\"\"<\/a>\u201cI think it\u2019s out duty as artists to help where we can, obviously you can\u2019t be everywhere all the time but when the planets line up you can get involved then you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Release: Coinciding with the\u00a0Hay Mate: Buy A Bale \u2013 A Concert For The Farmers\u00a0<\/em>concert, Jon Stevens is releasing a charity single,\u00a0Rain Down On Me<\/em>, with all proceeds going to help the drought-stricken farmers. No stranger to releasing altruistic music for important causes, the plight of the farmers is something that instantly resonated with Jon. Harking from a small farming community in New Zealand that often had its own differing struggles, he feels an affinity with those on the land. More than two decades ago, when drought was impacting Australia in a big way, Jon released another charity single, with proceeds going towards the farmers. Fast forward to 2018, and when he was asked to be part of the\u00a0Hay Mate\u00a0<\/em>concert, he immediately thought back to a recent song he had penned \u2013\u00a0Rain Down On Me<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 and offered it up to Rural Aid for fundraising support.<\/p>\n

In Melbourne we gave Jon Stevens a call to talk about his newest single benefiting the farmers called \u2018Rain Down On Me\u2019, we talked about the song, its creation, touring, his majestic voice, and much more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been just over a year and a half since we last chatted, so let\u2019s catch up, how have the last 18 months been for you?<\/strong>
\nOh flat out, mate *laughs* it\u2019s been fantastic, obviously \u2018Starlight\u2019 helped out and being on the road with that and then coming back into this year I was away overseas for January writing and recording and came back and started touring February 7th<\/sup> and I\u2019ve been on the road all year since then. So I\u2019m looking forward to having December off and time with the family and back into it next year.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us a bit about \u2018Rain Down On Me\u2019 and how the song came about?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s one of the songs I wrote in January and it\u2019s just been sitting in my bag with all of the other songs\u00a0 *laughs* and when I was asked to do \u2018Hay Mate\u2019 and get involved in the raising money for the farmers I became fully aware of what\u2019s been going on in the country and with the farmers and it\u2019s just been devastating, it\u2019s the worst drought on record ever in history and you just think in 2018 how can that be happening? With all the technology and the way we do things nowadays you know, so I got involved and I had this song called \u2018Rain Down On Me\u2019 so I re write a bit of it and just decided I\u2019m gonna give it to the farmers and\u00a0 to rural aid and every cent that it makes is going to go towards helping them and that was my way of just contributing a little more than just getting on stage and performing for one night you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been a big supporter of charities before with your music, how important is it for you as an artist to use your voice to help?<\/strong>
\nLook I think it\u2019s out duty as artists to help where we can, obviously you can\u2019t be everywhere all the time but when the planets line up you can get involved then you do. All the artists I know do it, I do it, it\u2019s just par for the course, music brings people together and that\u2019s the main ingredient I mean a life without music would be pretty dull. That being said the \u2018Hay Mate\u2019 concert was put together by John Farnham and Glenn Wheatley and Channel 9 televised it around the country and all kudos to those guys as they instigated it and put a massive spotlight on the fact of what\u2019s happening out there and on the land. So hopefully other people will do something about it, particularly the government, I was just reading the other day that the current Prime Minister is talking about committing five billion dollars to getting some sort of long term situation happening, I mean build pipelines, I mean they can build pipelines for oil that go around the globe, I\u2019m pretty sure the government can build pipelines that go out to areas that are continually affected by dry weather, or at least have the option you know what I mean?<\/p>\n

I actually grew up with Ricki Rae and you headed up to the country to record this song with him, what did he help bring out in this song that delivered this end result?<\/strong>
\nWell his studio is a great studio, he knows it inside out, he\u2019s a musician and I\u2019ve known him for many, many years, he\u2019s a very well regarded musician and engineer. He\u2019s a talented guy and he loves music and all things sonic, so he\u2019s got a studio out there which as a great drum room, it\u2019s in the country and there\u2019s kangaroos everywhere and animals in the house so it\u2019s just really laid back and really conducive to creating. I took my band in there obviously we\u2019d been on the road and I\u2019d already recorded the song, the song was already there and it was just a matter of sharpening it up and producing it in the right way where it still carried all the ingredients of trying to get this point across. I took my band in there specifically to record the song to give to the farmers and that\u2019s the whole thing with this song and hopefully Australia and everyone with a phone or a device will download it, it\u2019s $1.69 out of your life, it\u2019s nothing but it will go a long way to helping rural aid. I mean what can I say, you do your bit. I mean people in the city and I\u2019ve been guilty of this and it\u2019s why I\u2019m pushing so hard, you just get so insulated, you get immune to the bad things happening in the world, you see it every day on the news and it\u2019s all bad news, bad shit going on everywhere, in the cities we\u2019ve got plenty of everything, and to know that people in the country are really doing it tough it\u2019s like oh my god, what can we do about it, I mean people are proud out there on the land, they don\u2019t put their hand out, they deal with their problems and they try to do the best they can. The song I\u2019ve written is a song about hope, it\u2019s a song about struggle but it\u2019s a song about hope.<\/p>\n

In terms of your song writing there\u2019s always been an honesty and realness in your music, what for you is the most important thing about the way you craft your songs?<\/strong>
\nLook in this case like I said I\u2019d written the song in January and I\u2019d already had the title \u2018Rain Down On Me\u2019, I already had the first verse and the third verse I re-wrote and it gave the song more power, more powerful meaning considering what I\u2019d decide to use it for. So I was just trying to put myself in their shoes, I came from a country background and it\u2019s just writing from the heart really, that\u2019s all you can do, write from the heart and keep it real.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re currently out on tour and your voice is as good as ever, what sorcery do you use to keep it in such good shape?<\/strong>
\nGrey Goose generally *laughs* look, I think it\u2019s like anything, it\u2019s a muscle you work it a lot, I\u2019ve been singing rock and roll all my life and tough wood my vocal chords will be fine, my ears are fine too I don\u2019t have ringing ears, they ring sometimes but from all my friends with tinnitus it\u2019s a horrible thing to have it drives you mad, the ringing in the ears from loud music and touch wood I\u2019ve never had that and I think when you enjoy what you do and I enjoy singing, I really enjoy it *laughs* I don\u2019t think about the bad things that can happen I just enjoy the process and enjoy playing in front of people and giving to people and giving music out. So I think that\u2019s probably what helps me a lot because I don\u2019t worry about all those things, like oh my voice is sore, my throat is sore and I\u2019ve gotta gig on, and I\u2019m still gonna do the gig, I\u2019m always gonna do the gig no matter what because it\u2019s just me, I\u2019m just wired that way.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re doing a \u2018Best Of\u2019 Tour, how hard is it to pick the best when it\u2019s all that damn good?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s been pretty hard but we\u2019re chopping and changing here and there, I mean every song is a single I suppose from over the last thirty years and I guess the other fortunate thing in having been in Noiseworks, INXS, The Dead Daisies, Jesus Christ Superstar, I mean that\u2019s predominantly what I play, and I have to throw in a couple of solo things here and there, I mean two hours has gone by *laughs*.\u00a0 It\u2019s just one of those things where you play what feels good and what the people want, the people that come to my shows are ecstatic to hear songs that I haven\u2019t played in years. So going back through the catalogue was a bit of a real revelation for me actually, because I\u2019ll always think forward, always think what I\u2019m doing now and next, I don\u2019t really think about what I did yesterday or ten years ago or twenty years ago, I mean yeah I sing \u2018Take Me Back\u2019 and I sing \u2018Touch\u2019 and those songs I wrote all those years ago because if I didn\u2019t sing them people would bloody throw things *laughs* and I\u2019m happy to sing them, why wouldn\u2019t I be. You can\u2019t please everybody but you just try to please yourself in the process.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s easy to say what\u2019s changed over your time making music, but what would you say is the one thing that\u2019s stayed the same?<\/strong>
\nWhat\u2019s stayed the same for me is just being in the moment, just recognising that when you\u2019re in the studio and you\u2019re creating and you\u2019ve got an idea that just pops into your head when you playing something and recognising that moment when you take it to another level or the excitement factor goes up and you\u2019ve gotta capture it you know because inspiration is fleeting, it comes in and it goes out as quick as it comes in and no amount of technology is ever going to replace the fact that each individual human being has this thing called inspiration no matter what it is *laughs* and as musicians we get to recognise that ability and harbour it and capture it in music and for me I\u2019m always very aware of creating and finding that groove and finding that thing. It\u2019s a little bit of magic dust and I can\u2019t really put my finger on it, it\u2019s a subconscious thing I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s an intangible thing and then all of a sudden there it is and there\u2019s a song and you go where did that come from? How did that happen to be here? That still amazes me to this day how I have been able to know how I can create something out of absolutely nothing. I cannot paint or draw a stick figure by the way, can\u2019t do it but I can write a song and play music no problem and sing songs, So when look at great art, any art, it just freaks me out how people can do that. So I\u2019m sure with the same with people that think that about people that make music you know.<\/p>\n

Other than the new single, are there things in motion for more new material?<\/strong>
\nYeah, as I said I started recording and writing in January so I\u2019ve got a bunch of stuff already and I\u2019ve done a couple of things whilst I\u2019ve been on the road this year and I\u2019m committing to go back into the studio ASAP with Sammy my guitarist who and I made the \u2018Woman\u2019 album together back in 2015, and it\u2019s one of my favourite records that I\u2019ve done and I want to get creative again with him and have some fun making more music,\u00a0 so certainly something in 2019 for sure.<\/p>\n

Lastly as always let\u2019s try and predict the future, so finish this sentence for me, in 2019 Jon Stevens will\u2026<\/strong>
\nWill be on the Red Hot Summer Tour from February until the end of April and in between I\u2019ll be in the studio and then hopefully probably around August I\u2019ll drop a record.<\/p>\n
