Hey all I'm Jake...

 

I should say I don't spend a great deal of time online as I'm a very busy fella! My weeks generally vary greatly but usually start with teaching a music therapy class for physically and mentally challenged people every monday which has got to be one of my favourite things. My crew are an awesome bunch and we've got some really cool sounds happening.

 

Tuesdays and wednesdays I work as a teachers aid in a behavioural school for boys and with Aboriginal youth teaching bush tucker, bush medicine and local and Australian history.

 

Thursdays I do bush tucker shows, talks and lectures in pre-schools, primary schools, high schools, tafes, Uni's and many other orginisations. Thursday nights I run an open mike night/musos night for amature and proffesional musicians at the Union hotel/Pulse night spot in Gosford and have been doing so for the past 6 years.

 

Weekends if I'm not playing original music or covers in pubs, clubs and festivals then I've gone bush. Some of my favourite places are Rocky ponds between Woy Woy and Wondabyne, the Watigan mountains 1 hr Nth west of Gosford which runs through to Newcastle and Kuringai national park.

 

I have also spent time with Aboriginal communities learning and sharing knowledge in Kalumburu W.A(Kwiini people), Tennant Creek N.T ( Waramungu), Bathurst N.S.W (Wiradjuri) and locally with the Darkinjung, Guringai and Dharuk people.

 

I love to learn by spending time with people and have spent the last 20 or so years fine tuning my survival skills and uncovering knowledge and gaining experience in the University of the bush. I would have now spent over 1000 nights in the Aussie bush and about 400 of those in my secret cave in Deerubin which is nothing short of paradise!!

 

One of my goals is to establish myself as a nature documentarist and I have started getting as much footage of my bush survival missions and day trips into the beautiful mountains and waterways of this wonderful country. I recently completed my first doco called "bush tucker and the mystery of the Kariong Heiroglyphs" You can buy it now online at www.mmad.myshopify.com So if there's anyone out there who can seriously help me accomplish that dream I am focused, pumped, excited and ready!!
