GIRLS ROCK RADIO!


I got some great news today! An online radio station from the U.S has added 2 of my songs to their playlist! "Taken" and "Where The Wild Things Are" are both now on regular rotation on the oh so cool, "Girls Rock Radio" - "The Soundtrack
For Your Awesome Life!" lol!

Here's some info about the station...

"My name is Mot, and I run the station from the Girls Rock Radio studios in south central Wisconsin, USA -- a suburb of our capital city, Madison WI, called Middleton. It's my goal to keep the station living up to its tag line, "Hot, Sexy, and way too much Fun !!" while giving you great depth of music from today's all-girl or girl-fronted bands."

To listen online go to their web site and choose your player - it's easy.

Bye for now,

"ARTIST OF THE WEEK" THIS WEEK ON THE GOLD COAST'S 107.3FM !




DJ and radio personality, Benni Mihan, at Life 107.3 fm on the Gold Coast (QLD Australia) invited me to be their "Artist Of The Week" week so I'm excited about that! It means 107.3 will air a segment of the interview we recorded last week every night THIS week.

We talked about a bunch of things like how I got started song writing right through to finding myself at Russell Crowe's post Oscar party at the Bel Air Hotel in LA a few years back. Surreal! lol!

I'm looking forward to hearing the new single, "Tonight" go to air with them as well!

Yep, we've decided to send out a new single to radio next week. I love "Tonight" and the big chorus and Dan's rockin' guitar solo on that track. I hope people out there might dig it like we do.

The Missing Bath Tub and The Maharishi

It's a windy and rainy Sunday night as I type this and I'm wishing we had a bath tub in this apartment... what kind of condo doesn't come with a bath? Crazy!
Dan and I've been talking a lot about getting my web site revamped and hope to do that soon - with decent media players so we can post podcasts for you to listen to. I want to tell some stories about my wacky childhood and Dad's Jet powered truck... and how I came to be the fringe dweller I am. lol!
We had a great Valentine's Day - we went out to a lovely seafood restaurant and had mussels, scallops, oysters and champagne. Yum. Dan surprised me with this envelope at dinner - he said I'd been wanting this for years and I couldn't think for the life of me what he was talking about... But I'm so wrapped! It is a gift voucher for a Shirodhara Ayurvedic treatment at a spa near us! This is an ancient Ayurvedic beauty and health treatment that is supposed to be very calming and cleansing - I think it involves warm oil being poured on your third eye area for about an hour and finishes with a head massage. One of my best friends has had it and says it's quite transcendental. I can't wait!
Speaking of transcendental, I hear the Maharishi, founder of TM, kicked the frame. I was initiated into the practice of transcendental meditation in the late 90's and I'll be eternally grateful for what it's brought me - thanks, guru, for your intrepid spirit and the teachings you brought to the west!
Well, I'm gonna finish this bottle of Semillon and watch an Australian comedy on the mad box (Australian for "TV") tonight.
Cheers,
Fiona.

SEX & CHOCOLATE!

Hey guys!

Today I'm just letting you know about this sexy little song, "For The Love Of You" (The Chocolate Song) on my new record “Shadow Wine and Truth Lilies”. People always ask me if the song’s about chocolate or SEX? Well the answer is “both!”

Anyway, it's a groovy little mid tempo with a bossa nova feel and even a little sultry jazz alto sax thrown in... it might be handy if you have some seduction planned for this Valentine's Day!?.. Hey, I'd be happy to help! lol.

You can buy it online via iTunes and at just about any online store or from my online store at www.fionakernaghan.com

Have a free listen first on my myspace page - just click on the title "For The Love Of You" - on my music player.

Happy Valentines Day!

Mood Media & Music Network Magazine



I stopped by the harbour side offices of Mood Media on a trip to Sydney and met the wonderful staff there, including their director of music programming, Cathy Lee. Mood Media have been great supporters of the new record and have added the first single, You Can Call Me Baby, to their in store play lists across the country. Now what do you know, Cathy Lee and I ended up in the "Look At Me!" pages of Music Network Magazine this week! I'm looking forward to seeing Cathy when I'm in Sydney again and perhaps we'll have time for a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc next time!

The "Woman's Day" Magazine Interview is out now!



I wrote a blog a while back about this interview I did with Australia’s “Womans Day” Magazine. Well the article just came out this week – in the edition with Princess Mary, Katie Holmes and Oprah on the cover.

It’s the first time ever that my brother, Lee, my sister, Tania and myself (pictured above) have been interviewed together. We had a great time and they squeezed a fair bit into a 2 page spread – the whole piece (including more about my sexy American husband and producer, Dan) is also posted on the “Womans Day” website. The link to that page if you wanna check it out is –
