8CCC Big Brekky

Raechel Whitchurch explores the reality of long-term love in her new single ‘Untangled’. She joined the Big Brekky Show to chat about it and her 2023 plans. An alt-country singer-songwriter who grew up in regional NSW, she found her love of country music while performing in her travelling country family band for most of her childhood.

Andy’s Big Brekky Show spoke with Ryan Daykin, a Victorian-based country artist, who has just announced his new single, 'Playing with Fire'. This is an uplifting, fresh country-pop track. The song was produced by the industry renowned, MSquared Productions.

On Andy’s Big Brekky Show we have a local singer songwriter, and music therapist Alison Mapleson. Alison is reliving a great Irish acapella song called ‘Sean Nos’. 

Mural artist Tamara Cornthwaite and NTG NXT Gen ARTS grant recipient Aaliah Anderson join the Brekky Show to talk about the Artship Youth Mural Project. The project offers free painting workshops as part of the ASTC and Central Craft youth holiday program. The Artship is a 10m shipping container converted into a portable art studio, which will be painted at Central Craft before being transported to the Todd mall. The planned Artship mural is based on the Yeperenye sculpture at Araluen. Tune in to hear more.

The Big Brekky Show spoke with Andy Thompson, one three men who are part of The Acoustimen along with Dallas Atkins and Alex D Smith. They have been in the music industry awhile and are all drawn together to make good country music with a message. Their latest release is called 'In The Shed'.
