One of Australia’s most iconic singer songwriters John Butler has announced Australian tour dates throughout March and April, titled the Tin Shed Tales tour. It will take him all around the country, to capital cities and regional areas. Special guests include Felicity Groom and Mama Kin
In December last year, John decided to put on a surprise concert for his fans in Perth. The unplugged acoustic show was announced a day before the performance and with only 300 seats available it sold out in under seven minutes. He shared many anecdotes with the audience and performed songs from his vast catalogue, spanning across all five albums.
Thus the “Tin Shed Tales” concept came to life.
John will be bringing his Tin Shed along for the ride, decked out with a collection of personal art pieces, old skool skateboards and vintage guitars, these items are laid out in his shed at home where he draws inspiration for his art and songwriting.
You can also see John Butler performing on the Bluesfest 2012 lineup.
