24.01.2022 Mid recording for ‘Keep The Circle Unbroken’ with Row Jerry Crow Can not wait til the livestream tomorrow (Saturday 18th July). Tickets through Memo Music Hall
22.01.2022 It's the first Friday of the month, which means BANDCAMP FRIDAY! This is when the legends at Bandcamp waive their artist fees for 24 hours so musos get 100% of de cash. (I think technically it's 5pm tonight to 5pm Saturday...cause it's 'merican...) Platforms like Bandcamp are SO important for artists, particularly during the Pandemic, because if you pay $13 for the digital album on Bandcamp, I get like, $11.50. For every stream of a song off the Album on Spotify, I get $0.0...033. i.e. 1000 streams equates to about $4. Streaming services are amazing for a global audience, just a bit stiff on the ol' hip pocket. Anyway, I've got some Merch now (yew) available at https://brooketaylor.bandcamp.com/merch if you'd like a T-shirt or a physical CD. (n.b. If you pre-ordered the Album from crowdfunding, I'm mailing those out today). Also please check out https://rowjerrycrow.bandcamp.com//row-jerry-crow-keep-the while you're there. Also, given the current climate, I'll be donating 30% of all sales this weekend to Support Act and Impact Lebanon Thank you again to everyone so far for their support and kind words about the Album; glad you're digging it. Cyber hugs and love everyone. xx
22.01.2022 Delsinki and I were recently commissioned by City Of Port Phillip and Auspicious Arts to write a pop song for this year's upcoming International Day of People with Disability (December 3rd). If you or anyone you know would like to get involved with the community performance, please check out the link below.
22.01.2022 This was so much fun Thanks so much to the incredible musos and team that made it possible, and to everyone that tuned in. Here's a little vid of some behind the scenes awesomeness from a great gig with Row Jerry Crow at Memo Music Hall a coupla weeks back. You can, if you'd like, pre-order the vinyl and the digital album if you'd like to keep the tracks all to yourself. There was quite the lineup to be honest; I felt very humbled ... Check out the vid and visit https://rowjerrycrow.bandcamp.com//row-jerry-crow-keep-the to pre-order the vinyl

18.01.2022 Hey lovelies, I’ve just realised that I’ve not publicly let y’all know that our Livestream with Dalicados has been postponed (cause of the Stage 4). But we’ll be sure to let you all know when we’re back on - September sometime Hope you’re all hanging in there
17.01.2022 Big thanks to 88.3 Southern FM Friday Magazine for chatting to me last week about 'It's The Little Things'. And the prompt edit updating 'Shot Down' from #6 to #1 after the interview aired I'm on around 1.11.42 in.
17.01.2022 So, last night we did an international livestream for a beautiful friend’s work ‘do’, and I just gotta say, it was so bloody brilliant to be playing as a band again. (Well, 4/5ths of a band ) Big thank you to the lads (the Poison Spitting Gin Queens) for being so brilliant and I’ve missed you and can’t wait to play more. I’d particularly like to give a MASSIVE and SUPER SPECIAL ‘thank you’ to the legends that are Tom at Rolling Stock Recording Rooms and Ty at Shoelace Creative for helping with all the technical stuff (and to Rob on Bass who also stepped up). What could’ve potentially been an absolute glitchy nightmare was streamline AF cause they were such UTTER legends. I cannot recommend or thank them enough. Just sayin.
16.01.2022 I’ll be over at Enjoy Music today from 2pm to sing some of my favourite tunes from back in the day Come join us.
15.01.2022 Muuuum! Look! I’m on a Billboard! Man...what a week. Phwoah. Row Jerry Crow are hosting ‘Keep The Circle Unbroken’ THIS SATURDAY (July 18th) with a bunch of amazing singers, pickers and musicians...and lil ol’ me Tickets are only $15 so treat yourself to a bargain night in. Tix available through Memo Music Hall.
14.01.2022 Definitely still learning how to do the radio thing Thanks again to Neil Rogers on RRR for celebrating the Album, having a chat and playing some tracks.
14.01.2022 I’d like to take a moment please to wish one of my very best friends, and THE best bloody wingman, confidant, accomplice, collaborator Mr. Craig Delsinki J...Happy Bloody Birthday. You’re next level man; love you to pieces. Honestly wouldn’t have done a fraction of what I’ve accomplished in the last few years without you bro Your friendship, support and mad skills are something I’m grateful for every...single...day. ... Big loves to you and your family and hope you have a ripping iso lockdown birthday
14.01.2022 Lockdown’s been tough on us all here in Melbourne, but I’ve been incredibly lucky to have been able to spend it with my sweetheart, who’s been (and always has been) an absolute champion. This is just a little ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ set to music - with the help of a bunch of other champions, the Poison Spitting Gin Queens and Mr. Jack Howard. Love you lads too. I’m really pleased with how this came out (considering the voice memo I first sent to the lads was ‘wonky’ at best) and not being able to be in the same room figuring out a new song can be difficult - but we got there. xx Can’t wait to play this live when we can. Special thanks to Rob for mixing it all together Stay safe everyone and hope to see you soon.
13.01.2022 NEXT SATURDAY - A SHOW! And mate, what a show! What a line up! You can stream us (‘us’ being, Row Jerry Crow, Tim Rogers, Mick Thomas, Kylie Auldist...but also mates like Jimmy Phoenix, Joyce Prescher, Grim Fawkner...) seriously it’s gunna be rad. Next Saturday 18th, digital doors at 7pm (AEST), pop us on ya big screens for some pickin’, singin’ and just good ol fashion fun. ... Tickets available at Memo Music Hall
13.01.2022 Thanks so much to everyone that bought a T-shirt or CD over the weekend As mentioned, 30% of all Merch purchases (or 'merch perch' ) have been donated to Support Act and Impact Lebanon. xx Thank you all so much, and if you are still after any Album merch, please feel free to head over to https://brooketaylor.bandcamp.com/dashboard

11.01.2022 Anyone else feel like an animal bred in captivity, then being dumped in the middle of the Savannah and told ‘run free...(with a mask)’, and just wants to stay in their lil shelter just incasies!? Well, might just be me But, we must all return to the wild at some point, and for me, it will be the 27th of November at @thewesleyanne at 6.00pm in the Front Bar. First gig back in Melbourne Pop along if you fancy. - @jessparkertroubledwaters ... - the wonderful @theredhillhotel who helped soften the blow a few weeks ago See more
10.01.2022 Hey everyone, I need to make a very public and heartfelt apology to Mr. Fraser Montgomery who I DID NOT correctly credit for Producing 'Stop All Your Cryin' on the Album...I put Fraser Gorman...who's a muso and I don't even know Oh my god.

Thank you so, so much to everyone out there in Radio Land that's giving it a spin *Brooke shakes head in disbelief... It's been an overwhelming week to say the least. Thanks everyone again for listening, and for all the amazingly kind feedback I've had about the Album thus far. Wow. Thank you. Love yuz all. xx
07.01.2022 Part of my brain and my heart just exploded My amazing friend Scott made a pledge to get the Debut Album made last year, and having finally made its way to him, he can now add it to ‘the collection’ That picture on the left is from my very first gig EVER, and I made those EPs by hand at my kitchen bench What a journey. ... Amazing. Scotty, you still absolutely rock.
05.01.2022 Good thing my name’s at the bottom of the poster or I wouldn’t be able to reach it My mate Fiona was going through old travel photos when she found this lil gem from about 400, maybe 500 years ago I used to live in Leeds and honestly, it’s where I really started to find my feet musically. Probably the most creative I’ve ever been with the most amazing family of musicians around me I miss it. Soon...
04.01.2022 Typically this time of the year, a bunch of us alt-country muso types are up in Tamworth. This year; not to much. To remedy this, the wonderful Duncan Phillips has put together a rad line-up (that I’m humbled to be a part of) to keep the fires burnin’ (as it were) called ‘The Cancelled Concert’ Sunday 24th Jan, doors at 1.30, Workers Club Fitzroy, come along. ...

I know it’s a trying time for all of us at the moment, but if you’ve ever tuned in to them before and can spare a buck please visit their website

01.01.2022 Good morning everyone. This is a song by my friend Kerryn. It’s incredible. The first time I heard it was around a campfire and by golly did I weep. Wept with joy and a full heart under an open starry sky. ... n.b. It’s just as good in the lounge room or the car Check it out, and KUDOS Kerryn on an INCREDIBLE release.
