Simon Hudson’s highly original music weaves a captivating blend of world, roots and folk. The singer songwriter multi-instrumentalist is based in Melbourne and has toured Australia, Europe, Brazil & Cuba. His latest world roots funk EP Islands (2020) is an infectious ode to the life of the travelling musician.
Previous releases include crowd-funded album Earthman (2016) featuring a full band with percussion and horns, and folk Latin roots EP Time and Space (2012), a remarkable showcase of skilled songwriting and addictive roots rhythms. With his fifth Europe tour in his sights, there seems no limit for this talented songwriter.
