“Earthman is a wonderfully-made album, whose music is somewhere between relaxed soul, pop and world music. The quality of the music prevails.”Polyprisma online magazine, Germany

Simon Hudson Band weaves a mesmerising fabric of lyrical folk songwriting on a bed of Latin and roots rhythms. As accomplished musicians with a wealth of experience and a solid following around Melbourne, Simon Hudson Band will release a full-length album in 2013.

Simon Hudson’s musical life began when he was given a guitar by a friend for teaching him to play The Chicken Dance. But it was receiving a pair of drums that changed his life, starting a journey of percussion including study with African masters, performing at the Sydney Olympics, and playing for dance companies at national festivals. After a comprehensive grounding in world rhythms Simon hungered to incorporate these into his own music. After studying songwriting at NMIT in Melbourne, he formed a band to fuse his folk origins with the rhythms of Latin America and Africa. With influences including The Cat Empire, Jose Gonzalez, Neil Finn, and Paul Simon, Simon Hudson Band are set to bring their unique brand of percussive lyrical songwriting to audiences around Australia and across the world.
