Garry Hudson – Live & Free

Garry Hudson – Live & Free

2018 marks 46 years playing pubs, clubs and parties. I guess I am lucky to be able to do
something I love and be able to get paid for it. From Club Med Malaysia to The Able Tasman
rocking back and from every night on Bass Strait to some really way out parties, music has
taken me all over the place and given lots of opportunities to meet people.

Having the opportunity to share the stage with some great musicians over the years has taught
me to appreciate different talents, instruments and styles of music. I definitely have a passion
for classic rock and big ballads that tell a story.

I learned one thing from Aussie rock legend Ted Mulry years ago – don’t let your ego get
bigger than your talent. I like to think that one lesson has been the thing that has kept me in
the game for so long. With that in mind I have always tried to tackle the songs I can do best
and not take on things that won’t work for my voice.

At every gig I aim to target songs best suited to my audience and have a wide repertoire
which sees me through most situations, the audience will generally know most of the
material.

While I am strongly influenced by artists like The Eagles, Phil Collins. Eric Clapton, The
Beatles, Garth Brooks, I don’t forget that my audience may have other favourite genres, rock
and roll or country.
