I can’t tell you how excited I am about the upcoming Whitley tour in May.
Yes Whitley’s wonderful, and he’s impressing all the right people in the United States so we won’t get to see this local singer-songwriter as much as we’d like. But that’s not the only reason I’m thrilled.
Whitley’s bringing American musician Howie Day out here as his support act. It’s kind of funny that it’s taken this Boston boy until now to get to Oz considering his debut album is called Australia. But he’s finally heading out here and I’m thrilled. I was lucky enough to see him play in New York City back in 2004, and I can assure Aussie audiences they’re in for a real treat. Howie will join the tour in Katoomba and play the remaining shows.
Seagull will also be along for the ride.
If you love good looking guitar boys in the vein of John Mayer, Josh Pyke, and Ryan Adams you’re going to love this show. Considering the bargain price of these tickets, you’d be crazy not to snap them up. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
