Media Release
Including Robert Oatley Vineyards, Mudgee
With a #1 debut for his new album ‘Departures’, rave reviews,
press covers everywhere, plenty of radio love and fans more than thrilled
with his new songs, Bernard Fanning is once again at the forefront of
Australian music.
And that being said, it’s the perfect time to announce the much-loved,
multi-awarded singer-songwriter has teamed up with the equally much-loved
winery event a day on the green for a series of concerts nationally in late
October/November.
Fanning is set to bring his acclaimed ‘Tea & Sympathy’ and
‘Departures’ albums to the stage on a warm summer’s night against
the back-drop of the beautiful vineyards of Mudgee and the Hunter Valley
in NSW, Barossa Valley in SA, Yarra Valley in VIC and Mt Cotton in Qld,
and the picturesque Kings Park in Perth. How good will this be?
Special guests on the tour – also making their a day on the green debut – will be the
iconic Cruel Sea, along with the incredible Sarah Blasko and the charming
Bob Evans. The tour will kick off on Saturday October 26 at Robert
Oatley Vineyards - the 13th a day on the green event in Mudgee.
“I'm
really looking forward to these a day on the green shows,” Fanning said. “I have been hearing
about them for years and am glad to be playing my new songs in such
a dignified setting. And I'm looking forward to a couple of vinos with
Bob Evans, Sarah Blasko and The Cruel Sea.”
Fanning’s ‘Departures’ album, which debuted at #1
on the ARIA chart last week, is his first since Powderfinger called
it a day and is the highly anticipated follow up to his 5 x Platinum
solo debut ‘Tea & Sympathy’. His recording success is
paralleled in the live arena, where he has proved again and again why
he is one of Australia’s finest and most popular live performers.
He is delighted to have three top quality Australian acts in The Cruel
Sea, Sarah Blasko and Bob Evans joining him for what promises to be
a very special a day on the green.
The unstoppable force that is the Cruel Sea - Tex Perkins, James Cruickshank,
Dan Rumour, Jim Elliot and Ken Gormley – has been on a day on the green’s hit list for quite
a while. Live performances may be sporadic these days, but the band’s
collective chemistry and the swagger and power of their unmistakable
grooves remains unrivalled.
Sarah’s fourth album ‘I Awake’ has re-affirmed her status
as one of the country’s most outstanding and most applauded artists......‘a
defining, unsettling masterpiece’ (Rolling Stone), ‘a
great Australian talent’ (The Australian), ‘a truly once in a lifetime artist’ (West
Australian) and ‘captivating’ (Herald Sun). After
a sojourn in Paris touring and promoting ‘I Awake’, the ARIA award-winning
Best Female Artist returns home in July to co-incide with the release
of the haunting new single ‘All Of Me’. Enchanting and undeniably
brilliant, Sarah is set to thrill a day on the green audiences.
Bob Evans, the lovable alter-ego of Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell,
has been charming fans with his quirky solo projects for the past decade.
His fourth album instalment ‘Famous Stranger’ was released in March
and showcases a progressive pop sound that is downright irresistible.
He’s sure to be a crowd pleaser at the upcoming concerts.
Fanning is the first national tour announcement for the upcoming –
and 13th - a day on the green summer season for which
promoter Roundhouse Entertainment is pleased to welcome two sponsors,
AAMI and Sunsuper.
Bernard Fanning, The Cruel Sea, Sarah Blasko and Bob Evans – sounds
like a wonderful day of great Australian music!
