The upcoming 2023 edition of the Keep The Circle Unbroken tour has expanded, with artists including The Waifs‘ Vikki Thorn joining Melbourne roots outfit Row Jerry Crow for the six-date trek. The shows will also see Mick Thomas, Kylie Auldist, Debra Byrne, and more performing at select dates.
Originally held in 2020, Keep The Circle Unbroken was envisioned as a way for Australian artists to perform a mixture of their own material inspired by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 1972 album, Will The Circle Be Unbroken. With lockdowns and border restrictions keeping the inaugural event confined to only Victorian artists, 2023 will see the tour crossing borders for the first time, with dates planned for Tasmania and South Australia.
The Keep The Circle Unbroken tour will hit the road in early 2023:
The tour will have a batch of consummate professionals on board, with Roy Jerry Crow featuring The Screaming Jets’ Paul Woseen, My Friend The Chocolate Cake’s Greg Patten, The Masters Apprentices’ Rob Hornbuckle, Coburg Tipping of Russell Morris’ band, Uncle Bill’s John Kendall, and Delsinki. Alongside Thorn (who appears on all dates), Monique Brumby, Ange Boxall, Paul Costa, and many more artists will perform at various stops on the tour.
“In a world that seems to be at each other’s throats every other second, and not LISTENING to each other, we wanted to create a musical message that would inspire everybody to stop and reflect on what is important in life,” Delsinki said of the story behind the Keep The Circle Unbroken tour.
“Putting our heads together we thought we’d get our eclectic bunch of mates all together in one room and show the connection and artistry that comes from music,” they added. “We got an incredible response.”
