Ausmusic Month | Dubbo edit

November is Ausmusic Month. Ausmusic Month is all about celebrating Australian music, and supporting the local music industry. Studio 138 thought it would be a great idea to curate a collection of Dubbo music and musicians. Below you’ll find videos and Spotify playlists performed by local musicians.

Click here to send an email if you think there’s something or someone we should add to the list.

It’s no news that musicians have done it tough over the last 2 years. Supporting local musicians isn’t hard – this list is a good place to start. How else can you support local musicians?

  • Play their music on Spotify (this is one of the easiest)
  • Go watch them live
  • Watch their streamed performances
  • Watch their videos and react and comment (if you have something nice to say)
  • Follow their social media accounts
  • Buy their merchandise (not always possible, but nice if you can)
  • Love it? Share it! Spread the word to the people you know

Studio 138 presents Small Space Gigs featuring The Mudflappers

Live @ 5: Small town singer in her slippers

Through lockdown and beyond, we’ve loved The Creative Voice Studio’s Camilla Ward’s short, fun and sometimes moving Sunday sessions. Each week, Camilla invites her audience to suggest songs which usually results in a unique and quirky mashup performed by the multi-talented Camilla. Themes covered so far include the 80s and TV themes. Things don’t always go to plan (it is live, after all), but the Sunday sessions with Camilla, ably assisted by husband David and the family pooch, are always a joy to watch. Catch the sessions live on The Creative Voice Studio page on Facebook. Watch the replays via the YouTube channel:

Settle the Score was written by Indistinct Chatter member, Michael Davis, who wanted to write a powerful ballad that resonated with women.

“I wasn’t really sure where the song was going or how good it could be until the first time I heard Andrea sing it. I knew I wanted her to be the one to record it. In my view she transforms the song into a potent message that’s difficult to ignore. Is it a happy ending or is it a tragedy? I’ll leave that for the listener to decide.”
