On today's show, I chatted with local singer / songwriter, Steph Bitter. Step and her band the Bittersweets play a free gig at the Handlebar in Bendigo this Sunday. Tait Poyser kicks things off at 3pm, with Steph and the Bittersweets to follow around 4pm. We'll get to know Steph through a recorded song and two live in studio acoustic versions of other tunes from her 2022 EP, Playful Thoughts of a Sentimental Heart. I also played music by other musicians performing locally, namely The Pairs, Felicity Dowd, Maddy Petch, The Arrow of Desire. You can find out where they perform locoally via the gig guide.

I couldn't quite fit them all in, but if I interviewed an out of towner, they are probably on this play list! Tune into Phoenix FM tomorrow from 5pm.

Tune into Phoenix FM 106.7 MHz from 5pm today and hear music from Redd Kross and my interview with founding member, Steven McDonald. I kept the focus primarily on the current album, 2024s self titled double vinyl, though we did use this as a springboard to talk about big stuff. A thoroughly enjoyable chat (and I was only a little bit nervous!). Redd Kross play the on Friday March 13, though I'm catching them at for the Sunday matinee (Saturday night has already sold out!). Thanks to Dave Laing Publicity for yet again setting me up!
