We Two Thieves Announce ‘At Midnight We Ride’ Tour

We Two Thieves, the new folk-Americana music project from Mama Kin and Emily Lubitz of Tinpan Orange, will release their debut album At Midnight We Ride on Friday, 17th October and in celebration they’re heading out on tour.

The We Two Thieves national tour will kick off on Saturday, 1st November in Fremantle before moving on to Perth, Newcastle, Bellingen, Grafton, Gold Coast, Geelong, Healesville and Melbourne, as the outfit bring their expertly-crafted harmonies to venues across the country.

“We have such a mutual appreciation for each other as artists and people that this project makes so much sense,” Lubitz says. “The songs seemed to come so easily and singing and playing around just one microphone was the perfect way to record. This is a truly special project and joyfulness accompanied us every step of the way.”
