Following a triumphant debut voyage to Australia earlier this year, multiple-CCMA and Juno Award winners, Doc Walker, are returning here again in January 2011, for three shows only! The first show is a one-off event at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, followed by a concert in Brisbane and another in Sydney.
“We had such an incredible time in Australia”, said Doc Walker’s Chris Thornsteinson. “The way we were embraced by the Aussie crowds is unlike anything we’ve experienced outside of Canada. We can’t wait to get back!”
Doc Walker’s 2010 Australian Tour kicked off at CMC Rocks the Snowys Festival in Thredbo, followed by dates around NSW and QLD with Texan country-rocker, Jack Ingram, and our own Steve Forde. With their soaring harmonies, tight band interplay and easy-rockin’ country sound, the Canadian trio won over crowds around the country, making many new fans who are clamouring for them to return.
Their new album, “Go”, debuted at #12 on the ARIA Country Chart earlier this year. Their current single, ”I’m Gonna Make You Love Me”, just topped the Canadian video charts and features footage from their first Australian trip.
It was just announced that Doc Walker received nine nominations for the 2010 CCMA Awards, including Album, Single and Group of the Year.
The Doc Walker 2011 Australian Tour will kick off at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, after which you can catch them at Brisbane’s Pioneer Village Country Music Club and Sydney’s Rooty Hill RSL Club.
Special Guest on the Tamworth and Sydney shows is ABC recording artist, Peter McWhirter, the energetic country-rocker whose debut album, “Lucky As A Seven”, recorded in Nashville, is due out in September this year. Queensland country-folk duo, Busby Marou, will perform on the Brisbane show.
Tickets for all shows go on sale Monday August 9, 2010.
