Songs for a Season at Ghost Town Bridge
a CD Book by James Griffin
Bridge Between Press is a new venture in Australian publishing, created to celebrate the intersection between songs and music and the page-based literary traditions of the poem and the short story.
James Griffin is a songwriter, singer, poet, spoken word performer and broadcaster who has shared concert stages with Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello, co-written hit songs with Joe Camilleri and Lee Kernaghan and hosted literary television and radio programs.
Songs for a Season at Ghost Town Bridge is a combined CD and book of songs and prose poems. The songs and poems in the book are also presented as a CD album of sung and spoken word performances. All the tracks are one-take recordings of James singing / reciting and accompanying himself on acoustic guitar or mandolin.
James is a current recipient of a Creative Research Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria where he is researching Victorian country towns to complete a trilogy of Ghost Town Bridge song, poem and story collections.
