1st take 4-track demo recorded May 2014
Written in Berlin, December 2013
Vocals and guitar recorded together after listening to original idea on phone recorded from a few months before, 2nd guitar part improvised, bass played through a Vox amp with reverb, cajon improvised with a couple rhythmic hiccups but the idea is there, Neil Young (Til The Morning Comes) comes in at the end on my phone ringtone cos I forgot to turn it off, but it all sits together as a beautiful accident good enough for a demo until I get around to recording it properly.  No adjustments were made to the levels of each track either, so the vocal kinda sits in the front a bit cos I was recording in my walk-in wardrobe.

Lyrics:

your touch
your smile
the glimpse of hope
that´s in your eyes
when you dance
with your  hanging down
and you move
without a care for anyone around
you change my mood
you change my view
you were so right
you were so damn right
...
why you gotta let a good thing go?

Let A Little Light In (from Weird Ones EP)

Michael Brinkworth is a Berlin-based, world-travelling, guitar and harmonica wielding troubadour, originally hailing from Australia, with a backpack-full of heart-felt road-worn songs. He has honed a unique songwriting and performing style and developed his own idiosyncratic take on alternative-folk with a country-soul twist. His sound is equally at home with the classic generation of singer-songwriters of the 60s and 70s and the lo-fi pop-infused indie rock and alternative country eras of the late 80s and 90s, with an authenticity and candidness to match. Sustained by his ever-evolving set that is as diverse as it is dynamic, he enjoys taking his audiences on a journey that gets down to the heart of everything, keeping it spontaneous and making every concert a new experience.

With Fritjof Brandt on pedal-steel and electric guitars and Tim Granbacka on organ, keys, bass and backings, aka The Finnish Addition, he has developed a more intricate indie-country-soul sound first realised on the Weird Ones EP - a lo-fi collection of songs recorded one night on a 4-track tape recorder in late 2016.  This EP and the previous EP, Stranger, are available on all major online stores and streaming platforms.  With long-time bandmates, Hal Strewe on bass, Stefan Breganzer on drums, the more recent addition of Frank Dasent on trombone, his full band line-up is a solid-6-piece, which is sometimes complimented with a revolving cast of guest musicians.  His latest album, Somewhere To Run From, was released with Greywood Records on October 20th, 2017, with a live concert release of his full band in their prime coming soon after.  He will be touring this album solo and with various formations of the band throughout Europe and Australia into the new year, with another album already on the way for 2018.
