News

After what seems like quite a while.... and really... it has been... the new album Collecting Cars will be available on June 1st, 2012.

The music documents the dusty inner lives of a whole range of folks that might just live in your town or at least be traveling through it. A collection of vignettes of lives lost, loves won or those that passed some by. Wry acoustic tales wrapped in a truly West Australian perspective. These songs might even be about you...

Check out the music page for more details and ordering.

In other news, Chris will be appearing at the 2012 Denmark Festival of Voice as a part of the festival's "Saturday Night Select Sounds" concert from 9.05pm. And be sure to catch Chris as part of the "Men’s Journey In Song" concert on the Sunday afternoon from 4.00pm.

For information and tickets check out the festival website.

Chris Edmondson

Specialising in what could best be described as "conversational" styled performances, the strength of this songwriter's show comes as a result of his ability to engage in banter, waffle intelligently, tell the odd story or eight, attempt to make folks laugh and cry with a self effacing wit often so dry that the tumbleweeds only blow across the stage in search of a drink, all the while exploring anything from anywhere that could be described as a story song and often beating his trusty old guitar, to make up for any lack of band, or lack of technology loosely masquerading as a band, then caressing the instrument with something more gentle on the off chance there are other guitars in the audience offended by its treatment.

Clocking up dozens of solo shows a year in a working territory that would swallow up several small warring European nations, Chris has worked the wineries, wheat-bars, festivals, folk clubs and house concerts pretty much all over the bottom left-hand corner of the continent for more than a decade. In that time there's also been reputation building marathon three and four hour shows, band stints in legendary LA clubs on desperate last ditch international tours, self-financed American cafe tours all the way back to self-promoted shearing shed concerts in country Western Australia driven only by an acoustic guitar and tales to tell.

In the meantime, go see him. He's quite good.
