Singer does local gig
Horsfield Bay singer Ms Tracy Redhead performed at Lizotte's restaurant in Kincumber for a Live N Local gig on October 21.
Ms Redhead performed alongside other musicians on the night including Random Ryde and the Sunpilots.
The singer-songwriter recently moved to Horsfield Bay from Newtown after releasing her debut album Walking Home A Different Way.
From her beginnings in suburban Perth as a self taught guitarist at the age of 15, to her 1998 Western Australian tour as a 19-year-old with John Butler, to a trans-continental crossing to set up camp in Sydney in her early 20s, Ms Redhead has covered some ground.
A labour of love that almost turned into a full time hobby, her new album was written, refined, and recorded over a period of about two years with drummer and producer Tim Powles of The Church.
Ms Redhead played as many of the instruments as she possibly could, and did the majority of lead and rhythm guitar parts.
Her new band was predominantly formed before these recordings, but now features electronic producer Sofie Loizou on synthesizers.
"Working with Tim gave me the biggest learning curve ever as a musician/songwriter," Ms Redhead said.
"He really waited until the moment was right to record and managed to always find the magical take or part.
"He is such a creative and supportive producer that makes sure you can create an album that you can be proud of."
