Nanango musician Chrissy Lauder’s latest CD began after a music workshop she attended in Murgon.
Back in 2011, well-known Aussie musos Kev Carmody, Clare Bowditch and Dave Faulkner held a song-writing workshop as part of the Queensland Music Festival.
Chrissy attended and met fellow Nanango musician Tony “Mr Q” Cisneros.
The workshop and Tony’s encouragement eventually led to the creation of Chrissy’s new seven-track CD “Landing”, which was officially launched at The Shed in Nanango on Tuesday night.
Chrissy moved to Nanango about 12 years ago but had been singing professionally for about 30 years before that.
She said the musicians in Nanango were “very inclusive”.
“They love to share the music,” she said. “They’re not precious about their music or their art. That’s a spirit I really love to experience and enjoy.”
She said to create a CD, a singer/songwriter had to have determination, the right musicians and funding.
At times during the process, she could have become “stuck”, but that is where the support of people such as Tony Cisneros had helped so much.
The initial “guide” tracks for the CD were recorded at Tony’s Phantom Studios in Nanango before it was finished at the Sunshine Coast with a group of musicians Chrissy has worked with before.
The CD can be purchased by contacting Chrissy by email

Thanks so much for your time, and the excellent coverage of this very special event for me last night at The Shed. It’s inspiring the way the South Burnett gets behind it’s artistic fold – Cheers!
Wasn’t there to see you in action lovely lady, but happy to hear you are still singing. Won’t forget some fun nights we had together (with lots of your music) some years back.
