Jimmy Barnes is going to be celebrating the release of his 20th studio album, Flesh And Blood with a national tour this July.
He’s kicking the tour off on release day in Perth, on Friday, 2nd July. He’ll then be taking the album through Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane, before wrapping things up in Sydney.
The tour is all ages too.
“It’s great to be back playing live again,” says Barnes in a media release.
“It was good to get some downtime at home for a change but now we’re hungry to get back onstage together. If 2020 taught me anything it’s that Facebook and YouTube videos can be fun but they’re no substitute for a real gig.”
He also chats about the features on his album, pointing to his at-home family performances through lockdown last year.
“Jane and I have been married for four decades but I’ve basically always been on the road so this was literally the first time we’ve ever spent so many months at home,” he says.
“It made me realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by our big musical family. As you can tell from all those songs we posted online we really like to sing with each other, so making an album with lots of the people I love felt like a natural way to help us pass this time together.”
You can see all the features on the album down below in the tracklisting. Find the Flesh and Blood tour dates below too and have a listen to the title track.
