I am still on a high after the gig last night at Annalakshmi with Raleigh, Matt and Vinod. You guys rock!! Our special guest musicians blew me away too. Big love and thanks to Vicky on tabla, Julian on didge. Yamina mesmerised the crowd and band with her unique and amazing fusion of world dancing. I want to to it again!

I think the band has decided that the south west of Western Australia is one of the most beautiful parts of the world. We have been blown away with some of the locations we have performed at so far. Essperence, Hopetoun. Bremer Bay, Albany and Denmark just to name a few. We managed to visit the famous waverock at Hyden on our way back to Perth.
Arrived in Bremer Bay this afternoon after some wonderful shows in Hopetoun and Ravensthorphe. One of the most beautiful places we have been. Amazing! Caught the sunset on the beach with Raleigh, Matt and Vinod.
5 shows down, 61 to go. We have been blessed with amazing weather and warm friendly folk around Esperence and now in Hopetoun. An amazingly beautiful part of the world. Great to be enjoying it with a great crew.
3 new Amanaska singles from the new album are available now on iTunes. 2 collaborations with Nfa Jones (1200 Techniques) and one with the ever lovely Diana May Clark. The new album Escape will be released in September. Click on the link below to check them out.
Amanaska will be touring in Western Australia with Musica Viva in Schools in August, with 65 shows in 32 days! Looking forward to seeing the south west and being back in Perth again.
