Judging by the song titles on Americana artist Cristina Vane’s debut full-length album,
Nowhere Sounds Lovely, one might think it’s a collection of covers. The ten tracks have familiar names such as “Blueberry Hill”, “Badlands”, and “Travelin’ Blues”. But Vane’s not offering her interpretations of classics by Fats Domino, Bruce Springsteen, or Blind Willie McTell. Instead, she finds inspiration in the same things that stimulated the other artists: the American landscape, the open road, and the itch to keep moving. Vane was born in Italy and grew up in Europe before heading to the United States to attend university. She graduated from Princeton with a degree in Comparative Literature before heading out and honing her skills. She moved first to California and then to Nashville and has traveled the country in search of its heart and soul.

Rockhampton racing’s longest-serving current resident jockey John Stephens makes his return to race riding at Callaghan Park on Saturday after an absence of eight months.
Stephens, who has been associated and enjoyed major success with some highly talented horses during his career including Eye Liner Stakes winner Leroy’s Magic, has been off the scene since last June.
Ironically, in Saturday’s Open Handicap (1050m) at the Rockhampton Jockey Club’s Callaghan Park TAB races, he combines with one of the district’s most talented young sprinters in Lepreezy.
