Final Tim Freedman show for 2011
The Tim Freedman and The Idle whirlwind tour has come to a close, having played some 18 shows throughout November/December. I’m going to miss the company of Tim, Heath, Zoe, Dave and the awesome crew that made it all happen. Check out some of the tour pics on my Facebook page HERE. If you have some of your own, feel free to post them on my wall. Thanks to everyone who came and shared the experience and especially to those who came early for my solo sets.

New management and arts health advocacy
This week I’m proud to officially announce that I am joining forces with Emerald Violin Arts Health Management, to further explore and enhance my passion for and commitment to the improvement of community mental health through the arts. My new music manager is Emerald Violin founder and my very good friend, Emma Cother.
It’s all rather timely, given that my song “Heart-Shaped Space” has recently been synced with a new television campaign promoting a national program called Partners in Depression, which aims to support those who care for or love someone with depression. You can find out more about it here - www.partnersindepression.com.au
This week I have also been performing and presenting at the 3rd Annual International Arts and Health Conference in Canberra.
I’ve started a new page on my website called “CARE“, which outlines my interests in this area and provides some great links to information and programs related to mental health (particularly that of young people and also that of fellow musicians).

Support shows announced
I’m excited to announced that as well as performing as part of Tim Freedman’s new band “The Idle”, I will also be performing some of my own material as the opening act at selected tour dates throughout Nov/Dec in ACT, QLD, VIC, TAS, and NSW. Other support slots will be filled by Melbourne indie pop outfit Gossling, and our own Heath Cullen (The Idle guitarist).
I’m already thrilled to be joining Tim onstage as part of The Idle, but I am truly honoured to have the opportunity to play a few tunes off my EP “Sleeping Dogs Lie”, for his fans around the country. It’s going to be a real treat.
