Things Of Stone And Wood Australian Tour 2014 Announced

A Things Of Stone And Wood Australian Tour 2014 has been announced as the band reunite to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

The band’s original lineup are getting together – just as they did 25 years ago as a rag-tag bunch of folkies – for the first time since 1997 for a limited run of anniversary shows.

Things Of Stone And Wood were one of the defining Melbourne bands of the early 90s, and off the back of their Top 10 single ‘Happy Birthday Helen’, the band achieved national success, international tours, a gold album in The Yearning, and even a Late Show parody, kicking off a career that would place them as one of Australia’s most loved folk-rock bands.

Described as “Melbourne’s most inspired and inspiring acoustic band” (Michael Dwyer), their imaginative use of organic instruments set off an acoustic/folk movement that paved the way for the likes of John Butler, The Waifs, and Angus & Julia Stone.

Their live show has always been full of energy and passion and whilst they’ve won many an industry award, including an ARIA and APRA Songwriter of the Year for singer/songwriter Greg Arnold, it’s on stage that demonstrates why they’re so loved.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Things of Stone And Wood are touring once again in their original lineup, playing favourites from across their multi-decade career.

International troubadour Carus Thompson will open, making this a folk-rock double bill not to miss.
