mrsswordfisherman Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Perusing Insta today I found a certain fishraider’s son had auditioned for Australian Idol. I will leave it for the raider to reveal the name and time to watch. mrsswordie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim They really played on the forgetful storyline, he was actually told to take his music folder on stage by them playing on the fact he can be forgetful. They also put several cuts in his song which made it seem like he had forgotten bits. When he plays gigs he has over 200 songs he has notes with in his folder but a fair amount of them he can do without his folder. Recorded on my phone by the lake at our house.

mrsswordfisherman Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 That song really shows his range @JonD His bass voice is clear and when he moves up he is melodic and tuneful. He should do very well. You will already know the answer of course! I follow on Insta and enjoy his duets and sets at his gigs apart from that he is a great fisho too 👏👏 We will all watch and send best wishes. https://www.2ec.com.au/local-news/south-coast-local-aims-to-impress-australian-idol-judges/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I don't usually watch idol and only watched it after reading about it on Raider- WOW! Best of luck Jakob you have a great voice and style. Hope you enjoy becoming a star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I can't play a musical instrument or sing, but I can really appreciate folks who can. Jakob, you have great range in your singing and I hope that you continue to follow your dreams. Wishing you all the very best. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to see if I can find it. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch the show, as I’m flying out to Singapore and Thailand on Monday (in the middle of a super Port Stephens black marlin season mind you! 🤷♂️ One of the top game fishing charter boats tagged 17 the other day. Go figure!). Love Jakob’s voice in that clip! I’m a baritone myself and have to be selective with songs I choose to do. I tune down or change key when I perform on my own but my band seems to like doing songs in their original key. 🤷♂️ Was Jakob’s audition in that register? 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try and find the performance. @JonDI sometimes forget lyrics, too, even to the songs I’ve written myself! My band tries a lot of new songs (to me)… songs that I would not normally have considered singing when performing solo, so for many of them, I like to have lyrics in front of me… even if I don’t look at them all the time, it’s reassuring to know they are there! 😂 Rather than a music stand and folder (which I used to use), I now use an iPad in a holder that clips to my mic stand. I put my songs in an app called OnSong and I can even scroll down or turn pages with a wireless Bluetooth foot pedal. I have over 150 songs in that app. The more I use it, the less I have to use it, if you know what I mean! If Jakob’s interested and would like more info, let me know. 😉 Edited February 11, 2023 by Berleyguts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do all that in the OnSong app. Want to use a capo? Key change/transpose? It’s just a click of a button. If I do a song in a number of different ways (as our band does), I just create another file. You can create setlists and add timings etc. so you can make sure you have enough songs for a gig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocler Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I have seen and heard Jakob playing at the Dromedary Pub in Tilba. Great voice and glad to see him pushing himself further. J 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
