Dami Im Drops “Paper Dragon” Single Ahead of Queensland Shows

Dami Im’s career trajectory has really impressed me. She burst onto the scene in 2013 when she won the X Factor crown. She released the inevitable fluffy singles, but in recent years her songwriting talents have really shone. Her latest single “Paper Dragon” is the perfect example of the kind of empowering, honest music she’s creating right now. It’s her first single released via her new musical home, ABC Music.

“’Paper Dragon’ marks the beginning of the most exciting and authentic chapter in my career and it deserves the best partner to take it out into the world,” Dami said. “I’m feeling the most creative and free right now and I’m thrilled to be working with the team at ABC Music who truly support my vision as an artist.”

The Queensland artist will play some shows around her home state in the coming weeks, starting with a gig at The Triffid tomorrow night. Tickets are still available but limited, so get on it!

25 September 2020 – The Triffid, Brisbane
26 September 2020 – Ipswich Civic Centre, Ipswich
9 October 2020 – Tanks Arts Centre, Cairns
18 October 2020 – Solbar, Maroochydore

Gretta Ziller Releases First Single Under ABC Music

Gretta Ziller has celebrated her new record deal with ABC Music with the release of a new single “Unlikely Believer.” There is such a quiet strength about this song. I love the resolve in Gretta’s vocals and the powerful lyrics that show she’s a woman who knows herself.

“I wrote Unlikely Believer to remind myself that although I’ve been through a lot in life that it’s harder but so much more rewarding to keep believing in things, rather than dwelling on the hurt and hardship,” she said.

ABC Music has welcomed Gretta with open arms. Natalie Waller, the head of ABC Music and Events, gushed “We are thrilled to have Gretta join the ABC Music roster. We have been impressed by Gretta’s achievements over the last three years. She is such an accomplished singer and songwriter, and we are excited to work with her to take her music to an even wider audience.”

Gretta’s 2017 debut album Queen of Boomtown received widespread acclaim. I’m excited to see what else she releases with ABC Music.

ABC Music Sign The Rumjacks to New FOUR | FOUR Label

Irish-influenced Sydney band The Rumjacks are the first to join ABC Music’s latest label, FOUR | FOUR.

The Rumjacks take their cues from Celtic traditions but layer those classical sounds with punk rock, reggae, and even a bit of gypsy swing. They’ve been plugging away under the radar since 2008, but the signing with ABC’s latest label should introduce them to a whole new audience.

“In essence, FOUR | FOUR represents music that, at its core, is as simple as a 4/4 time signature,” explained ABC Music head Robert Pattinson. “It’s music that moves people in a fundamental way. The imprint’s first signing, The Rumjacks, typifies what FOUR | FOUR is all about – honest music making with a no-nonsense directness and immediacy that connects with the listener from the first moment.”

The Rumjacks’ new single “Crosses for Eyes” gives us a taste of what’s to come on their first FOUR | FOUR album release. If you want to hear even more you can catch the band on their annual St Patrick’s Day tour next month.

15 March 2012 – The Joynt, Brisbane
16 March 2012 – Baroque Bar, Katoomba
17 March 2012 – The Sandringham Hotel, Newtown
