Have you ever heard a new song that you swear you’ve heard before? I got that beautiful sense of déjà vu listening to Mel Parsons’ latest single, “Post High Slide.” It feels like a throwback to the glory days of folk music, which talented female singer-songwriters like Carole King and Joni Mitchell ruled the airwaves. On the back of its release, the Kiwi artist is heading to Australia for a string of shows this June.
“I used to get post tour blues pretty bad,” she said. “I’d come home and thump back down to earth after a sustained period of excitement and adventure. Touring is the daily adrenaline shot of performing live, then the contrast of coming back to the reality of domestic life and the never-ending admin of being an indie artist.”
If you’ve seen Mel play leading folk festivals like Woodford, Port Fairy, or Bluesfest, you know how good she is. Don’t miss this opportunity to see her headlining the following shows.
12 June 2025 – Northcote Social Club, Naarm/Melbourne
13 June 2025 – The Bridge Hotel, Djandak/Castlemaine
14 June 2025 – Archies Creek Arts, Gunditjmara Country/Archies Creek
