Australia’s favourite adopted Irish sister, Áine Tyrrell is a modern day Pirate Queen, except instead of ships, she captures audiences, one heart at a time.

After living in Australia for a decade, Irish born singer-songwriter Áine Tyrrell has carved a unique musical path melding her own Irish roots from the ancient limestone rocks of Country Clare with her respect of the red dirt roads of 60,000 years of Indigenous culture in Australia.

The 7 minute ‘cultural smackdown’ is a departure in style and tone for Áine, who gathers force in a wildly emotive spoken word rant that is reminiscent of the musical poetry of rock greats like Patti Smith.

The song came after her invitation by the Bunyarra Culture Collective to be part of the Black Lives Matter protest in June in Byron Bay. After sitting deeply with some people’s reactions that claim Irish heritage, Áine penned a 7 minute history lesson and invited The Bunyarra Culture Collective to join in on the track.

"We Call You Now" It’s not a song. It’s not a rap. It’s not spoken word but it is all those things woven together. Produced by Boundy Sound. 

"James Boundy had such an honour and respect for the spirit and culture within each word and contribution. So amazing to watch an engineer and producer like Boundy do his thing just quietly painting around the intentions of a song and bringing the best out." Aine Tyrrell

Track features Dhinawandreaming on the Yiddaki and the amazing vocals and stunning spirit of Emily Wurramara

Rachelle Jeanty and Rosie Henshaw Rayah are two Internationally acclaimed musicians, yoginis and inner peace advocates, who share sacred songs from the soul, chanting for the heart and meditation as a means of awakening the divine potential in all of us. Together they are RAYAH (the origin of this name comes from a Hebrew word meaning “friend of God”).

Prolific singer/percussionist Rachelle hails from Haiti via Montreal, now based in Europe as a performer, Gospel workshop leader, meditation teacher and public speaker. After years in the glamour world of music as a backing vocalist for Celine Dion, Rachelle chose a deeper path, which led to her spiritual awakening. Since then, her heart’s mission became to use her soulful presence and blessed gifts to serve the Divine

A childhood spent meditating at the foothills of the Himalayas in India brought multi-instrumentalist/singer Rosie a great sense of spiritual awareness and musicality. Between India, the shores of Australia and now currently Amsterdam, Rosie has found true joy in expressing her heart through performing sitar, guitar, voice and devotional songwriting – with an extensive music career in Australia performing with Shanti Fire, Old Man River, Lulu & Mischka and Ngaiire, to name a few.

The duo met by the riverside in Cabella Italy at a meditation retreat, and instantly felt swept up in the joy of devotion and commitment to serving the higher purpose. Their energies and music combine to offer nourishment to the heart and sweetness to the soul.

In addition to the musical offering of their heart & soul songs, RAYAH wish to share with you the gift of Kundalini awakening through meditation and affirmations.

"When you are in that dark bottomless pit, finding a little bit of light and focussing on that and just holding yourself, physically, metaphysically, spiritually and through community being held." Ren Stone

Ren Stone the founder of The Rhythm Hut, a community space in Gosford, Central Coast, and The Rhythm Hunters and has been gathering community, through culture, and music since he can remember. 

Ren shares very vulnerably his experience going through the darkness, and how he found hope and was able to find a way to see the light again, and share his experiences through songwriting, and his long love with the healing of music and sound vibration. 

Ren shares how he started writing songs that resonated with how he was feeling at the time, when he spent time in hospital when he had lost hope. In our chat Ren shares vulnerability his journey and how how he found a silver lining in the challenges he faced.

Ren Stone is a newly developed project by infectious multi instrumentalist and founder of world music group Rhythm Hunters. Ren Stone AKA Rendra Freestone brings a fresh lyric based sound to folk and conscious roots music.

Ren Stone’s project takes him back to his roots as songwriter and folk musician.

Operating on the same festival circuit as the likes of Trevor Hall, Rising Appalachia, Oka, Xavier Rudd and Tubby Love, Ren Stone sets to inspire introspection and change with music informed by his personal journeys, philosophies, travels and experiences.

Latest release "This place your soul" produced by Danielle Caruana (Mama Kin)

To capture Valentina Brave's voice and music is to hitch a ride in Persephone's Ute, having burned across the darkest night of the soul, picked up the Virgin Mary herself to ride shotgun, with Betty Davis on the bonnet.

Her vintage rock, murder ballads and soul anthems come directly from the underworld. These are transformative songs that will spit you out the other side of a journey that may begin in suffering, but ends in a melodic freedom. Brave makes vulnerability her ally, a powerful medicine in these times.

An artist worth witnessing, Brave shared the stage with global luminaries Michael Franti, Jackson Browne and Juanes at Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festival when Franti invited her to perform for his main stage closing set. With overwhelming response, it was a landmark moment in the evolution of powerhouse vocalist, improviser and world class artist.

Her Debut EP Wildflower, produced by aria nominated musician Danielle Caruana (Mama Kin), as the title suggests, is indicative of what grows out of human heartache. Wildflowers grow in graveyards, sprung from grief, their beauty bleeding unapologetically into the earth. Like these plants, Brave is a resilient feminine force.

"Kali is about the base chakra, I actually feel 2020 is like a Kali year. Finances, security, belonging, tribe, health and wellbeing, all base chakra issues, and I had to deal with all of that in my life and just get right back to basics, take back all of those responsibilities and change my approach of a lot of things that needed to be working and needed to shift" Alana Fairchild

"Be the change that you want in the world, the covid situation has given us time to reflect on everything about our lives like that and there are so many ways, and so as long as you're clear on what your own personal belief systems is and what is really actually important to you at your core, there are so many things you can do, little things, little elements in everything you do everyday  that can be specifically tuned towards potentially contributing in benefit in some way."

Boundy shares many experiences behind the scenes of an audio engineer and as a student and teacher of sound, he shares that having empathy, knowing and valuing your time and worth, and having patience are key qualities to sustain a healthy career as a sound engineer both on the road and in the studio.

I asked Boundy how we can best support him moving forward and he answered

"By supporting the musicians that mean something to you and you feel passionate about,  it gives me an environment to still work in." James Boundy

"It’s one thing to just stop physically but all of the planning and everything that usually comes along with that all disappeared as well, so it was actually literally sitting still for the first time in as long as I can remember, its an intimidating change when its very different to what you are used to, I am used to not being in the same place for a long period of time, like lots of transport, like lots of planes and buses and all that sort of stuff. The work side of things is one thing but it was also a great upheaval of the entire lifestyle its the most time Ive been home in like forever" James Boundy
