After kicking off the tour in Adelaide and warming the wintry hearts of the people of Tasmania, the United Tour is warming up and rolling into Queensland this week. With a constantly revolving spotlight, the five performers have well and truly meshed their individual forms into a new super-breed of singer/songwriter style. But wait, the best is yet to come!
QLD SHOWS:
Wednesday May 6 | Railway Hotel, Byron Bay (QLD)
Thursday May 7 | The Basement (GC Arts Centre), Gold Coast (QLD)
Friday May 8 | The Troubadour, Brisbane (QLD)
Saturday May 9 | Bon Amici, Toowoomba (QLD)
Sunday May 10 | Joe’s Waterhole, Eumundi (QLD)
——————————————————–
In an innovative move that will see five of the country’s hottest emerging musicians join together for a nationwide jaunt, the United Tour has been designed with a difference.
Five artists of varying shades; Tara Simmons (QLD), Edward Guglielmino (QLD), mcArtney (NSW), Coby Grant (VIC) and Simon Kelly (WA) are putting their play nice together skills to the test as they share an array of instruments and stages, as well as driving duties and servo sandwiches, to take the United Tour to the masses around Australia.
The lineup will see the fantastic five on stage together, intertwining stories with song, for the entirety of the show. They will perform their own songs, sometimes alone, sometimes helping each other out with additional instrumentation, and perhaps even jumping in on a few covers together. Individual styles will be meshed, tales will be spun about their lives and music, and the spotlight will be shared in what is set to be a truly one-off, spontaneous musical extravaganza.
And if you’re very lucky, a collaborative ode to chicko rolls could well emerge by the time the last roadhouse stop for the United Tour is done and dusted.
