Recorded live at KC’s Bar & Grill in Airlie Beach — a long-time home for local music — this session features songwriter Scotty Wilson, performing three originals in an intimate, stripped-back setting before settling in for a candid conversation.

Scotty plays “Autumn”, “The Storm”, and “Whisper”, captured live inside the venue, followed by a relaxed chat with host Nick Di Gregorio once the performance wraps and the space quietens down.

The two dig into the rise of original music in Airlie, early musical roots, busking days, travel stories, community, collaboration, and the surprisingly deep rabbit hole of gig rigs, trolleys, amps, and the little bits of gear that make a musician’s life easier.
