Jim Moginie, a driving force behind Midnight Oil, will be launching his new album of songs ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Fine’, on December 6, 8, 12, 13 and 15, in intimate Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Wollongong and Byron Bay venues, playing seated behind a piano, with special guest legendary drummer Hamish Stuart. The title track to his album ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Fine’ is released as a single today.
Since Midnight Oil’s final ‘Resist’ world tour in 2022, Jim has been busy launching his solo guitar album ‘Murmurations’ as well as his stunning memoir ‘The Silver River’ a moving and inspiring story of families lost and rediscovered. Threaded with vivid recollections of childhood, behind the scenes stories of band life and fascinating insights into the creative processes that produced some of this country’s most beloved songs, ‘The Silver River’ is described as “a work of unforced poetry” (Michael Dwyer, Sydney Morning Herald) and “a patient work of great beauty” (Andrew McMillen, The Australian).
Ahead of the album release (Dec 6) and tour, Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips caught up with Jim for a chat about his new record but also discussed his role in Midnight Oil’s sound.
