Hey y'all. This is the first track I am uploading onto Soundcloud. I wrote this back in 2012 when my Grandfather lost his battle to cancer. I was so devastated at his loss that I wanted to honour him in some way. This is what I have finished up with. Hope you enjoy it and give it a share! Thanks heaps.

Windswell - The Price of Fame (teaser)


A mysterious cover of the classic song "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. Tessa Davis supplied her amazing, powerful voice, rhythm guitar, slide guitar, and drum beat for the song while I lay down the countdown and the guitar solos. This cover is being used for the "WA Loves David Bowie" event, a fundraiser where all the proceeds go to the bushfire victims down south. Please give this song a like and a share and support the cause. Love y'all <3

Space Oddity - Tessa Davis Feat. Rio Tana

Hey guys! So while I've been bogged down with Hay Fever and stuff, I decided to start recording some demos of future songs on the Acoustic. This may feature on our second album. As of the date uploaded, I have yet to find a title or lyrics for this song, so this is as raw as it gets. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer from myself, and my band, Windswell, in the coming weeks.

Cheers :)

Million Miles Away (Instrumental Acoustic Demo)*Windswell*

This is an updated version of a track I wrote earlier this year while on a trip to the Margaret River region. I walked from Sugarloaf Rock to a surf spot about a 30 minute walk from there, hence the title. It was getting rather late in the day and, as time wore on, I paced with more urgency.

Dark clouds were gathering on the horizon and the set waves were marching in, one after the other, smashing into the cliffs below me. The winding, hilly path seemed to have no end.

When I finally reached the break, I breathed a huge sigh of relief, paddled out and surfed some of the best waves of my life to this day. It inspired me to create this track. 

Please give it a listen, like and share. I appreciate it so much. Enjoy :)
