Irish singer songwriter Luka Bloom will return to Australia in 2016.
The Australian tour will coincide with the release of Luka’s 20th album ‘Frugalisto’. The album will have its world premiere release in Australia.
“Australia is the country where the new record will be first released, and I am thrilled about that. The song Frugalisto was inspired by an amazing group of young men and women who live near me in the West of Ireland. They are people with 2 particular passions in life. They are surfers, but more importantly, they are actively devoted to sustainable lives, working with the earth, without destroying her. Many of the songs on this record are inspired by the people where I live. And one of the songs is called Australia. It is a simple love song to a country that means so much to me; a place I have missed this past 3 years. I can’t wait to sing my new songs in Australia. And am thrilled that the first tour in my calendar for 2016, is Australia” said Luka.
Luka Bloom first made an impact in Australia with his 1992 album ‘The Acoustic Motorbike’. The album featured his acoustic cover of the LL Cool J hit ‘I Need Love’.
