VIP SCOOP - Lyhra Album Launch Celebrations and More News!
Soooo much to share!!
FIRST… your VIP invitation!
Lyhra — my vocal trio with the brilliant Brianna Cowlishaw and Sam Walton — is launching our Live at Church Street album this August, and we don’t want to do it alone.
As well as our own fascination with harmony, all three of us work with choirs and vocal groups, and we love the energy that comes from community singing. So we’re bringing that spirit to our album launch celebrations!
We’re hosting special half-day singing workshops, and you’re invited. Come sing with us, dive into lush harmonies, explore tone and blend — and BONUS - if you're keen, join us on stage at one of our upcoming launch gigs!
Spaces are limited, so GRAB YOUR TIX NOW!
WOLLONGONG WORKSHOP - SUN 20TH JULY
CANBERRA WORKSHOP - SAT 9TH AUGUST
Also,
Did you know I’ve started a YouTube channel for kids?
Singing FUNdamentals is my playful and practical YouTube channel made especially for young singers aged 6–12 (and the grown-ups guiding them!). With original warm-ups, sing-along adventures, and voice science made fun, it’s an evolving channel all about helping kids explore their voices with confidence, curiosity, and joy. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just love to sing, you — or your budding superstar — might dig it! Check it out, pass it on, subscribe and build vocal skills while having a whole lot of fun.
Exciting news! Crisis of Confidence — a deeply personal track from my EP Pockets — placed 4th in the 2025 Australian Songwriting Awards (Open Category).
If you haven’t had a chance to listen yet, there’s no time like the present 😉 Pockets is a collection of songs that trace the messy, beautiful business of life — our history, change, self-doubt, and the finding your way through.
UPCOMING GIGS – GET TO IT!
Whether you want to sing along or simply soak up the music, I’d love to see you at a show!
New performances are added as they’re confirmed, so feel free to bookmark the gigs page and check back regularly for updates:

Musings…
I can’t believe it — my boy turned 18!!
That well-worn phrase, “Long days and short years,” comes to mind.
With close friends and family deep in the throes of baby and toddler-dom, I’m often reminded just how demanding this parenting gig is — the heart-bursting joyfulness… and the soul-wearying relentlessness of those early years, when you can feel like a shadow of your former non-parent self, and the whole world seems to turn differently.
And now — this next phase.
Older ‘kids’ and all the new fears, hopes, dreams, concerns, and pride-bursting moments unfolding.
The many wishes I have for my son and daughter’s lives now drifting inevitably out of my (control-freak) hands and into theirs.
The sweet melancholy of that...
And the gift of it.
Tender threads of space weaving themselves into my emotional and creative worlds...
Yep. It’s a ride.
I hope that you are finding joy in yours.
Sending you love and light as we keep breathing through it all.
