Care to start with some stillness?

Paul Watling from Dusken Lights surprised us this week as a qualified mediation teacher, leading us through the beautiful stillness. Paul discusses the question of authorship over his songs, and how he is instructed by ‘the fizz’ rather than the conceptual mind. Dive down deep with us and if you’re lucky, see a few fish glowing in the dark.

What do circles have to do with songwriting...? Everything.

This week we are honoured, to have Sydney singer songwriter Georga Mulligan on Snowy Gum Presents. Off the back of her sophomore album ‘Unheaven’ Georgia shares a few songs, as Snowy tries to crack the ineffable code of her music and luckily…fails.  

Snowy Gum Presents: Love Again by Daniel Forsyth

Thirteen long years, one big Mountain. Find out why it took Dan so long to release his latest single 'Love Again'. Snowy pull out all the tools to dismantle this one; Art Therapy Degrees, The IChing, Eckhart Tolle and even a trip to The Amazon for some traditional medicine.

Look at me, don't look at me...

This week Sydney based artist Huck Hastings explores his relationship with the spotlight on Snowy Gum Presents.

In his sun filled and intentional apartment, Huck shares some live songs as well as discussing his collaborations and forthcoming album with Hackey Sack.

Come and listen to a mastermind in framing and hear Huck's unique experience and perspective on masculinity in an Australian landscape. Of course, it wouldn't be Snowy without an exclusive unreleased song 'Tommy's Funeral'.

You heard it here first!

PREMIERE ALERT!!

Maia Jelavic invites us into her painting studio in theheart of Marrickville, to premiere her new single 'Spanish Moss'.

In the first episode of Season 3, we take a deeper dive intoMaia's process as she cooly sits on the couch surrounded by her artworks. Taking a drag from her cigarette or effortlessly plucking her parlour guitar, Maia shares some songs and stories from her forthcoming album. As well as herexperience as a NAS student & life as a painter, find out how Maia put it all on the 'backburner' for a while. Only to return with a new depth and love for her crafts.

At the beginning of the year, Dan & Jordan made a commitment to do a podcast every fortnight until the end of November... they made it.

In celebration, the Snowy boys shot the final episode of Season Two underneath a Snowy Gum tree, where the Snowy Gum theme song comes to full fruition.

What’s that you say… a live studio audience?

What did we expect when Harmony Byrne invited us to stay on her and her husband's farm, somewhere in the hills of Castlemaine.

Turns out Harmony is full of surprises, including an appearance with the Teskey Brothers at Castlemaine folk festival, as well as her own rambunctious set. One thing that wasn’t a surprise was her generosity of spirit. Snowy get the real experience about as intimate as you can get it. In a mud hut, eating custard tarts and listening to the stories of a true artist.

In true Snowy Gum fashion, Dan & Jord find themselves by a river bank in Kyneton (regional Victoria) having a cuppa and a yarn with Jae Laffer.

On the second day of their road trip finale extravaganza; Jae imparts some wisdom from his experience as the front man of The Panics, on being a father, and more recently his painting and solo recordings.

Snowy's hitting the road soon for a big finale, including some huge interview that we announce on this episode. To get us going we've made a playlist of some of our favs from the last few weeks.
