about

RED DIRT TRACKS was recorded a few songs at a time when they stopped into Meanjin with long term friend and collaborator, award winning engineer Mark Smith of Real Productions.
‘Mark recorded us live and acoustically, capturing the rawness and intimacy of campsite jam sessions, where we wrote these tunes’ says Warwick ‘the songs were inspired by places we’ve had
the privilege to spend time, stories we’ve heard, by shaking up the status quo, even butterflies and blue days…’
’We’re incredibly grateful to have had Aria award winning artist Dave Steel add some subtle and beautiful slide guitar work to ‘Red Dirt, Salt Bush and Daisies’ a moving song written to honour the adventurous spirit of a woman who had passed away alone in her travelling home, at a roadside
rest stop outside of Broken Hill.
‘One More Chance’, the atmospheric video single from the album was recorded by ‘Black Box Studios’ team in a rural Far North Queensland Hall
Its rhythmic groove underpins thought provoking, topical lyrics.
RED DIRT TRACKS’ stripped back guitar, double bass and vocal blend is a grooving, soothing, sonic elixir in amongst a bustling soundscape.
