Band Members	The Autumn winds can carry me away Coz I'm tired of the things I have to face today The Autumn Winds can carry me along Lose me in the mountain range So they can say I've gone... I'll find rest in the mountains blue Far away from you Where my body lie Becoming part of the ground Forever looking at the sky And to finally be still And let passers pass me by And be on their way For there's only one place Where I'm gonna stay today Undisturbed and finished I'll lie throughout the day While people eat and drink in town Three kilometres away They don't know about me This is where i died All they care about Is finishing their cigarette So they can get back inside...

About Chris Gillespie & The Wandering Hands

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

Deep, deep in the forest live the vehicles of folk noir....."Chris Gillespie tells stories of everyday Australian expieriences, unrequited love, dogs and the cockatoo that owns the M2, all delivered with a bit of a country storytelling feel you might associate with Jeff Lang's vibe and an Australian singing accent akin to that of Darren Hanlon or Paul Kelly.The music is a perfectly relaxed acoustica, with excellent space created for the suspense and emotion that comes through in the songs. Nice mandolin, slide guitar, harmonica and sparse backing vocals all help to create this space and the sort of feel that many artists could learn from. - Glen Mcvey ('The Stix' magazine) "Chris Gillespie sings about the displacement of cockatoos, global warming and renewable energies. He's a fingerpickin, harmonica playing troubadour. He might even be Sydney's answer to Bob Dylan..." - Dave Regos (FBi Radio 94.5 FM) "Chris Gillespie is a unique Australian voice painting local landscapes with mirth and melancholy. His gentle vocals overlay fine fingerpicking textures that draw you into the stories. Gillespie's band, 'The Wandering Hands' play with sensitivity to his purpose laying haunting beds over which his yarns are spun" - Fred Smith "His songs have a freshness and simplicity about them that makes him stand out from the mass of singer/songwriters out there." - Malcom Fielding (92.1 FM Hobart Radio) "Bringing a little class to the evening Chris Gillespie and his Wandering Hands in usual form as the true troubadours of Sydney music. I personally just love this guy. I want to keep him in my pocket so he can give me guidance during the day. I Loved 'The Road to Tamworth' and the song about breaking someone's arm." - Maxine Kauter "Fucking insane... like the Richard Brautigan of folk...well done!" -Johnathon Leonard - "Chris Gillespie & The Wandering Hands have fast become the darlings of the national folk and roots scene. With standout performances in 2008 at the Blue Mountains Music Festival and the National Folk Festival, Gillespie style has won over audiences with both its honesty and simplicity" -Matt Ellis (The Ellis Collective) To keep up to date with upcoming events via email, join the Chris Gillespie & The Wandering Hands Newsletter.
