Quick update
Hi all,
Just wanted to touch base and see how everybody is coping with social isolation! It's a bit weird for me, as for other musicians, from the top of the tree on down. All live performances cancelled, including one my indie band The Idea of Light had last Sunday and a few solo ones I had coming up.
The Hillbilly Hoot (a live open mike on community radio station 3D in Adelaide) is no longer live, with people recording live performances to be aired in the usual time slot of Monday 8 - 9 pm (Australian Central Summer Time). I've recorded live videos in my living room of a couple of new songs and will put them on my Facebook page soon; just search @JRobinsSolo on Facebook to check them out. I'll also put them on my YouTube channel.
In the meantime, I'm checking out living room performances from some favourite artists of mine: Elvis Costello and Richard Thompson are but two.
At the moment, my gig at the Wheatsheaf in Adelaide on 4 September is still on, and hopefully it will stay that way. I'll keep you posted.
Keep safe everybody; remember, we may be distant now, but when this is all over, we can come back together again around music and with joy!
Cheers,
Jack
