Darren Hanlon

Just a short run of shows this year. Sorry I couldn’t get to Adelaide and Fremantle, hopefully sometime next year. And this is the first year since 2008 I haven’t played St Stephens in Sydney. This was a huge decision to make. I love that place so much and it does lend a sense of grandeur to the occasion. But I’ve been getting messages from people that they’re a little bit over it, the seats are uncomfortable and sightlines are bad. So I decided to have a break from it and I hope you’ll all enjoy the Great Club. I’ve made sure you can still bring kids along.

Sorry to say Darren has had to cancel this weekend’s shows in CANBERRA, SYDNEY and HOBART due to him testing positive to Covid. We’ll be in touch with rescheduled dates soon.

This July and August I’m bringing the whole cast of the Life Tax album with me to perform the songs in the great listening rooms of Australia. The band will consist of Jesse Williams, Leah Senior, Zoe Fox and Dylan Young.

I’m coming to Europe in two separate trips this year to support my old buddies The Magnetic Fields. I’m so happy to be reuniting with them. Years ago they were kind enough to take me all around the world with them and introduced me to many nice audiences. Some of these dates are in the very same places but others are completely new to me. Can’t wait. I’ll be playing a few of my own shows in some places too, news of that to come.

guitar shopping with Stephen

Thanks so much for everyone who has bought this new album so far. I really appreciate it, and all the nice feedback people are sending through. Here’s a nice couple of reviews that’ve filtered through if you wanna read about it. First a write up on the Au Review:

AU REVIEW ALBUM OF THE WEEK

And then a nice write up in the Australian, my first ever review in that publication:
