It is with enormous sadness that we give on our condolences to Des and the family at the passing of Kathy Fennel. We the Penola Coonawarra Music Gathering Assoc. owe Kathy a huge debt of gratitude for all the support she gave us when we first floated the idea of a music festival. She was the Fundraising Chair for two festivals, and a guiding hand to our small committee. Her favourite phase was - leave it with me and whatever the problem, she fixed it.
We admired her strength of character, especially in the last few years, her generosity and her devotion to her family and town.
Vale Kathy.

I thought I would share this lovely email from Khristian Mizzi. We are going to Adelaide to see him but there are other places and performances you can see this amazing performer and all round great guy.

Hey Friends,

Its been awhile since I've updated you all here and I apologise for the long time between updates!
But I am excited about a few shows coming up I wanted to share with you all in the hope that we see each other somewhere soon in the real world!

THE STUDIO
While my Nashville recordings with Compass records is still in the waiting, I've been chipping away in the 'in-between' time at some newly written songs I hope to have ready soon with my friend Frank who produced the 'Midwinter Spring' record back in 2012 and the songs are coming along nicely. I'm also excited to be making my way north in June to record some songs with Producer and guitarist extraordinaire Rod McCormack. So I will keep you updated about all of that as it progresses.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Writing to you all here has always felt so intimate and its given me a feeling of a more personal connection that I feel so grateful for. If you're reading this, it means you've signed up to show your support and interest in my music and to me, it means the world.
While doing this, I am still working hard to grow my numbers on other social media platforms to raise the public interest in my music outside of the circle that we share here.
With this in mind, and only if you have the means and feel comfortable doing so, I'd love it if you could follow me on Instagram and/or support me on Spotify or Bandcamp.
I realise that these platforms aren't for everyone but as a musician trying to cut through the noise with my songs, I'm told by my publisher, that the first thing any agent, booker, film producer or promoter will look at is 'your numbers'. So your support on these platforms really does help a lot.

UPCOMING SHOWS

July 5 - The Palais-Hepburn (Hepburn Springs VIC)
After a wonderful show at Castlemaines Northern Arts Coolroom, I've fallen in love with that part of the world and I reached out to The Palais-Hepburn Springs. I've never been to Hepburn Springs and Im so looking forward to it. More details about that one HERE

July 13 - Arcobar with Gretta Ziller (Moorabin VIC)
I met Gretta Ziller at a show just recently and we did a little co-write together as part of her wonderful project 'The Long and Writing Road'. We had such a great time we decided to join our forces and do a show together at one of my favourite Melbourne venues. Gretta and I will share the stage in a 'Songs in the Round' exploration of Country and Folk music at Arcobar. Details HERE.

July 19 - The Murray Delta Juke Joint (Goolwa SA)
Mr dear friend Pete Titchener has been kind enough to reach out and organise a few dates over in Sth Australia in July for me. I always love returning to this part of the world, as I have met so many wonderful folks on my visits who I now call friends. This will be my first time at the Murray Delta Juke Joint and I cant wait to hear the Fiddle Chicks who will be sharing the stage with me.. I'm really excited about it. Details HERE

July 20 - Waverley Park Homestead (Willunga SA
The night after, I'll be doing a small concert with my friends in Willunga at The Waverley Park Homestead. 40 seats only.

July 21 - The Trinity Sessions (Clarence Park SA)
Its been a few years since playing at the illustrious 'Trinity Sessions', but I cannot wait to get back. This hall sounds incredible and it truly is such a beautiful experience to play for such an attentive and supportive audience. The details are HERE

With love and thanks for all the ongoing support,

What an amazing weekend it was at the Penola Coonawarra Acoustic Music Gathering! The event featured fantastic musicians, a delightful audience, and perfect weather that showcased our region beautifully. In my role as the President of the PCAMG, I want to extend a public thank you to our Major Sponsors:

The Bendigo Community Bank Penola & District for providing curtains for the Stadium and the Open Mic Marquee, serving as a community asset.
Stand Like Stone for supplying advertising flags and bollards on Church St.
Wattle Range Council for their assistance with infrastructure and funding.
All three organizations have generously supported us over the past three years. On behalf of the outgoing committee, we sincerely appreciate your support, as without it, this past weekend would not have been possible.
