about

Andrea Kirwin's 5th album, BLOOM, is a beautifully crafted 10 track album of original songs written by Andrea and recorded at Yama-Nui Recording Studio with her big band, The Yama-Nui Social Club - a 13 piece super group. The inspiration for the album came from the covid shutdown of the live music scene in Australia, which Andrea transformed into new music and called in all of her musical friends to create this beautiful album.

ALBUM RECORDING NOTES AND CREDITS
‘Bloom’, Andrea’s fifth independent album is produced by her label PEACE RUN RECORDS, all rights reserved, and was recorded between May 2020 and January 2021. Her band, Brett Orr on Drums, Oj Newcomb on Bass and Brodie Graham on Electric guitar, played the album live in studio at Yama-Nui recording studio over 2 days and the rest of the Yama-Nui Social Club members were layered on top of the original live recordings.

Paulie B was the sound engineer on the record and Steve Summers and Jade Salangsang assisted. Some of the songs were laid down in one live take, which ended up being used on the final recording. Andrea wrote all lyrics and music for the 10 songs, and arranged them with input from the band. Sarah King arranged the String parts. Each musician added their own unique flavour to the album and Andrea and Paulie B edited the parts for the final versions. Paulie B then mixed the album. Doc Span featured on ‘Love’s Fool’ and Paulie B featured on ‘Firenze’ on melodica. Dj Total Eclipse, Andrea’s brother in law, added scratches and soul edits to ‘Light it on up’.

The album was mastered by the legend, Ted Jensen at Sterling Sounds, who did an amazing job. Abbey Ashfield-Crook did the album design and shot all photos used in the artwork. Except the cover image which was shot by Mica Schettini for the Shelter S.C magazine, featuring Tia from This Bird Florist on the Sunshine Coast, assisted by Charlotte Evelynn.

ALBUM DEDICATION
I’d like to dedicate this album, like all of my album’s before it, to my beautiful partner and fiancé Claire. You have been such an incredible support to my musical, emotion and spiritual journey over the years since we met. It is exciting to see you now start your own journey with your harp and singing and I look forward to supporting you with the same incredible unconditional love that you have shared with me over the past 12 years. @claire.evelynn.harp This album is very much inspired by our love and I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. Thank you to your daughter Charlotte for filling our house with flowers and inspiring the name of the album and artwork! It has been a privilege to see you bloom over the years.

To all of the incredible musicians who worked on this project, Brett, Oj, Brodie, Tristan, Ange, Tanja, Zac, Lee, Dyon, Greg, Louise, Sarah, Doc, Paulie B and Keith, thank you so much for adding your beautiful gifts and talents to this record. It is what it is because of the wonderful friendships we have developed over the years making music together. You are all amazing and I hope that we are still playing together when we are in our 90s – just like the Buena Vista Social Club! (The inspiration behind the name of our collective)

To the Yama-Nui Recording Studio family, Oj and Ange, Paulie B, Steve and Jade, thank you for being so wonderful to work with. Paulie, you went above and beyond to make this record with me and it’s better than I could have imagined. Thank you Lord Tanuki san! To Abbey Ashfield – Crook who has been making me look good since we met a few years ago, thankyou for being there to take photos, film, create, design, crack jokes and be a generally awesome human being, you have been so integral to the artwork and design of all Peace Run Records releases. I appreciate your work and your friendship!

A very big thankyou must go to my Patreon supporters who have kept me going during Covid. What an incredible bunch of humans you are. Thank you for supporting independent artists and helping us to create high quality art and music to share with the world. Thank you as well to my Patreon Choir who sang on ‘We Shall Overcome’ and for my Patreon members who starred in the music video! Thank you to Kate, to Ash and to my dad, Douglas Kirwin who have supported me in releasing this album independently to such a high standard. It would not have been possible without your help. Thank you to my border collies Waylan and Teddy. You make my life so much fun every day.

And finally, thank you to you – the listener – I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my music and buy this album. I hope to say hello one day and thank you in person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, travel well and hopefully this album is a beautiful soundtrack to your day, wherever you are in the world. Drop me a letter sometime!
With love, Andrea
