THEY WALTZED WITH MATILDA

Alan Percy

Alan Percy is an accomplished Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose journey from respected sideman to solo artist has been more than five decades in the making. Throughout his career, Alan has built a strong reputation both in Australia and internationally, performing alongside and supporting many of the country’s most notable artists.

 

As a songwriter, his work has been widely recognised, with songs recorded by other performers, earning award nominations, wins, and chart success. His ability to craft meaningful, emotionally resonant songs has been a defining feature of his career.

 

Alan’s debut solo single, “They Waltzed With Matilda,” marks a significant milestone in that journey. Written in response to the tragic events at Bondi in October 2025, the song was composed just two weeks after the incident and reflects a deeply personal response to a moment of national grief. Raw, heartfelt, and reflective, the piece captures a shared sense of loss while honouring the resilience and spirit of the Australian community.

 

Encouraged by those who believed the song needed to be heard, Alan stepped into the studio to record what has become both a tribute and a message of unity. After fifty years in music, his solo work brings together passion, storytelling, and a deep sense of national pride.

CJ Garton delivers a witty, high-energy country anthem with “Long Story Short,” blending classic storytelling with traditional country attitude. Built around a clever “yada yada” hook, the song follows the unraveling of a relationship through humorous, relatable moments—lost fishing trips, pink walls, and a sold recliner—leading to a liberating, tongue-in-cheek ending. Driven by strong melodies, playful lyrics, and an authentic outlaw-country edge, the track showcases CJ’s natural charisma and down-home charm. Fans of personality-driven, radio-friendly country with a traditional backbone and modern polish will connect instantly. “Long Story Short” fits seamlessly on playlists highlighting contemporary country, working-class anthems, and clever storytelling songs.

 Allow me to introduce you to Bee Smith!

https://www.facebook.com/beesmusicofficial/
Independent UK country artist Bee is set to release a deeply moving rendition of Willie Nelson’s classic Always on My Mind — a release with purpose that goes far beyond the music. Timed for Dec 2025, Bee’s version aims to raise awareness around mental health and honour those affected by suicide. “This song has always carried a message of love and reflection,” Bee shares, “and I wanted to dedicate it to anyone who’s ever lost someone, or struggled in silence themselves, particularly over the festive season.”

To coincide with this release, Bee is starting a "Light A Candle campaign" across her social media, which aims to keep the conversation going by asking the public to light a candle in support of mental health.  A portion of proceeds from the Light a Candle merchandise collection will go toward mental health and veteran charities in both the UK and US, as Bee continues to use her platform to encourage open conversations and compassion in a world that often forgets to check in.  Bee says, "Mental health touches every one of us in some way. Always on My Mind is my way of saying, ‘You matter, and you’re not forgotten', particularly in the season that can feel extremely isolating for those who are struggling".

Thank you, 

Kayden Gordon
