Super happy to be back at my home away from home for a Sunday evening show this time. Come on down for a feed, a beer and some music!

“Through his music, this creative Australian mind ignites a fresh and rejuvenating roots formula, tapping into the sounds and styles of Brazil, West Africa, India, and many more.” – Aldora Britain Records

Simon Hudson is a singer-songwriter whose highly original music weaves a captivating blend of world, roots and folk, with influences including Carlinhos Brown, The Cat Empire, Jose Gonzalez, Neil Finn, and Paul Simon. Based in Melbourne, Australia, he’s toured throughout Europe, Latin America and Australia.

His new single This Race launches globally (Jun 2024) on label Songs & Whispers (Germany), distributed by Broken Silence (Germany) and published by Sentric Music (UK). This Race suggest we are all caught up in a race – that we don’t always know that we are in. The race for fame and fortune, to impress those around us. We may not be conscious of it, but it drives our decisions. Stepping outside allows us focus on more important things.

Previous releases include album Aguas Profundas (Deep Waters) (2023), genre-hopping EP Islands (2020), crowd-funded album Earthman (Aug 2016), and debut EP Time And Space (2012), a remarkable showcase of skilled songwriting, addictive roots rhythms and honest lyricism. His five international tours from 2014-2023 include Europe, Cuba & Brazil.

“Melbourne has long had a reputation for worldly art, culture, and heritage, emerging from the city’s underbelly and overflowing onto international stages. Contemporary singer-songwriter Simon Hudson is a glorious underground testament to this.” – Aldora Britain Records
