Peninsula muso drops new single By Andrea Kellett

October is a significant month for Simon Imrei.  The Peninsula-born and bred acoustic guitarist/vocalist is set to launch a new single, titled Let Go, and he will perform it live at the Main Street Mornington Festival on October 15.

Let Go is the first single off Simon’s forthcoming album The Sum of Scenes, a double-disc collection of songs amassed over the four years since his debut album Branching Inward (2012).  He’s also just finished a bunch of gigs around Melbourne, including a September residency at The Retreat Hotel in Brunswick.

The Frankston-born, Mount Eliza-raised muso has been writing, recording and performing music since 2005. He has played live at venues large and small, including Queenscliff and Port Fairy. He splits his time between the city and ‘home’ on the Peninsula, with gigs here at Brass Razu in Main St, Mornington, the Somerville Hotel and more.

The Sum of Scenes (due for release early next year) was, he explains, initially meant to be an EP, but it became much more. There’s also, he adds, a music video on the way.

Let Go is available online via iTunes, Spotify & Google Play. More on Simon Imrei on Facebook (/simonimrei), Instagram (/simonimrei) and at simonimrei.com
