The famous shipwrecks near Loch Ard Gorge on Purroitchihoorrong/Port Campbell Headland inspired Bella Deer’s epic new single “Shipwreck Coast.” This dramatic number reminded me of something we might hear from Florence and the Machine. What a powerhouse vocal performance Bella gives here.
“I was driving one night and felt drawn to the coast,” she recalled. “When I feel overwhelmed, I find myself there. Coastlines in Victoria hold a strange power, although they’re wild and fierce they’re also healing and a perfect place for contemplation.”
Bella has a couple of summer shows for fans to look forward to. Catch her at any of the following events:
23 & 24 November 2024 – Queenscliff Music Festival, Nherrin-boorwoork/Queenscliffe
14 December 2024 – Bendigo Records, Bendigo (ALL AGES, entry by gold coin donation)
26 January 2024 – Barrels Bar, Purroitchihoorrong/Port Campbell (ALL AGES FREE)
