Helen Ryder Single Launch + Brooke Taylor

Helen Ryder returns to George Lane to launch Magnetic Field from her upcoming second album Love Over Hate. Joining Helen is Bruce Haymes (Paul Kelly, Renee Geyer) on keys, Shane Reilly (Lost Ragas, Emma Donovan) on pedal steel & guitar, Stephen Hadley (Tex Perkins) on bass & Tony Floyd (The Black Sorrows) on drums, with special guest Brooke Taylor opening the launch.
Magnetic Field is a luminous outing weaving pop hues & gossamer melodies which capture the warmth & joy of a new beginning. “It’s about a brand-new love & how it radiates out into the world to create positivity for all. I wanted to introduce my new album, songs equally about love & hate & the times we live in, with this uplifting feeling & can’t wait to play Magnetic Field & my new songs live.”
Helen has performed at the Aria Awards with The Whitlams, the Darling Harbour Jazz Festival with Tina Harrod, the Americana festival Out On The Weekend & George Lane with her one woman show Ode To Bobbie Gentry, & opened for Vika & Linda Bull, Russell Morris & the Badloves. Her debut album Someday Love features two duets, one with Spencer P Jones (The Beasts Of Bourbon) on Lady Bird, & Kevin Bennett (The Flood) on True Love Travels On A Gravel Road.
