AUSTRALIAN singer-songwriter Tex Perkins is set to return to Bendigo next month.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, 6 November, Perkins will take to the Ulumbarra Theatre stage as part of the annual Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival.<\/p>\n
Perkins will be joined by guitarist and singer-songwriter Matt Walker, playing alongside trio, the Kings of the Blues.<\/p>\n
With a new single called Brand New Man to showcase, Walker said the pair are excited to return to the region.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The set] looks hot with an abstract perspective that will at first seem clear until it’s not. Of course, there will be a mix of songs, this century and last,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have tested [the new song] to all different audiences over the last few months and it always brings a shift, a new feeling in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brand New Man was released this month, written for Perkins\u2019 upcoming album, Other World. Walker said the album takes a new direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new album is a jump away from the jangle and stomp of the first Fat Rubber Band album. It’s as if we time shifted to the mid-70s and moved to the city,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you can still hear the swamp roots that tell of our shared history as a band. \u201c<\/p>\n
Perkins, Walker, and Kings of the Blues will perform from 3pm. Tickets can be booked at bit.ly\/3swzsdC.<\/p>\n
The Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival will run from Thursday, 3 November to Sunday, 6 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
