Heath Robertson back on track after pandemic

Young local musician Heath Robertson is launching his new single You Can Be Found at the Barwon Club on Sunday, May 14.

The award-winning artist will deliver a set of new, original songs including the long-awaited single and its B-side, and will be joined by band newcomers Fin Strijker on electric guitar (Fenn Wilson), Alister Hull on bass (Pollyman) and mainstay David Robertson on drums.

You Can Be Found is being released on 7” vinyl and has notable early Aussie pop-rock influences; think the Easybeats meets Sunnyboys).

Side B wields a bit more grunt, but is equally as impressive as its flip side. The new single will be accompanied by a video clip created by Willem Kingma.

Robertson is no stranger to performing or recording, with an impressive string of awards, accolades and experiences already under his belt.

At the completion of his schooling in 2019, he went on to study sound engineering at RMIT in Melbourne and had plans to record and release some of his new material as well as work with other artists.

But like so many others, those plans were greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and it’s taken some time to find his way once again.

Robertson not only recorded all instruments and vocals – aside from harmonica, which was played by long-time friend and musical peer Jack Meredith – but also produced and recorded both tracks.

Supporting Heath Robertson and band are local upcoming artists Carly Jorja and Paraquay, with doors opening at 4:30pm Sunday.
