Joy in the West

Hey Folks,

Hope you are all well! I just got back from an awesome week in WA.

We recorded the new single from the album "Pretty Big Mess" at Studio Couch in Fremantle. It was great to see three of my friends over there Dani, Shaun and Gav that I havent seen for way too many years!

I spent a week at Pirate Studios in NSW before I headed to the West, and the songs for the new record are shaping up really well. Damien Neil came into the studio and laid down an awesome bluesy violin solo in Deep Down, and Mandolin on Behind the Stone.

I played on the biggest stage that I have ever played on at the Toodyay Bushfire Benefit Concert last Sunday! It was so much FUN!!

Next big gig is Ruby's in Belgrave 19th February with Pugsley Buzzard. If you want to buy tix, go to http://www.moshtix.com.au/Event.aspx?id=33341&pLock=&vip=&skin=&ref=

Hope to see you guys soon.

Living in a Gypsy Caravan

Hey folks!

Hope you are all well! Happy New Year! Thought I would update on the journey so far. Im feeling so inspired by the start of this bright new year! For those of you who havent heard yet, I am living in a caravan, touring around Australia to support the release of my new album. It is such a beautiful way of life and it suits me perfectly to be on the road playing music full time! It really is all I have ever wanted to do! The tour will take in all of mainland Australia in 2010.

This morning I woke up at my mum's farm on the South coast of NSW with a misty mountain at my doorstep. I am recording the new album just down the road at Pirate Studios. I feel so blessed! This record has been shaping up for a couple of years now and I am so excited to release this group of songs to the world!!

2010 is becoming a huge year with the new record release, the national tour and fund raising concerts for the Burmese Orphans at Phaung Daw Oo. I have also been announced as a Finalist in the 2010 Toyota Starmaker competition which is very exciting!!

Baiba James of BJ Planet Star entertainment is my new manager and she is a wonderful woman! We are booking gig dates for the tour right now!

Please check out the new live recording of the first single from the album called "Pretty Big Mess" on myspace at www.myspace.com/rebeccamoore.music

This recording features Damien Neil on the banjo and was part of a live ABC interview at ABC Illawarra, NSW.

Grand Finalist Melbourne Fresh Industry Showcase

Hey everyone,

I am playing in the Grand Final of the Melbourne Fresh Industry Showcases on Tuesday 22nd Dec. The brilliantly talented Damien Neil will be performing with me at this show.

I have had a terrible time the last few weeks though. I got my wisdom teeth out and it was the worst! I have been sick from the operation since then and its pretty hard to sing at the moment, but hopefully I will be on the mend really soon!

We are starting the recording of the new album on Dec 28th 2009 which is very exciting. Luckily we are tracking the drums first so I have a bit more time to get better before I have to sing!

Just drove up from Melbourne to the south coast NSW today. We went the long way via the Hume Hwy and blew a tyre on the caravan on the way. It was a pretty spectacular blow out, tyre all over the road!!! The van has light truck tyres on it now though so I'm gonna be ok for the massive tour next year.

The best bit about the blow out was that while we were waiting for the "rack-v guy" (RACV guy-my son calls him the rack-v guy), two wedge tailed eagles flew down right above the car!!! It was pretty awesome!

Hope you are all well. Come along to Revolver on Tuesday 22nd Dec for the Grand Final if you can. We are playing at 6.30pm.

Have a good christmas and New Year folks! Hope 2010 is your best year yet!
