“AMNPLIFY PREMIERE”
.
Melbourne based singer-songwriter TJ Patrick is unveiling his summer jam, ‘Bluebird’.
The song was recorded with Ben Edgar (Angus and Julia Stone, Passenger, Gotye) in his home studio in Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges. The country inspired instrumentation aims to augment the sweet simplicity of the lyrics, providing moments of unbridled joy.
TJ Patrick’s vocals dance over a bright, sunny mix of body percussion, banjo and guitar, coming together to create a beautiful picture of a pure feeling of love.
“Writing this song was unlike any other I’ve written,” TJ says, “I was in Nashville playing some shows and generally soaking up the music there during summer. I was playing my guitar in the park when ‘Bluebird’ seemed to just fly out of me. The song was finished in about 10 minutes. I don’t think I’ll ever have a songwriting experience quite like that again.”
TJ Patrick will be officially launching ‘Bluebird’ at an intimate show at the Wesley Anne in Melbourne on Friday 29th November. The show will also be a taste of his forthcoming album, coming out next year.

Born and raised in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, TJ Patrick has been working towards something special. He creates songs that shed light on stories of raw, personal experiences with a delicate and gentle nature. His flair for songwriting was developed during a stint working alongside Aria award winning producer One Above. The pair wrote and recorded music for some of Australia’s finest artists. TJ’s bluesy, melodic guitar playing can be heard on records by Urthboy, PEZ, Drapht and the Hilltop Hoods’ platinum selling single, ‘Higher’.
However, it was a tour of the USA that really captured his love for folk music. Sound tracked by the likes of Paul Simon, Dolly Parton and Gillian Welch, TJ embarked on a tour of the South playing at some of America’s most famous songwriter venues including Eddie’s Attic and the iconic Bluebird Café in Nashville.
For the past two years TJ has also been an ambassador for YGAP’s polished man campaign, twice selling out shows in Melbourne to fundraise for the event.

AMNPLIFY – DB
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.
