Episode 80: My Friend Amy Shark

What do you do when you live on the Gold Coast and you've already visited the various amusement parks? If you're Amy Billings - aka Amy Shark - you take to learning guitar, working your way up to singing and eventually giving the whole singer-songwriter thing a go. After building up a sure but certain following, Billings went for gold with last year's "Adore." What she ended up with, however, was double platinum and the #2 spot in the Triple J Hottest 100. So, who is this out-of-nowhere upstart and what's next on her radar? Before a sold-out show at the Newtown Social Club (RIP), Billings talked Twitter trolls, Thirsty Merc and the day the nation adored her.Amy Shark's "Night Thinker" EP is out now. She is performing nationally at Groovin' the Moo and touring in support of Milky Chance.To buy the EP and check tour dates, visit https://www.amyshark.comSupport the podcast on Patreon: http://patreon.com/barbandsFollow Amy on Twitter and Instagram: @amysharkmusicFollow the podcast on Twitter: @BarBandsPodFollow David on Twitter and Instagram: @DJYwritesSupport David on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidjamesyoungSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
