Songwriter Trysts

Singer Songwriter Zeek Power from Queensland Australia, has the voice of an angel and songwriting gifts that he shares on YouTube, Spotify, Apple music, in live performances and recently in 2019 on the Australian serious of 'The Voice'. Rae Leigh and Zeek had a quick meet before this podcast recording but didn't really know each other so as the podcast unfolds they learn more about each other and find common ground over growing up in the pentecostal church in Australia in the 90's and 2000's and the music they were exposed for example DC Talk which Zeek shows off his skills from the Jesus Freak Album. A fun chat about character, songwriting and people. They hope you enjoy it as much as they did.

Golden-guitar winning trio Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes grew up in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, but quickly gravitated to the thriving inner-city music scene.

Rae Leigh met Lachlan Bryan at the 2015 Winter singer songwriter retreat at the DAG Sheep Station in Tamworth where songwriters come together to learn, encourage, support and write with each other. 

With mentors like Lachlan Bryan and his experience and success in the songwriting industry he has some insightful advice and stories to share in his Songwriter Trysts Podcast.

Harry J Hart Joined me at my place for a chat about his life as a teen singer songwriter and guitarist on the Gold Coast. Such a good chat, he really has moved all over the place just to be able to continue to pursue his passion including busking non stop to be able to pay for his artistic education.

I saw him perform for the first time at the Home of the Arts (HOTA) workshop last year and kept running into him and his mum. They are everywhere and have more music coming and gigs so keep a watch out and support this very young talented and passionate artist.

René Le Feuvre Singer Songwriter in the Gold Coast, Australia. He grew up with skills in music and sports and was on his way to playing in the professional Australian Football League (AFL) when he reached a tipping point and had to make a decision to choose between music or his sport. In this podcast we discuss the journey he has been on to get to where he is and why he wants to fill the world with his cool rock alternative pop music and amazing charisma.  He has a star personality and a clear drive to success. His ability to connect with others in person and through social media is apparent and is reaching people more and more through the release of an EP later this year.

16 year old, Singer songwriter on our 16th episode, Briana Dinsdale joined me live for a chat about her songwriting life and aspirations, we talked about her love for Taylor Swift, her idol, Keith Urban who she got to play on stage with at his Brisbane concert when she was only 13, and nailed it!(see YouTube video here >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgI8kvca-nw ) Her confidence and loving personality shines through and was such an honour to speak to someone leading her life with such direction so early on, which is evident to have such great support and role models from her parents, especially her dad Ken. 

Briana won a grant this year and will be releasing her debut album later this year and i'm super excited to see more from her. She played one of her songs live for me on the Songwriter Trysts Facebook page so check that out here >>>  https://www.facebook.com/SongwriterTrysts

Eric Dodd is a singer songwriter from Nashville. We met through a SongTown retreat in Nashville October 2019 and got to co-write a song 'Dancing on the Moon' with Les Hauge. In this podcast we spoke more about his journey how he writes and what his journey has been to date. 

He has so many accomplishments and other than just getting a killer song while working with him I learnt a lot and wanted to share some of his wisdoms and amazing music with you guys too. If you haven't heard his voice... your missing out! It's a super sexy country style vocalist with some cheek and fun. I'm digging on his single 'Beer on the Bar' Check it out on Youtube.

Say if Dixie Chicks, Jewel, Tom Petty, and Angus and Julia Stone were jamming at a party and you had to describe that sound - you would call it.... Billie-Jo Porter.

Billie-Jo is a singer/songwriter who invites the listener to look for silver linings in the everyday.

Growing up just outside of Australia’s Country Music Capital, Tamworth, much of her younger days were sound tracked by non-stop country music including Shania Twain, Tim McGraw and Willie Nelson.

Now living on the North Coast of NSW, Billie-Jo Porter offers a unique sound by infusing a laid back beach lifestyle and her country roots.
