Dan Sultan Australian Tour 2014 Announced
Dan Sultan has released his brand new shot of soul-rock, ‘Under Your Skin’ (listen here) – his first release in over four years – and Dan Sultan and his band are thrilled to announce a capital city tour for February and March 2014. Dan’s upcoming tour will give fans an opportunity to hear both new songs and old favourites, as well as ‘Under Your Skin’ – the first taste of the acclaimed singer-songwriter’ fourth studio album.
With another single due out before the LP’s early April release, fans will get a chance to hear yet another example of the explosive rock melodies and snarling, sultry vocals which made the young songwriter a household name. Recorded in Nashville’s legendary Blackbird Studio, Dan’s performance on the album accurately reflects his many awards and accolades, including the 2007 Deadly Award for Single Release of the Year, 2010 AIR Award for Best Independent Artist, and 2010 ARIA for Best Male Artist.

“Jam Gallery have wonderfully donated the venue, as have the incredible musicians on the bill their time and talent. I am so grateful and proud of my community coming forward to make a difference in these people’s lives. It is my wish that we raise 1000’s of dollars to buy as many ShelterBoxes as we can,” says Jensen. The Rhythm Remedy concert will have fantastic prizes to be won, serious music to be enjoyed, dancing, drinking and a good time.
