In a month's time, I'm thrilled to be playing at Dashville Skyline Festival, at the site of The Gumball festival in the beautiful Hunter Valley of NSW. It's celebration of Americana music, but also ventures into the realms of psychedelica and twanging indie-rock, like I do. I'll be there with the band, and it'll be a hell of a good time. Check out the details and get ticketing info here at the Dashville Skyline homepage. Here's a little video to get your curiosity going too....
Next show with the band is at The Pinnacle Hotel in North Fitzroy on Thursday September 24th. Supporting from 8:30pm is Louis Spoils, and it's going to be a good one. Here's a nice pic taken at The Retreat show on August 27th by Brooke 'Rusty' Russell.
Retreat
I'm playing a headline show at The Retreat Hotel on Thursday September 27th, and joining me for the ride will be the mighty Brooke Russell and the Mean Reds, and local songstress Heloise. I may even have to dye my hair red for the occasion. My trusty band will be along for the ride as usual, and it's going to be a fun time. It's free entry, and kicks off at 8:00pm.
Seen the clip to my new single 'Canyons' yet? Here it is, filmed in the great state of Queensland, and directed by my talented brother Vincent Pickering.
Out-Post-Office
I'm playing a show tonight (Thursday August 6th) in Melbourne at The Post Office Hotel in Coburg, two sets from 8:00pm with the band. If you're out of town or in Sydney though, stream or tune in to The Outpost on 2SER this evening, hosted by Vinny Ramone, where my single 'Canyons' is going to get a spin.
Double
My new single 'Canyons', will be making its ABC debut tonight on Double J Radio when host Henry Wagons gives it a spin on his excellent program, 'The Tower Of Song' sometime from 8:00-10:00pm AEST. Tune in via the web or your favourite mobile listening app...
Dashville
Exciting news to announce here, folks. I'll be joining the amazing lineup of the Dashville Skyline Festival, taking place in Hunter Valley, NSW, on the first weekend of October. It's one of the best lineups for a Cosmic Americana festival that I've seen here in Australia, so be sure to get your tickets. Your senses shall be richly rewarded. Check out the full lineup and details below...
L&O
I've got a rare solo show this Tuesday night July 28th at Fitzroy's greatest secret that people are talking about pretty openly, Little and Olver. I'll be joined by Heather Fiona, and it should be pretty darn good. There's drink and food specials, and it's going to be the best thing you can do in Melbourne on that day, guaranteed. 8:00pm kickoff, and free entry.
Campaigner
I've got gigs coming up: two different ones.
First is this Friday July 24th at The Spotted Mallard in Brunswick, Melbourne with my band, alongside Dan Lethbridge. $10 on the door, 8:30pm start with DJ McGregadeth, and an experience not to be missed.
Then, I'll be playing solo (which is rare these days, by the way - strange times) on Tuesday July 28th at Little and Olver in Fitzroy, Melbourne, alongside Heather Stewart. Free entry, 8:00pm start.
It's single release day! Here's the clip for my new single, 'Canyons', which was directed by my brother Vincent Pickering and shot around our hometown of Warwick, QLD. You can pick up the single from the store page on this site. It will be available from all good internet sellers later in the week.
Premiere
My new single 'Canyons' comes out next week on Tuesday July 21st, but if you can get a sneak peek at it today Saturday July 21st as I'll be premiering it on 'Twang!' with Denise Hylands on Melbourne's Triple R 102.7FM at around 2:50pm AEST. Tune in!
