The Jimmy Barnes ‘Welcome To The Pleasure House’ tour is shaping up to be a family affair with the addition of his brother Swanee, brother-in-law Diesel and pal Adam Brand onto various stages of the tour.
Jimmy’s opening act on many of the shows will be his daughter Eliza-Jane and musical partner Ceci as Evil J & Saint Cecila. Jimmy’s other daughter Mahalia will sing with him on many of the shows. ‘Feels Right’, a new, unreleased song from Jimmy, was recorded with Mahalia in Amsterdam in June.
The ‘Welcome To The Pleasure House’ tour takes its name from Jimmy’s new song ‘Pleasure House’ co-written with Jackson and Harrison Freud, the sons of the late James Freud. All ticket holders will receive a free download of the song.
“I am writing songs for a new album at the moment and I thought it might be nice to give fans a taste of things to come,” Jimmy said in a statement. “So I have decided to give anyone who buys a ticket to the show a copy of a new song I wrote with Jackson and Harrison Freud. The song is called Pleasure House and I have decided to name the tour after the song. So, Welcome to the Pleasure House, let’s all have a wild time.”
The tour will kick off on August 4 in Canberra.
