There is a lovely quote about art and how it is the way we choose to decorate space, with that considered then naturally music is how we can decorate time...This conjures up thoughts and visions of being some kind of metaphysical interior designer of sorts?!
.
.
.
It pops into my mind often as I think about curation for any given event or opportunity to share the music that I love, I think of the physical space, those who will likely seek it out and the kind of experience they might like to have depending on time or circumstance...
.
.
.
When given the honour to warm up the stage for Opiuo, Jordan Dennis and Mood Swing & Chevy Bass at The Princess Theatre last month I felt a lot of feelings! First there was excitement, pride and shock which was closely followed by fear, harsh self judgement and doubt all tainted by a solid dose of impostor syndrome.
.
.
.
But when I stepped outside of my mind for a minute I genuinely knew that I could do it, I had all I needed to set the tone and style the evening decorating both time and space thanks to the beautiful music that had already found it's way to me. 
.
.
.
Now on the other side of the experience I am pretty damn proud and so so grateful for all the friends who made the extra effort support me in their own special way whether it was during the lead up, in the flesh on the night or the days and weeks that followed as I reflected on it all 
.
.
.
I have since enjoyed so many rich conversations about the art of performance from those in the know farther along the path than I am now. It has provided me with comfort, perspective and hope for the future as I anticipate a greater sense of ease to eventually be possible for me on stage.
.
.
.
As always my deepest most heartfelt thanks to the original creators of the tracks selected for this offering, each and every one of them has been recognised by my soul as the medicine it needed at any given time...an inner intelligence at work that is far beyond the scope of my imagination but much appreciated all the same.

⫷OPIUO⫸⚬⫷ A Shape of Sound Tour ⫸⚬⫷Opportunitea⫸

⫷Rhythmic remedies lovingly woven as a direct transmission from my heart to yours with each offering unique unto itself representative of a time and place, an experience shared in a particular space curated with whatever is capturing my attention around that time for all the right reasons then paired with a pun just for funnnn⫸

There is one thing we can all agree on, and that is Shady Lady brings a unique blend of soul and authenticity to the table. Her cup is filled with what has historically been described as "movement medicine" containing "Les notes qui font du bien" (The notes that feel good) with a hefty dash of eastern influenced bass, nostalgic treasures from the past and reminders of the natural world that can't help but wrap you up with a warm embrace.  
.
.
.
Her live offerings take you on a journey…in the beginning all sultry and smooth but then buckle up before you start travelling comfortably in the mid tempo lane because after that you’ll be picking up pace. Before you know it you’ve swerved into to funkier and frothier territory and all of a sudden those gentle sways from the start become a distant memory and there might not be any coming back!
.
.
.
A Shady Lady set gives the audience the time and freedom to find their inner groove, to express themselves and explore new moves...and if at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and chai again! 
.
.
.
The experience (often accompanied by a deeeelish tea service mid set) has been enjoyed at Earth Frequency, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Grounded Permaculture Gatherings, West End Fire Fest, SWELL Sculpture Festival, Elements, Island Vibes, Modifyre and Initiation just to name a few as well as many a Wonky Queenslander event being a dedicated resident disk jockey and pineapple counter 🍍✨
.
.
.
Most recently she has found herself an opening act niche setting the tone and warming up the stage for the likes of Opiuo, Jordan Dennis, Mood Swing & Chevy Bass, Father Funk, The Sponges, B'Rock'n Radley, WBBL, Rumpus, Tha Fun Police and Butterz with whispers of more collaborations and opportuniteas on the horizon 🫖
.
.
.
So if this sounds like your cuppa tea then be sure to keep your ears open for all that is yet to be in store on this shady adventure into the unknown!
