Fresh, upbeat and just damn catchy, Brisbane based singer-songwriter Bart Thrupp delivers a sunny slice of Aussie life with “Monkey King”, his latest independent 3-track CD single.

After touring extensively throughout 2012, Bart entered the studio with a swag of new material and has emerged with three solid tracks. Folk-pop with a hint of Hip Hop, from the vivacious title track “Monkey King” to the chilled beats of “My Mate the Sun”, this exuberant release gives a tantalising taste of what Thrupp has to offer.

Described as energetic, genuine and undeniably Australian, Bart Thrupp’s enthusiasm for life and for music is contagious. His simple yet dynamic one-man-band set-up is served with irrepressible charm, winning audiences from Cairns to Adelaide. And he’s ready to hit the road again.

Kicking off at the Sunny Coast’s Solbar on October 5, Bart will be heading south playing a run of dates through capital cities and townships from Brisbane to Adelaide.
