Ahead of their December show at Main Ridge, the Mornington Peninsula alt-country band have released their second single, I Want To Own A Farm With You, which they describe as a “heartwarming and humorous track (that) paints a vivid picture of a couple's dream of escaping the city and building a life together on a hobby farm”.

“My plan is to release three singles, followed by an EP and then an album, culminating in an Australian trip/tour towards the end of 2025. This is a huge step

I’ve loved every bit; however, my heart yearns to be an artist on stage.” The band, whose debut single The Olden Days reached No.2 on the AMRAP chart after just seven days, said the new single’s “catchy melody and relatable lyrics (offer) a refreshing take on country music. The song's lyrical depth, combined with Hazel's soulful vocals and the talented musicianship of (Golden Guitar and ARIA Award-winner) Matt Fell, Josh Schumann and Luke Moller, creates a truly memorable listening experience”. You can catch Hazel & The Thief with Green Fieldz, Rose Caulfield and Nat Allison at Hay Bales & Headbangers on Saturday, December 14, at The Pig & Whistle in Main Ridge. www.mpmag.com.au
