Hamish Anderson Impresses on Aussie Tour Ahead of Album Release

Melbourne expat Hamish Anderson has been generated plenty of buzz through his support slot on Gary Clark Jr.’s tour. Expect the hype to continue when he releases his sophomore album Out of My Head on May 3.

His current single “What You Do To Me” is a great taster of this guy’s skills. There’s a cool, natural groove to what he does. It’s never overstated; you probably won’t catch this guy doing wild guitar solos, even though he could probably pull them off. Instead his music sneaks up on, getting under your skin before you realise it.

Hamish has one more show on Gary Clark Jr’s tour before he returns to the US. If you’re seeing Gary at Perth’s Concert Hall tomorrow night, make sure you arrive early enough for that support slot. Hopefully he returns to Oz for some headlining shows really soon.

Hamish Anderson Returns Home

It takes a special someone to score the support slot for a legend like BB King. Someone like Melbourne born guitarist and songwriter Hamish Anderson.

Before he warms up the stage for BB, Hamish will be back on home soil to support the release of his swampy, sexy new single “Burn” and his new EP Restless, which hits stores on November 7. Hamish said he “wanted the recording to capture the sound, to be like a Polaroid. Imperfections and all.” And isn’t that refreshing in this day of autotune?

Hamish is basing himself in the U.S. now, so this is a rare chance to see this Australian-born talent performing. Tickets are on sale now for the following shows.

13 November 2014 – Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne
20 November 2014 – Side Bar @ Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle
21 November 2014 – Oaf Sydney, Sydney
