Another broken Juliet

A Summer Dress of Green

Featuring Anne McCue on electric guitar, this story of star-crossed lovers evokes a Shirley Bassey Goldfinger meets Marty Robbins soundtrack for a Tarantino-esque Spaghetti Western with female leads.

Just a Heart (South of the Border Version)

When you think ‘blue’, you think lots of things - Joni Mitchell, melancholy, and Cezanne. And there's elements and echoes of all these in the latest musically and lyrically nuanced song from Tracey Bunn. It's a word portrait, it's a moody ode, it's a verbal picture, it's an image. Is it of you?

Anne McCue’s atmospheric guitars and Larrakia elder Eddie Kitching’s haunting didge provide a plaintive backdrop to a macabre tale that began with a monstrous act. 
An age-old story from the Top End, the mythical Poinciana Woman was a beautiful young Aboriginal woman who was raped by soldiers, became pregnant and took her life near a Poinciana tree, as she couldn't return to her people. 
The sun sinks into the ocean below the cliffs at East Point reserve, and the shadows of the Poinciana trees spread like dark talons over the road. Just as the curlew begins its eerie night song, the scream of a woman tears through the humid air. Out of the shadows she moves, black hair plastered to her face, her hands grasping for blood. Men's blood.

Poinciana Woman

We often leave it too late to let those we love know how we feel. Memory is precious and its loss is as devastating as burying a loved one. As the ticking clock of mortality keeps reminding us, say it NOW!

Think Mr Pike from Sgt Peppers flavoured with a dash of Charles Aznavour and a couple of Can Can girls and you’ll get a sense of this kooky murder revenge track. Featuring Gleny Rae on accordion.

With hints of Anne Murray and Brandi Carlile, the third single off the forthcoming self-produced album Another Broken Juliet, Wasted Moon features Kathryn Ezzy on piano and Lewis Parsons on viola in a sad tale of finally awakening to your relationships end whilst sitting in a church carpark watching your ex marry someone else.

Wasted Moon

The Pogues meets The Bushwackers in this rollicking tale of daylight robbery where a hapless gambler surrenders more than just their hard-earned winnings.

In Doolin and Dingle the whispers have started. 
Shaped like a fiddle you say?
Aye
And the dress?
Aye to that
Wallet?
Got took.
Same same
Brendan O’Leary spoke of a similar encounter.
Did he now?
Aye 
Did you catch a name
Never crossed my mind
Ah well
She’d have a fine collection of wallets then
That she would
Bless her!

With music that wouldn’t be out of place in a Sergio Leone western, the haunting and haunted vocals tell of isolation and the want for solitude. The polar landscape and the white walls of an institution are indistinguishable.

Part swing chanteuse, larrikin cowgirl and passionate witness, Aussie singer songwriter Tracey Bunn has spent over 20 years honing her craft, touring relentlessly in venues and festivals across Australia, Ireland, Europe and the UK, both solo and with her original band the Toe Sucking Cowgirls. Her exuberant live shows have garnered praise around the world and her songwriting has drawn a swag of awards.  Her debut album 'By The Wayside', produced by Anne McCue and recorded in Nashville with some of its’ finest musicians (including Aussie legends Bones Hillman and Mark Moffat) is a luscious blend of country, folk and pop rock, sometimes reminiscent of kd lang and Patsy Cline. 

“Her honest heartfelt songs convict her of the heinous crime of being a fine writer, observer and teller of tales. She is a woman who demands we listen and then delivers.” MAVERICK MAGAZINE UK
