Piper Butcher Releases Beautiful Love Song, “Through the Night”

If you’re lucky to go through life with a partner, there are moments that you find yourself reflecting on that bond. I’ve been doing that a lot lately as I recover from my car accident. While I’m able to do more every day, I rely on him to cook meals, help me dress and shower, drive me to medical appointments, and so much more. I hate losing my independence and I’m so grateful for the way that he stepped up. It’s changed our relationship, although thankfully that’s only temporary, but it’s encouraged me to reflect on the way he loves me so unconditionally. While no doubt Piper Butcher got to thinking about her own relationship under different circumstances, her latest single “Through the Night” has really resonated with me.

“This song is loving someone wholly and purely; the admiration of the smallest details, the flush in your cheeks when they say your name, and the grounded calm you feel whenever you hear their voice,” the 2023 Australian Idol finalist said.

Piper has been on the road since mid July, but she’s got a couple more shows in her busy schedule. Catch her at the following gigs in the next few weeks:

28 December 2024 – NOT New Years Eve @ Great Lakes Paddocks, Worimi Country/Wootton
4 January 2025 – Avoca Beach Theatre, Darkinjung Country/Avoca Beach (supporting Jack Jones)

Gerling Singer Goes Country with Jep and Dep

Darren Cross has put his days in Gerling behind him to forge a brand new alt-country duo with Jessica Cassar. Together they’re Jep and Dep, the talents behind this gorgeous new song “Ain’t Coming Back.”

I adore the way this number breathes new life into the tired old love song genre. There’s none of the whining and pining. Instead Jep and Dep sing about getting out at the right time and moving forward. Its lyrics are also as poetic as any I’ve heard of late. The track gives us a taste of what’s in store when the double act launches their debut EP, Through the Night, on March 13.

If you love what you hear, get your skates on. Jep and Dep will give music lovers a sneak peek at the EP when they headline a show at the Oxford Arts Factory tonight. If you’ve missed it don’t worry; they’ll formally launch their EP at the following shows.

17 March 2013 – Green Room, Enmore
23 March 2013 – Earth Hour @ Midnight Special, Newtown
7 April 2013 – Gasometer Hotel, Melbourne
12 April 2013 – Brisbane Hotel, Hobart
