VIDEO PREMIERE: Steve Grady - So Long

12 August 2016 | 12:08 pm | Staff Writer

Newly minted Melburnian musician Steve Grady may have recently relocated from Brisbane to Victoria, but his impending third album, Something To Fall Back On, still sports more than just a shade of Queensland to its make-up.

The new LP was recorded in the idyllic surrounds of Woodford along with an album by Josh Rennie-Hynes, with whom Grady has quite the collaborative history, having toured Australia and the US together over the past few years. Rennie-Hynes also helped Grady lay down the instrumentals on his full-length, though it also features the guest talents of Salliana Campbell (violin/fiddle) and Dan Parsons (pedal steel).

"I co-produced and mixed Josh Rennie-Hynes' album at the same location in the month before doing mine, so as soon as we wrapped up recording his, we got stuck into mine," Grady said in a statement. "Killed two birds with one stone, so to speak."

Masterful multi-tasker that he obviously is, Grady has preceded the album's release with a pair of singles, So Long and What Are You Doing Tonight, the former of which has a new video premiering on The Music today. The clip was created by Luke Constable, with assistance from Parsons, and filmed locally in Brunswick. Give it a burl at the top of the page if you haven't already.
