Newton Faulkner is one of my new favourite singer-songwriters. I always did have a thing for a mellow guitar boy. The good news is that he’s heading back to Australia for some intimate theatre shows in September.
He was a relative unknown when he came out here to play at the Blues and Roots festivals this March. But his stand-out performance won over the crowds, and that’s where the buzz all started.
Fast forward a few months and his song “Dream Catch Me” is all over radio and the album Hand Built By Robots is a firm fixture in the Aussie top 10.
Tickets are on sale now through all the usual outlets. See Newton at the following venues:
3 September 2008 – Capitol, Perth
5 September 2008 – Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide
6 September 2008 – The Forum, Melbourne
8 September 2008 – Enmore Theatre, Sydney
10 September 2008 – The Tivoli, Brisbane
