Ex-Snowman founding member Joe McKee’s hitting the road this week to promote his exquisite solo album Burning Boy.

Joe will make pit stops in capital cities around the country, including what’s sure to be an interesting performance at the Uniting Church in the Sydney suburb of Paddington. It’s likely to beat any pub with drunk punters and a sticky floor!

10 August 2012 – Estonian Club, North Adelaide
11 August 2012 – Grace Darling, Collingwood, Melbourne
16 August 2012 – Paddington Uniting Church, Sydney

Snowman’s Joe McKee Goes Solo

Former Snowman singer Joe McKee is going it alone with his first solo release, Burning Boy.

The recording of Burning Boy saw Joe returning to his hometown of Perth after four years living in London. He came back with a head full of songs about the dissolution of his old band, his life in the United Kingdom, and the return to the land of his birth. Once back on home soil he reconnected with his long-time collaborator Dave Parkin and set about putting the songs he’d collected over the past three years down.

The album represents a real shift in Joe’s sound. The pulsing rhythm section we associate with Snowman is gone, replaced by more intimate vocals.

Burning Boy hits record stores on May 25.
