John Butler will head out on tour across Australia soon for his solo ‘Tin Shed Tales’ tour.
The tour is a rare chance for fans to hear the songs of John Butler stripped back and laid back. “I’m really excited about this tour. There is something special about stripping all the bells and whistles off and really feeling the power of less is more,” John said in a statement.
John performed a ‘Tin Shed Tales’ show just before Christmas in Perth. That one-off show for 300 people was announced 24 hours before it happened and sold out in 7 minutes.
John will be roadtesting some brand new, unrecorded and never before played songs on this tour.
Guests on the tour are Felicity Groom and Mama Kin.
