The new direction...

I've been working on a new 'thing' for a little while now. It's a project called The Breakout Lights, and features me playing guitar & ukulele and singing, mostly solo, but sometimes with my friends! This is the material I'll be touring this year, and I'm really looking forward to it... especially now that my vocal loop pedal has been added to the mix, now there's something I can get down with ;) 

HERE is Beauty Floats - a song a little bit about my problem with nostalgia..

I love Tim Winton’s quote: “There is nowhere else I’d rather be, nothing else I would prefer to be doing. I am at the beach looking west with the continent behind me as the sun tracks down to the sea. I have my bearings” from those bearings that ground me, it’s homeward bound to my heart and love, yay! 💖 . . . . . #timwinton #indianocean #westaussie #australianamerican #singersongwriter #australiantour #sunset #lookingwest #nofilter

The blues is in her wistful and melancholy voice, but it plays hide and seek with space and sound, creating a depth of feeling beyond the obvious.

Nerissa Campbell’s music weaves its way through somber pop-ballads, bluesy folk songs, moody instrumentals, and a lyricism full of thought and space. She has developed a unique and deeply personal writing and performing voice - immersed in the jazz tradition, but strongly forging her own direction. She creates a fine blend of styles dipped in a smoky batter of late night living.
