Ocean Grove songwriter Andrea Robertson will launch her fourth and final Seasons EP just as summer hits.
Including a trio of funky, bluesy tunes, Seasons Volume 4 follows on from Robertson’s three earlier seasonal releases this year, bringing the project full circle.
While the Seasons EPs are available for streaming and digital purchase, Robertson recently conducted a successful Pozible campaign to fund the release of all four releases on vinyl, also doing a short run of CDs for those who prefer their music in that format.
The EP features an impressive lineup of artists including David (drums) and Heath Robertson (guitar), Russell Abram (bass), Jack Meredith (harmonica), Robert Calvert (sax) and Rex Foord (trombone).
Robertson said recording the quartet of independently released and self-funded EPs over the year had allowed her to push herself musically.
“With each release I feel like I’ve grown and stretched myself as an artist, and that’s exactly how it should be,” she said.
“There’s an honesty and openness to the songwriting in some of these songs that perhaps goes deeper than I’ve previously allowed myself to go.
“Some songs are quite emotive, there is a real rawness and vulnerability about them. But I have intentionally tried to balance this out with some light-hearted tracks, for myself as well as for listeners”
Robertson said she plans to tour and promote the album throughout regional Victoria and interstate in early 2024.
Andrea Robertson launches Seasons Volume 4 on Friday, December 8 at BrewiColo Brewing Co. Visit www.trybooking.com/cmrtp for tickets and more information.
