Brisbane based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jake Murdoch has released Free Spirited Baby, an indie blues-rock song that reveals the enormous superstar potential of this emerging talent.
The track will undoubtedly expose Jake Murdoch to a broad audience and propel the extraordinarily young and gifted music artist to new heights.
The new work displays just some of Jake’s abilities, which include lead guitar, rhythm guitar, slide guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, piano, drums, harmonicas, tambourine, stompbox, ukulele, cajon, banjo and lead and backing vocals—Jake takes the meaning of the word virtuoso to an entirely new level.
With mentors that include Vicky O’Keefe (daughter of Johnny O’Keefe), Robbie James (Gangajang/Yothu Yindi), Gina Jeffreys and Nashville producer Michael Flanders, it has taken Jake a remarkably short amount of time to reach such rare and accomplished musical levels.
And it’s all on display on Free Spirited Baby, a rousing blues-rock track that combines raw energy with superlative playing and a lyric as personal as it is direct. As well as featuring a straight down the line rock and roll groove, augmented by Jake’s natural, unfiltered vocal performance, Free Spirited Baby is also a love song with an endearing lyric.
