The Artist
Simon Hudson is not just a singer-songwriter – he’s a musical alchemist. From his base in Melbourne, Australia, he crafts a spellbinding fusion of world, roots, and folk that defies easy categorisation. His sound? Imagine The Cat Empire jamming with Neil Finn, while Jose Gonzalez, Paul Simon and Carlinhos Brown offer creative input.
