The young but still incredibly seasoned local troubadour Sam Brittain is in the early stages of unveiling his his new album Signal Lights set for release on June 3.
The first offering from the exciting release ‘Stab in the Dark’ is today getting its very own video accompaniment. Directed by Kieran Ellis-Jones of Crystal Arrow Films it’s a stunning effort from the Aussie talent.
The lyrics for ‘Stab in the Dark’ summarise a coming of age, prompted by travel, grief, and ‘a lethal dose of reality’, as Brittain describes, ‘I was beginning to see the real sacrifices that have to be made as a touring artist in order to be successful. The loved ones you leave behind. Losing a dear friend of mine a few months prior to a stroke was a shotgun blast to the heart… It was a blatant reminder that none of us are invincible and you never know when your time is up.’
To celebrate the release, Brittain will be hitting the road on a national tour in June, kicking off in Adelaide at The Gov on June 4 and moving through to Brighton Up Bar (Sydney) on June 8, The Ellington (Perth) on June 15, The Toff (Melbourne) on June 23 and finishing up at The Milk Factory (Bris) on June 26.
