I started a new music project in Australia: Yentl As Anything

It’s been quite the year. We suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a pandemic. Travel plans stayed out as simply no travelling occurred. And like almost all scenarios for everybody seemed not to work out, the same goes for someone travelling the world. It gets complicated when all countries, states, and cities suddenly close their borders. Moving to King Island for four months suddenly became ten months longer than expected. Only recently, we celebrated my first whole year on the island. 

But good and bad things usually come together. I didn’t travel but suddenly had the chance to connect deeper with the island and its people. Besides teaching and getting involved with the local recording studio, I started my new music project: Yentl As Anything.

The start of my new music project: Yentl As Anything

Yentl As Anything was formed quickly after realising I would stay longer on King Island than expected. We started rehearsing on and off, following the guidelines from Tasmania. Luckily, we never had any lockdowns on the island, but the limits on gathering with people weren’t helping.

Eventually, we got our first playlist together and played a debut concert at the Currie club last August. Dancing wasn’t allowed but seeing everybody moving in their chairs gave us the energy to continue. Since my new Australian working holiday visa extension requires me to work until the end of January, we still have time for more Yentl As Anything gigs. Besides, the Covid-19 restrictions are easing, and dancing will be allowed again this time! We put some effort into getting some dates together, and I’m happy to share them here. 🙂
