Sounds Like
A dry dusty northerly wind sweeping accross the Australian countryside while dreaming of walking through a Highland Glen. Music to listen to in front of a blazing fire with good friends and loved ones.
Jamie's music is born from his deep love of the Scottish
Highlands mixed With a touch of good old Aussie tounge in cheek.
Jamie's approach to music is instinctual, heartfelt, and inspired.
His music asks his listeners to not only sit back and enjoy but also to feel.
Jamie's first song Dail Chuinnidh is a romantic and heartfelt ballad of life and love.
His debut CD is scheduled for release in 2009.
Jamie has had an extensive and varied career in the music and
entertainment industry
over a 20 year period. He has worked with many local Adelaide bands mixing their sound
for live gigs. Now Jamie has decided to step up from behind the mixing desk, grab his guitar and tell a few stories.
The inspiration for Jamies' music and lyrics comes from the countryside that surrounds the town of Strathalbyn where his lives with his wife, artist and poet Tikarma Vodicka.

Good set last night at Macrocarpa, Jamie, thank you for performing, and the best for today's gig too. Yes, I think a sink-the-boots-in session on the Murray would be worthwhile thinking point. We need to find a few more who've done something in despair. Lost Beyond Recall is the Lakes, you need to hear Flign Tadpole and Let's SHoot a Camel or Two.~!
Just stoppin' bye to say "hello". I hope you're doing well, and hey, I see you have some upcoming live shows---that's awesome! Let me know how they go.
Thanks so much for the kudos :) We're doing recording at the moment, lotsa nice stuff coming out. I had a listen to your stuff too, nice work :) Good mix of styles :)
Cheers man. I had a listen and it reminded me very much of growing up back in Ireland with the haunting sounds of Celtic music. I see you are from Strath i actually played soccer for Strath for many years must head up that way again soon. Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much for the support! Spread the word! Tell all your friends!
"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali
