that leave a lasting mark on our lives. Blending heartfelt folk ballads with reflective “stream of consciousness” songwriting, the album journeys through stories of poets, outlaws and life on the road.
Featuring atmospheric keyboard arrangements by JR and the addition of bassist Basil Harvey, the album expands the band’s rich folk sound with layered harmonies and warm acoustic textures. Standout tracks include Out on the Nullarbor Plains and Kerouac and Coffee, where the harmonies between JR and the lead vocals create some of the album’s most memorable moments.
With vivid storytelling, emotional depth and influences from Australian landscapes and global experiences, Places continues the band’s tradition of authentic contemporary folk music.
Ambushed
Ambushed is the band’s third album and takes a more introspective and reflective direction from the earlier releases. Blending contemporary folk music with haunting ballads and powerful storytelling, the album explores themes of war, soldiers far from home, personal struggles and the emotional battles people face in everyday life.
Inspired by real-life experiences gathered over many years, Ambushed captures the uncertainty, anxiety and complexity of modern life through quirky, atmospheric songwriting and deeply human stories. The album features guest musician Andrew Clermont, whose performances on seven of the eleven tracks add depth, texture and richness to the sound.
With evocative lyrics, rich acoustic arrangements and emotionally driven songs, Ambushed continues the band’s tradition of authentic folk storytelling while exploring the darker side of the human experience.
