Day 17 of 365 Covers Purge. Been playing this song for ages but always shied away cos of the higher belt of the chorus, only in the past few years feel a little more confident to smash it out. Classic reharming in the verses... basically reharm a little in every tune. Poolside Hamilton Island 05/01/2022 #365dayscoverspurge

Day 16 of 365 Covers Purge. A surprisingly fun song to play. Poolside Hamilton Island 05/01/2022 #365dayscoverspurge

Day 15 of 365 Covers Purge. No diggity is another fun reharm for me. Also taking that initial backing vocal line, putting it onto the guitar. Love the natural 6 stops in the verses. I think this is the only day through the busy season my head voice was vaguely working. Poolside Hamilton Island 05/01/2022 #365dayscoverspurge

Day 14 of 365 Covers Purge. Soul Sister is a fun tune to mix up harmonically, I like to reharmonise on the fly and see what works and build on it every time so it ends up slightly different every time, for better or worst. Also taking a half time feel in the first few chorus's that bring in the audiences attention with the slight variation and bringing in the original feel for the last chorus for a lift.

Day 13 of 365 Covers Purge. The Kooks and the album 'Inside Out' was one of those bands I started listening to when I was deep in the Classical and Jazz world, it was the few albums I listened to that was actually apart of my age groups staple listening. It also became one of those songs that pushed against my understanding of conventional song structures, like other indie artists like The Shins and Ben Howard, made me interested in how bending of convention mixed with repetition in subtle ways can be effective song writing.

Day 12 of 365 Covers Purge. First played this tune on my first ship contract playing guitar with some absolute legends, absolutely loved this tune and when I started singing it was one of the first I wanted to learn. Poolside Hamilton Island 05/01/2022 #365dayscoverspurge

Day 11 of 365 Covers Purge. A Classic Banga, love playing over this tune. Beach Pavilion Hamilton Island 05/01/2022

Day 10 of 365 Covers Purge. This was the most requested Aussie song working on cruise ships and overseas, for some reason this was a massive one lolz. Poolside Hamilton Island 03/01/2022

Day 9 of 365 Covers Purge. How Sweet it is reminds me of driving down Nepean highway in Mornington, listening to the best of James Taylor when I was around 13/14. I didn't know it was a Marvin Gaye tunes for years. Some messy bits in the guitar solo but what ya gonna do! (besides word harder and get better) Poolside Hamilton Island 03/01/2022

Day 8 of 365 Covers Purge. This tune reminds me of Perth summers. Voice was fried so wish I could do the normal head voice stuff at the end but I lose my head voice so often that waiting for that perfect day when I'm feeling great vocally is so rare its ridiculous.

Day 7 of 365 Covers Purge. This was first song I ever tried learning to sing back in the day, I remember feeling so uncomfortable and uncoordinated, especially cos I was in 3rd year uni for Jazz Guitar (think like 2012??), so anxious about my house mates overhearing as well... I definitely only tried a few times then didn't try singing for another year. Poolside Hamilton Island 03/01/2022

Day 5 of 365 Covers Purge. Poolside Hamilton Island 01/01/2022 Always waiting to record the best version of this song and it never arrived, so instead of holding on to that idealised version here one with a bunch of kinks

Day 4 of 365 Covers Purge. Poolside Hamilton Island 26/12/2021. Vocals are a bit fried from over gigging a little rest so wasn't really happy with some of the singing... but perfectionism is the root of a whole bunch of never putting things out... so there it is!

Day 3 of 365 Covers Purge. Poolside Hamilton Island 26/12/2021. A few funky (not in a great way spots)
