It’s called Exhale and was written especially for weddings. It has had a lot of interest from brides wanting to buy it for their wedding day! So last weekend I went to a local studio and recorded it properly! It’s currently being mixed and mastered in Sydney and then………. Going on iTunes!!! Super excited! I’ll also be featuring at the Byron Bridal Showcase on the 21st of July!

Style Me Pretty blog has done a feature on the video shoot – check it out here!

So over the weekend just gone, I flew down to Sydney to go to APRA Song Summit!

Highlights of the weekend were……

Friday: Hanging out with Josh Pyke and Bluejuice and writing a song!

Saturday: Seeing W A S H I N G T O N play with fireworks going off – as well as getting a photo with the most beautiful Clare Bowditch!

Sunday – being approached by TWO producers, getting some great feedback and ideas for my song ‘Stay the Night’, watching (and hi-5ing) San Cisco, and listening to Imogen Heap’s magic… Ended the night with some fun with new friends – Samuel Cole & The Mornings, Argentina (who both won the Triple J sessions with Gotye today!), as well as some other amazing musicians… it was so sad to say goodbye to everyone!!!

So inspired to go write music now – if only I didn’t have school!

So, here’s to the year of twenty-twelve, which is off to an almighty start!

News:

I’ve written and recorded an original song for my beautiful friend Sasha Phillips, called Listening, which you can check out here…

I’ve also just covered 2 other songs (an Adele, and an ‘Ou Est Le Swimming Pool’ :P ) which are set to go up on my youtube channel within the next few days!

Gig-wise, this coming Sunday afternoon (the 8th of January) I will be playing at the Beef and Beach Restaurant (above Lennox Hotel) between 1.30 and 3.30pm for the late-lunch set! Come on over if you’re at the beach or just looking for a place to hide from the heat!!!

Love

Christmas carols to sink a boat (or a sleigh), we listened to Meatloaf while
decorating……… Haha :)

Sunday, I’m playing at the Beef and Beach in Lennox, from 1.30 to 3.30! I’ve
been finding new materials, as well as dusting off some old favourites! Who
doesn’t love some Norah Jones on their Sunday afternoon.

Not to mention, I finally discovered the song that I’ve been desperately
seeking… Apparently, no-one knows the song that goes “and iiiiiiii, da
daaa, da daa”…

To Build a Home – The Cinematic Orchestra. I definitely recommend it. It’s
beautiful!!!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!

genre for 2 consecutive weeks, Eliza Dear has started gigging!

My first real proper gig was on the 1st of September, at Harvest Café in
Newrybar, where I supported my ArtStart mentors, Melia and Nerida Naughton,
from Scarlett Affection! It was such a fantastic night, and the girls played
brilliantly! I was so happy with the way I performed – I felt like I played
well.

I also performed an hour set at the Sample Food and Lifestyle Festival on
September 10! This was such a great atmosphere, and I really enjoyed
performing for such a large group of people!

I’ve written a couple of new songs, and am still enjoying playing at Open
Mic Nights! I’m really looking forward to the holidays (hello sun!), and I’m
going to start looking for regular gigs in café’s and restaurants!

Love
E xx
