SATURDAY
Performance: A show at the Timboon Hotel on Saturday will be another step closer to Jessica Skye's debut recording.
The south-west singer-songwriter is coming off gigs at The Last Coach and The Loft in Warrnambool last weekend.
After six years playing live in south-west, Melbourne and Bendigo, Skye is ready to lay down some tracks.
"I'm recording at the moment and hopefully by early next year I will have an EP out," she said.
"I've got a lot of songs in my back catalogue, I love writing songs.
"I play mostly just me and my guitar and my sound is a bit of everything, indie, folk, pop, blues.”
Skye will play at the Birregurra Festival in October and will also be a regular at the fresh markets at Lake Pertobe on Sunday mornings.
