TOBY BEARD

Hi lovely folks. I recently applied for a grant.. but unfortunately it was denied!

We are heading to Europe in February to tour again and we are so excited to do what we do best, but the concern is EVERYTHING has gone up in costs, except our pay! Flights, hire cars, the costs to hire amps and instruments, accom, insurance etc.
I would love to be able to pay my amazing band members in more than just an experience!

$5 buys one of us a coffee, and $20 buys us all a coffee!

If you would like to pay more, we can always send you a merch bundle!

So, we ask you - would you like to buy the band a coffee/a lunch/help fill the tank?

We always appreciate your support! Four of us Aussies will be performing 10 shows in Holland, Germany and Switzerland and spreading the Aussie love everywhere we go! Jump on board and fill our tank!! We thank you in advance!
YOU ARE AWESOME!

(any donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated!)

I wrote this rambling post while stopped at a traffic light on the way home today…. And tonight my son came out of bed telling me he doesn’t want to be ten and he doesn’t want to grow old and be an adult… because adulting is boring and too complicated. He said life can be too short and he wants to just be a kid, and I tried to explain that life is full of all the things and all the feelings and that even though it is so complicated, it is also so very beautiful and special. I also explained we can always be kids in our hearts. After a huge chat and big cuddles, we pinky promised that the two of us would always keep the cheeky child in us alive and that he could always come home as an adult at any time of the night if he wanted a hug!!

It’s true, all the feelings can be felt at once right……

My post from today…
It’s amazing how many feelings can coexist at once. I was driving home from the Blues at Bridgetown Festival today, where I experienced a really wonderful weekend with my band on an off stage. It was a weekend with music and fun and laughter and meeting some old friends and making some new friends, Nature, yummy food and creating new memories. I was able to perform two shows, which I’m really proud of. I’m really proud of the band and I’m proud of myself for what we can deliver and I felt stoked about the shows and everything that went with it. I drove home thinking, even though there’s a lot of things that I haven’t yet achieved in my career, I am so happy with what I have already achieved over the years and I have certainly lived a very interesting life through my musical adventures. All of this was happening for me, and I was also thinking a lot about my children as today is my son‘s birthday. Last week was my daughter‘s birthday. And life just comes at you doesn’t it? You have these plans and those plans don’t necessarily work out, like marriage. So here I am sharing my children for half the time and often people say to me that must be so nice to have a break from your children, and no, it is not. And no it does not get better and it does not get easier sharing your children for half the time. I’m one of those mums who wants to be with my kids as much as possible.. I think it’s great for a parent to have a break whether it be a weekend or a week or a few hours, we all need breaks. For our own sanity. But to have a break of every second week is not, as a mother what I’m longing for. So I’m excited to celebrate my birthday boy and have cuddles and cake and presents and love and to enjoy our precious time together as a family.
All of that is very very real. And then, as I’m driving along, I noticed that there is a hurst in front of me and that got me going straight to my grief. It brought me right back to my sister’s funeral with every single detail you can imagine going through my mind. And once that happens I suppose the PTSD hits in full force. And I go from feeling all this joy from this wonderful weekend of music, to complete pain and sadness and grief and wanting to scream out to the universe how unfair it is and how much I want my sister back.
Life is out of our control in so many ways. It doesn’t matter how much I desperately want her back, it can’t happen. It doesn’t matter how much I want my kids around all the time, it can’t happen. it doesn’t matter if you go into a relationship thinking it’s going to be a forever thing and it really isn’t “it” in the end and your heart gets so completely broken that you think it can’t be whole again and you know you can’t do anything about it.
This is sounding like a bit of a sad heartbroken post, I assure you I am
Also ok, but I suppose I’m saying it’s amazing that all of this can and does exist together.
When I get off stage, the majority of comments I get is people asking me how do I get the energy? How do I have such positive energy? And I believe that I do. Everything I do on stage and before and after is real. And I suppose that’s why I share these feelings with you all, because I want to be real. What’s happening on stage with the joy and the energy and the passion coming through in my performance is all deeply felt. And all this other stuff in life, which at times can which is massive and sad and overwhelming and out of control, is real as well . I am also so blessed in my life with love and family and friends and music.
Looking at the crowd over the weekend, every person has their story. And we have no idea of their story. And then sometimes we just get chatting to people and they let you in a little bit on their story it makes me realise again and again why we can’t judge people and how the most smallest of gestures can really brighten someone’s day.
What if we all were to show more random acts of kindness and gratitude towards people? What would happen If we did more of that? Now with politics and everything going on around the world, I think it’s just showing again and again that doesn’t matter who is in charge of a country etc, it is what we choose to do as individual people and what we choose to do within our own community. That’s what actually matters. I have no idea at all what this post is about. It’s a bunch of ramblings and maybe I won’t even post it, but it makes sense to you, thanks for listening! Tell me your ramblings for the day…
