More than 3 years in the making and after returning to Aus from a long term stay in Europe, prolific singer/songwriter MICK HART is releasing 2 brand new albums in 2009.
Largely written in Europe and recorded in Sydney and France, MICK’s 5th and 6th studio albums showcase an enormous depth of songwriting and brilliant musicality. From the beautiful emotive folk pop of “WHAT LIES BENEATH” to the catchy hard edged rock/roots of “WHERE I GO”, both cds feature MICK with his hugely talented bandmates DAMIAN LEONARD (bass) and TONY CHUBB (drums).
All in all 27 new songs that prove this previously ARIA nominated artist is well and truly inside an inspired musical journey.
MICK is launching the first of these albums “WHAT LIES BENEATH” at THE BASEMENT on Thurs 30 April and touring nationally in May, June and July.
