This recording project has been in progress since 2019. It takes a long time to organise and fund through busking!

A recent Music Victoria Grant has contributed to recording the debut album, along with over 1000 hours of busking over three years, supporting their efforts. This has led to collaborations with song-writing greats, Eric McCusker (Whispering Jack, Come Said the Boy), Jake Mason (This Girl), Tim Wild (Get Set) and Jessica Paige (APRA award winning songwriter). They have polished and recorded the songs bound for the album, and in the process they have formed a band called “Gerry Smith’s Well-Oiled Machine”. 

Putting his heart on the line, telling the truth through his lyrics, however raw, Gerry is not afraid to talk about the human condition and bare all for the sake of others, in the hope that no-one will feel alone in their struggles. His passion and courage will also, no doubt, inspire others with the confidence to tackle their own projects.

​Now the CD is in the final stages as Jessica compiles the takes and puts it all together ready for mixing and mastering. Featuring the songs of Gerry Smith and co-writing collaborations with Jake Mason, Eric McCusker and Jessica Paige. Amazing artists, including Luke Howard (much awarded international pianist ) and David Jones (master drummer) have contributed instrumental sessions to the project.
