WANGARATTA singer-songwriter RIFF (Riff Ferguson) has started 2025 on the front foot, releasing his new single 'So Many Memories' today (Friday, January 3) on all streaming platforms of Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, BandCamp, etc.

"The song is about an ode to someone who may have experienced the loss of a loved one," the 28-year-old said.

"It's also about offering solace and leaving a powerful sense of hope for reunion in the next life."

RIFF drew on his personal experiences with loss from when he started his songs journey in early 2022, creating a sense of understanding and unity between musician and listener, bringing to light the universal emotions loss garners.

"It captures the depth of loss while expressing the comforting belief that those who have passed on remain connected in spirit," he said.

RIFF started playing music at the age of 10, becoming a professional musician eight years ago.

He tours on a regular basis, performing live mostly on weekends around regional Victoria and in New South Wales.

RIFF will be performing at the Vine Hotel at Wangaratta from 12:30pm to 2:30pm on Sunday, January 12, where you can hear 'So Many Memories' live.
