An album of retro pop with a generally upbeat feel that’s life-affirming…

DC’s cover of the famous, and very moving Christmas carol, “I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day” which he just finished yesterday. Actually, Samuel did half of the work – he plays bass and drums and also the amazing guitar solo. The aim was to make it sound like The Byrds and whether or not that was successful overall, Samuel’s solo is a dead ringer for Roger McGuinn!

The 21st of December 2012 is the End Of The World according to the ancient Mayans. They were wrong of course, because they didn’t know squat about anything, and THEIR world ended long before 2012.

I’m very excited because I’ve been chosen by Noisetrade as one of their “New & Notable”artists for the next week, AND I have a new, epic, song for you!

Just Give Me Something Worth Voting For! Non-partisan election song with video, lyrics and chords. You know it makes sense!

On Saturday I’m playing a show at my favourite local venue, The Chandelier Room, Moorabbin (in Melbourne’s near SE), with my friend Victor Stranges..

DC Cardwell on Tamara Tillinghast’s Best of 2011 list!

Here’s the playlist from Triple R‘s Vital Bits on Sunday. It’s nice to be played amongst company that’s not just stellar but… help me, what’s bigger than stellar? I also find it cute that I write a song with a few vaguely jazz chords in it and get slotted between Sarah Vaughan and Chet Baker. [...]

The first reviews of my album “Some Hope” are coming in! It’s my first “proper” release, and it’s available at CD Baby and also from my own website, www.dccardwell.com. It’s in a very nice gatefold cardboard, vinyl-style sleeve and is basically a 16-song summation of my career so far. You can also download it from [...]
