Many musicians play a token gig in Perth or Fremantle, but few take the time to launch a full-scale tour of Western Australia. So I take my hat off to bluesman Jez Mead, who’ll spend his summer travelling through the Aussie state.
Jez found fame with the catchy track “Sucker” from the independently released EP of the same name. He’ll follow up that release with his debut album Beard of Bees early next year. Music fans can expect to hear tracks from both discs at the following shows.
18 December 2009 – Caves House, Yallingup
19 December 2009 – The Prince of Wales, Bunbury
20 December 2009 – Indi Bar, Scarborough
23 December 2009 – Mojos, North Fremantle
24 & 27 December 2009 – The Premier Hotel, Albany
1 January 2010 – Dunsborough Tavern
3 January 2010 – Settlers Tavern, Margaret River
10 January 2010 – J.B O’Reileys, Perth
15 January 2010 – Norfolk Basement, Fremantle
23 January 2010 – Indifest, Indi Bar, Scarborough
