Patrick James California Song Launch Shows
Port Macquarie native Patrick James has announced his first ever solo headlining shows for Sydney and Melbourne audiences where he will preview songs from his anticipated debut album, including his brand new single California Song.
“The song is about starting again, making mistakes, forbidden love and finding a new path and following it, even if you don’t know where you’ll end up,” explains James. “The lyric ‘Meet me in California’ is meant to suggest wanting to be in a place where your slate is clean and there is only you and the one you love, and that’s all that matters for that moment in time.”
Have a listen to the heartfelt song and see the show details below.

As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, it becomes a little more difficult to persuade yourself out of the house, but never fear Ceres are here to give you the motivation you need.

Joined by slacker rockers The Pretty Littles, they of Man Baby fame, and Adelaide’s Sincerely Grizzly, Ceres will be playing stages in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide this July. They’ll play material from their I Don’t Want To Be Anywhere But Here album, the Selfish Prick EP, their Valentine’s Day single Ceres Is For Lovers and perhaps even some new tunes.
