Content Source: OztixJoin us for an intimate evening of music and stories as acclaimed West Australian folksinger Jack Davies performs live, accompanied by the shimmering harmonies of Anna Schneider and Claud Tero. The trio will be performing songs from their new album A Gust Of Wind Knocks Off My Hat, as well as a few older favourites.
Jack says In August 2025, we spent three days at JB's studio. An old cottage on Yugambeh country, nestled deep in the winding hills and bushland. Cows mooed in the morning, dogs barked in the afternoon, and the rhythm of not so distant road trains and motorbikes kept us company all day through. We recorded live takes late into the evenings, broken by warm dinners around the fire and listen throughs on the porch. Claud and Anna first heard (most of) the songs a day before the session, so with lyrics in hand we improvised and laughed our way through many of the attempts. This was not (entirely) a fault of preparedness but rather a hope to capture something dear, the sharing of music with friends, to have room to play around with the songs, to not get caught up in the overthinking of it all. I adore their musicianship and willingness to improvise. I find songs have a way of running away if you rehearse them too much, but these still feel very much close to heart. Anyway, thats my ramble. I truly enjoyed making this record, thank you to JB, Claud, Anna and everyone who helped put it together. And thank you for listening, I hope it brings a little joy.
A Gust Of Wind Knocks Off My Hat will be released October 30th 2025, with vinyl distributed via Flippin Yeah Records.
