The 2009 Castlemaine State Festival is nearly upon us and we have music to learn and things to organise. If you are a member of the 'Chat Warblers', 'The Acafellas', the 'Festival Youth Choir' or the 'Castlemaine Peace Choir' then the music you are probably looking for is here.

The Rainmakers new album,"Singing Up A Storm", is finished and we're really looking forward to launching it in Castlemaine and Melbourne over the next couple of weeks. We recorded all the tracks at home but mixed at a new studio facility here in Castlemaine, 'Instramental', with Aria award winning engineer Mickey Levis. We then mastered it at Dex audio in Melbourne.

We are really pleased with the result and were thrilled to have an opportunity to travel around New Zealand with it for 3 weeks during September and October. We had eleven concerts in all from Oamaru in the South to Auckland in the North. Our performing muscles got strong and now we are busting to do some gigs back home.

Castlemaine CD launch: Nov 7 at the Mt Alexander Golf Club, was a fantastic night with a huge crowd and we even managed to pull off 28 ml of rain just for the occasion.

Melbourne CD launch: Nov 8 at The Boite, Mark St. Hall, Nth Fitzroy. 8pm.

We are sharing this concert with Rod Waterman and Doug DeVries which is a bit of a thrill as they are two of Australia's finest musicians playing Brazilian music and more on recorder and guitar.
