The beginning of 2011 has been huge for Newcastle singer/ songwriter John Newsome. He has launched his new 11 track album "Falling Awake", co-directed a music production, packed up his family and home for a a national tour, and today -launches his new website www.johnewsomemusic.com.
In the next 2 weeks John takes his young family around Australia taking in the major cities and beautiful places across the nation. "The goal is to meet the people of Australia, sing and play in churches and other places that might not get live music". John hopes the trip will energise him as he inspires people everywhere with his voice and sound.
Travelling Australia with his family will be a 6 month adventure for John and his wife Mindy and their three small children. The aim is to break out of the confines of life as a musician and teacher in order to really live life with a sense of freedom. He hopes to write new songs inspired by the journey and enjoy what the country has to offer, as well as giving back into remote communities his songs of hope and grace.
You can follow their journey from April through to October through his new website, John Newsome Music.com.
