I'm so excited about my new project - I have teamed up with my Dad (Poppa Bill as the kids call him) and we have made a kids/family album. It's called 'Kasey Chambers, Poppa Bill and The Little Hillbillies'. (www.thelittlehillbillies.com). It has 16 brand new songs on it that either Dad, I, Worm or his wife Bernadette or even my 7 year old, Talon, has written.
We are so proud of he the whole project! it has songs on it for little kids, big kids, parents, babies and even some songs that I'm sure my fans who don't even have kids will enjoy. There is a Christmas song on there that best describes Christmas every year at the Chambers household, a song about being scared of the dark, a song about how much your life changes after you have children (the good and the bad!) a song that Talon wrote about sometimes living at his mum's house and sometimes at his dad's house. There is even a song about a poo floating in the bathtub (which every good album needs!) and heaps more. The Little Hillbillies are my sons Talon - 7, Arlo - 2, my nephews, Eden - 6, Bela - 1, my niece Skye - 3, my brothers Jake - 6 and Tyler - 2 and my best friend's son Townes - 1. They all perform/sing (scream) on the record.
I'm also bringing out my first ever book called 'Little Kasey Chambers and The Lost Music' (both come out Nov 6th). It has been a dream of mine to make this little story idea that's been living in my head since Talon was born to come to life and I'm so proud of it!
It is a story based on me when I was 8yrs old living in the Australian Outback (like I really did!) and I go on a little adventure with my two best friends 'Froggles' based on and named by Talon and 'Worm', my real life best friend, roadie and lighting guy. We help some animals find the music they have lost. Worm's wife Bernadette wrote the book with me and was such an amazing help bringing this idea to life.
When you buy the CD you get a miniature version of the book inside and if you buy the full sized book in bookstores, you get a CD inside which contains the title track from the album, 'The Lost Music Blues' and a recording of me reading the book.
I really hope you all enjoy this new project because it has been the most fun and a dream come true for me and my family. My immediate and extended family have always been such a huge part of what I do and why I enjoy what I do so much, so it makes so much sense to me to involve them more than ever and show off how special they all are to me.
I hope that this album can help bring families together like music has brought my families together for so many generations.
Enjoy and thank you all for your endless support
Kasey xx
