“This was such a wild experience. Not only to play live music for the first time in ages, but to do it in such a magical Zen kind of a place: Peninsula Hot Springs. In one of the songs, I’m literally performing on top of a hot springs bath with my feet in the 45-degree water (!!), while watching the sun going down and a 360-degree view over the velvety rolling hills. It was otherworldly. The Sound just make the coolest live music videos, I love this show so much.” – Missy Higgins
“So pumped to be back on The Sound this weekend! This is the first performance my band and I have done after months and months of lockdown in Melbourne and we couldn’t be happier that you get to catch it on your telly this Sunday.“ – Alex Lahey
“I can’t wait to be on The Sound! It was the first gig for us all after a long Sydney lockdown, and everyone was buzzing! Thank you for being a lifeline for the industry right now.” – Isabella Manfredi
“I am so unbelievably psyched to be a part of The Sound this year! It has been such a long time between live shows for me, so it feels really special to be performing my new song ‘Fall Short’ on the program, alongside some of Australia’s most talented and exciting acts.” – Fergus James
“I am as you could say fkn excited to be back on The Sound performing a special collaboration and I really can’t wait for you to see! It’s so lovely seeing the show back for another season on TV BECAUSE Aussie music is to die for and I’m very honoured to be a part of it.” – merci, mercy
“It’s amazing to be back on The Sound, this time showcasing one of the biggest songs to come out of Australia in the last couple of decades. This one hits home for us and it’s a privilege to be a part of it!” – Jack Froggart (Mansionair)

You’ve seen her in productions such as Six Feet Under, The Rookie, Ride Like A Girl, Hilary & Jackie, My Best Friend’s Wedding… and, of course, her incredible debut in the iconic Muriel’s Wedding. Our Guest Host this week is Academy Award nominee and award-winning actor and content maker Rachel Griffiths AM.
Performing her latest explosive power pop single ‘Spike The Punch’ is Melbourne deadset legend Alex Lahey, who says the new song is about “the fun that comes with self-sabotage and reckless abandon.” One of the country’s most respected indie artists, Alex has a new album in the works. Her global appeal has seen her music covered by Pitchfork, The Guardian, Stereogum and The Line Of Best Fit, and appear on cult games including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
