🎥 A Tiny Vinyl Session — celebrating musicians through live performance and conversation.

#TinyVinylSessions #AshSmith #AirlieBeach #WhitsundaysMusic #LiveMusic #AustralianMusic #SamFender #AcousticCover

Fox (Karrie Moore) performs stripped-back acoustic covers of Paramore's "Still Into You", Seal's "Kiss From A Rose", and Pink's "Glitter In The Air" — recorded live at Whisper Restaurant And Gin Bar in Airlie Beach, Queensland.

As the front woman of two regional bands (The Fox and Golden), Karrie Moore is one of the busiest working singers in the Whitsundays. In this Tiny Vinyl Session, she steps away from her usual high-energy band stages for an intimate solo set and a candid conversation with host Nick Di Gregorio about life as a full-time gigging musician in regional Australia.

Across the episode, Karrie opens up about juggling two bands and a tattoo career, the changing etiquette of pub gigs in the social media era, why supportive bandmates matter more than elite musicianship, and how a CD handed to a music shop in 2011 turned into a 14-year career in Airlie Beach.

Recorded live at Lola’s Bar in Airlie Beach — an intimate late-night space at the heart of the Whitsundays music scene — this session features Paul Fergus Morris, captured in a stripped-back setting that moves fluidly between performance and conversation.

Paul performs three songs live inside the venue, followed by a relaxed, wide-ranging conversation with host Nick Di Gregorio about building a sustainable life in music. Together, they unpack the realities of full-time gigging — from booking momentum and learning a new scene, to the balance between pressure, fear, and trust in your own ability.

Across the episode, they explore Paul’s journey from Melbourne and regional Victoria into North Queensland, his background in acting and how it informs musical performance, and why community, consistency, and adaptability matter more than chasing any single version of “success.”

Chris performs “Skin”, “If I Were the Devil”, and “Coal”, captured live inside the venue, followed by a relaxed, musician-to-musician conversation with host Nick Di Gregorio.

Across the episode, the two explore the realities of gigging full-time — from learning how loud is too loud, to finding the balance between pressure and relaxation in performance. They talk about building a career across the UK, Melbourne, and North Queensland, navigating burnout and vocal health, and how different music scenes shape both the work and the musician.

⸻

🎥 A Tiny Vinyl Session — celebrating Australian musicians through live performance and conversation.

Recorded live at Paddy’s Shenanigans in Airlie Beach — a late-night home for live music in the Whitsundays — this session features songwriter Matt Angell, performing three originals in an intimate, stripped-back setting between conversation.

Matt plays “Been All Around”, “For You”, and “Johanna”, captured live inside the venue, followed by a relaxed, musician-to-musician chat with host Nick Di Gregorio.

Across the episode, the two explore 20+ years of Airlie’s evolving music scene, from the band-heavy early 2000s to the rise of DJs and loopers, life as a travelling musician, writing songs between gigs, and the beauty of imperfect recordings. They also dive into Matt’s influences, project-building, and why cohesive albums still matter in a singles-driven world.

⸻

Recorded live at KC’s Bar & Grill in Airlie Beach — a long-time home for local music — this session features songwriter Scotty Wilson, performing three originals in an intimate, stripped-back setting before settling in for a candid conversation.

Scotty plays “Autumn”, “The Storm”, and “Whisper”, captured live inside the venue, followed by a relaxed chat with host Nick Di Gregorio once the performance wraps and the space quietens down.

The two dig into the rise of original music in Airlie, early musical roots, busking days, travel stories, community, collaboration, and the surprisingly deep rabbit hole of gig rigs, trolleys, amps, and the little bits of gear that make a musician’s life easier.

• Why original music is finally gaining momentum in Airlie
