Welcome to the Well Oiled Machine! Be prepared to be inspired!
Since uniting their efforts in 2020, the members of the group have recorded 18 songs bound for their album.
The band is disability led, with a mix of neurodiversity and physical challenges. Every instrumentalist in this band is an APRA award-winning songwriter (in addition to the hundreds of other awards they have garnered between them). They have a commitment to spreading disability awareness through Gerry’s own unique story and aim to reach out to others struggling with their own disabilities and mental health.
This project is right up there with their most important and satisfying work as they have been so inspired by collaborating with Gerry.
Gerry Smith is a Melbourne singer-songwriter whose indomitable spirit and positive energy is an inspiration to all who meet him.
Gerry has merged his screen writing and poetry skills with his love of jazz singing. His debut album comes later in life for Gerry, due to accessibility issues earlier on in his career. Creating his enriching and life- affirming album, which draws on his experience of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s and his experience of living as a man with cerebral palsy, is a wonderful insight into a unique life, well-lived.
Bringing his vision together with his APRA award-winning collaborators, Gerry has more than 20 songs to choose from to make his debut album.
Busking his own original songs on the street, Gerry has truly taken music to the people and the response has been awesome! There is great anticipation for the release of his album, slated for later in 2023.
