Building on the announcement last week of her metro tour of churches and
cathedrals, Kate Miller-Heidke will be embarking on her first extensive
regional tour since 2009. Taking place in theatres around the country
throughout May and June, tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday March 22nd
2013.
Described as a ‘triumphant statement’ (Daily Telegraph) and a ‘masterpiece’
(The Brag), Kate’s 3rd studio album ‘Nightflight’ was released last
year to critical acclaim, debuting at #2 on the ARIA album charts. Previously
Kate’s first album ‘Little Eve’ achieved gold status and received four ARIA
nominations, her second album ‘Curiouser’ going on to reach double platinum
sales in Australia, spawning two platinum hits ‘Last Day On Earth’ and ‘Caught
In The Crowd’. In 2009 Kate, along
with collaborator Keir Nuttall, became the first Australian to win the grand
prize in the International Songwriting Competition for ‘Caught In The Crowd’.
The past year has been a
whirlwind for Kate as she undertook two national tours, dates in Asia and
Europe, a handful of festivals including Splendour In The Grass,
Woodford Folk Festival and Pyramid Rock, a headline tour across the US, as
well as a return visit to support the newly re-formed Ben Folds Five in stadiums
throughout the country. Kate also performed a principle role in “The
Death of Klinghoffer” with the English National Opera in their 2012 London
season. In 2013 she will be singing again with the English National Opera
in the world premier of “Sunken Garden”, a sci-fi opera written by Michel
Van der
Aa and David Mitchell
(bestselling author of 'Cloud Atlas'), in which Kate will be appearing
on stage via 3D projection.
And now, for the first time since the release of ‘Nightlfight’, Kate is
heading out on the road for an extensive tour of regional centres around
Australia. Playing in intimate theatres and venues, Kate will be performing as
a duo with her long-time collaborator Keir Nuttall on guitar.
Kate says, “Of course I love
playing in the capital cities, but there is something very special about the
audiences in regional areas. It has been more than three years since my
last big regional tour, so this one is long overdue. These fans are
hugely important to me, and I can't
wait to see them!”
Supporting all shows on the
tour will be Franky Walnut, a well-scrubbed country boy who has been
enthralling audiences both locally and at home with his extensive back
catalogue of between 6 and 7 songs, most of which he can remember the lyrics to
without prompting. His material tackles weighty issues such as Australian
identity and ringworm. He was a finalist in the first round heats of the
Clintonvale State School talent quest and pie drive in 1987, after which he
managed to kiss Shelley Nolan on the oval.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience an up close and personal night
with Kate Miller-Heidke as she tours Australia throughout May and June.
