Jake Murdoch aka Jakeycakes – I’m Off To Tamworth

For this song I play banjo, drums, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, lead vocals and harmonies.

I used a JB HI-FI receipt wrapped around the neck of the guitar like Johnny Cash did when he used a dollar bill to achieve a scratchy sound because he didn’t have a drummer.

Scott Whatman really supported my creativity which was really important to me.

The song was inspired by where I live is not very country and not where I want to live later in life.  It is about busking and my desire to perform in Tamworth.

The lyrics are very true for me as one time when I was busking there was a wild storm approaching and my money really was flying out the case.
