SPEED OF PURPLE

Speed of Purple is the newest musical project for ex-Tulipan member Sallie Campbell, showcasing her original songs and instrumentals.

Sallie studied at the Queensland Conservatorium (Piano and Violin) and was a core member of Tulipan whose achievements include an Aria nomination for their debut album, two European tours and winning Triple J's Unearthing the World.

Sallie has written soundtracks for Queensland Theatre Company, La Boite, ABC TV, QLD Performing Arts Complex, and numerous short films.
She has performed and written string arrangements with Speedstar, Grant McLennan, Kate Miller Heidke, Charles Foster Kane, Women in Voice, Christine Johnston, Tylea, Annie Lee, Chris Pickering and Friends of the Iguana.

Speed of Purple instrumentals blend rich folk/gypsy melodies and harmonies with dynamic rhythmic drive. An organic progression from her Tulipan days, these tunes conjure images of wild gypsy fireside parties, and long journeys through mystical landscapes.

The songs reveal a powerful new direction in Sallie's writing, fusing a folk/pop feel with stirring melodies, intricate piano textures and evocative harmonies.
Poignant lyrics muse on the bittersweet beauty of life: hope, love, heartbreak and friendship.

Sallie Campbell: Piano, vocals, violin, songwriter

Speed of Purple plays regularly at quality live music venues throughout Brisbane, including Ric's, The Zoo, Troubadour, Milk Bar and Chill on Queen.
