Talking Mental Health & Music | Matt Cornell & Adam Brand #489

Message me your 'Takeaways'.One has toured with Taylor Swift, has 12 x Golden Guitars and 11 x CMC awards to his name; the other is a 5 x Golden Guitar nominee and has played bass with some of Australia’s most revered acts. Combined they share over 50 million streams and today, Adam Brand and Matt Cornell join forces to deliver the rousing new single, ‘Our Church’. Since departing the Baby Animals over a decade ago for a gig with Adam Brand, Matt Cornell has walked the path of country music. The pair quickly became thick as thieves. When a global pandemic threatened to demolish that path, their comradery gave them resilience. “Before ‘Our Church’ was a song, it was our weekly catch up with a couple of my close brothers during covid,” recalls Brand. Both being ‘foodies’ who frequently share their culinary skills with social media fans, it was only natural to host the catch ups at cafés all over QLDs Gold Coast. “We found it was helping us deal with the mental anguish of our industry being on its knees, the work & money we had lost. In particular, I was really struggling,” adds Cornell. “But I found solace in my mates, in our little catch up every week. I’m not a religious man, but I decided to call it Church.TOUR DATES – ADAM BRAND Saturday 25th February – Mathinna Country Club – Mathinna, TAS Saturday 4th March – Country by the Bay Festival – Frankston, VIC Saturday 25th March – Rodeo 4 Life - Wollongong, NSW Saturday 22nd April – Gippsland Country Music Festival – Gippsland, VIC Sunday 30th April – Lighthouse Country - Burnett Heads, QLD Friday 14th – Sunday 16th July – Country on Keppel - Keppel Island, QLD** Tickets are on sale now and available via https://adambrandmusic.com/tour-dates/ TOUR DATES – MATT CORNELL Saturday 11th March – The Stock Route Country Music Festival – Dubbo, NSW Saturday 10th June – Lets Wing It Festival – Scone, NSW Friday 14th – Sunday 16th July – Country on Keppel - Keppel Island, QLD Saturday 5th – Saturday 12th August – Tunes in the Tropics - Fiji** Tickets are on sale now and available via http://www.mattcornellmusic.com.au/ Support the showTake the "Life Performance" Scorecard: HEREFollow Lachlan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lachlanstuart/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LachlanJStuartLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lachlan-stuartmtc/Website: https://www.lachlanstuart.com.au/Newsletter: https://lachlan-stuart-tmtcp.ck.page/profileDo Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow
