An established musician in his own right, Caravãna Sun's popular bass player, Ant Beard is turning tides with the first single, Beneath The Waves from his new solo project launching at Australian Music Week in Sydney, 2 November.

Following the critically acclaimed Whale Song written and sung for Australian surf-rockers Caravãna Sun, Ant Beard returns to the piano for his most powerful work yet creating deep, moving soundscapes with expansive production, stirring vocals and ample space for the listener to dive into.

Australia's iconic Surfers Paradise beachfront lit up last night for the third annual Gold Coast Music Awards, with hundreds treated to a free outdoor concert while inside a sold-out VIP Marquee, the industry named the best in music for the last 12 months.
