Description

"It is never too late to change your life/ continent/ music/ everything and to, along the way, create an authentic masterpiece" - Pop Depresja Radio (Belgrade)

Scottish singer-songwriter Karl Broadie found his way to Sydney back in 1997 and has since embraced Australia as home.

A debut album, aptly entitled Nowhere Now Here (released in early 2003 through Laughing Outlaw Records) has found this displaced poet/lyricist/troubadour with an alt-country classic to his name and a reputation as a very fine craftsman of songs.

Reviews in such highly regarded publications as MOJO, UNCUT, RECORD COLLECTOR, HARP (USA), AMPLIFIER (USA), Rhythms (Aus) are all ringing the same tune; Dylan, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Waits, Neil Young and Wilco, are the references, and the summaries are:

"Of course, the most important quality that Broadie shares with all of the above is a passion and sincerity that differentiates the influenced from the mere pretenders" - AMPLIFIER (USA)

2003 not only found Broadie with a world of praise for his debut album, but he also embarked on a successful 10 date tour of the UK which included a sold-out headline show at London's home to the famous, The Borderline. A short trip to Los Angeles included a showcase for Bug Music (Karl's publishers) in Hollywood and a show at LA's exclusive "Hotel Cafe".

Nowhere Now Here held the #1 spot in the Americana UK charts for the whole of Feb 2003 and was declared "the first essential release of the year". At the end of the year, the Americana UK Website listed Nowhere Now Here at #7 in their "albums of the year" selections, with Lucinda Williams at #6 and The Jayhawks at #8!!

Airplay around the world has included:

UK - BBC Radio 2 - Bob Harris, BBC 6 Music - Bob Harris, BBC Radio Scotland - Tom Morton, Ian Anderson, Janice Forsyth, Brian Burnett, BBC Radio Foyle (Northern Ireland), Virgin Radio - Captain America - Nick Stewart & many community stations around the UK

Europe - Radio in Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, Majorca, Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and more!

USA - Known airplay includes College & Community stations in California, Ohio & New York.

Australia - Triple J, ABC Radio National, 2BL, ABC Coast FM, 2ser, 3RRR, 3PBS, and many, many more community & ABC stations nationwide.

Before recording commences in June for the official follow-up to Nowhere Now Here, Laughing Outlaw Records will release a new 6 track EP entitled Everybody's Gold. Recorded in between albums "because it made sense for 'songs' reasons".

There's a Townes Van Zandt cover on there and the title track EVERYBODY's GOLD is set to soar at country radio, not to mention AC formats!

PRESS:

"The follow-up to Broadie's stunning album Nowhere Now Here, Everybody's Gold boasts another six slices of magic from the rootsy singer/songwriter. A cover of Townes Van Zandt's "Like A Summer Thursday" opens proceedings, followed by Broadie's engaging mix of raspy vocals and a melodic hook over the rural swing of the title track. "The Last Song" is filled with regret, while "Oh So Softly" is backed by Melanie Horsnell's sweet voice and delicate fiddle by George Washing Machine. Equally inviting is the harp 'n' banjo of homespun gem "Gone, Gone, Gone" and the mandolin and dobro score for Karl's croaking lilt on "Words You Wrote"." - Time Off
