Bluesfest, Tibet Guitar Project, Deadly as Eh!
































April was an epic month! I had the opportunity to catch up with my beautiful friend Jennifer Rose, cruise up and down the east coast of Australia, and meet an incredible crew, now known, for all intensive purposes, as "Deadly as Eh!".

I was able to collaborate with Wazza Jones for his Tibet Guitar Project.

For the past three years Wazza has painted guitars and had them signed by the artists performing at the Byron Bay Bluesfest. The mission of the Tibet Guitar Project is "To raise as much money for the Tibetan Refugee Centre in Dharamsala India through the auctioning of hand painted guitars personally signed by Musicians at the 2007 , 08 ,09, 10 Byron Bay Bluesfests. To raise awareness of the Universal responsibility we have to be the voice of the Tibetan people."
Wazza, Rosie, Julie, Angus, Anita, Jason and myself rocked Bluesfest '10 raising awareness and spreading the message of change. With the support of the artists and performers at Bluesfest, we had three guitars signed, raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Tibet Guitar Project.
In addition to this, we also asked the artists and performers to sign a "world invitation to change". Green organic silk banners were signed as part of Satish Sikhar's mission: www.ourworld-wewill.com.
So, overall the Deadly as Eh! crew was on a mission to use our voice and "be the change we wish to see in the world". It was an inspirational and amazing experience to be surrounded by people passionate about their music and creativity and most importantly passionate about making this place a better place to be.
