RODRIGUEZ | Full line up announced for Perth show – Stephen Pigram Trio & Melody Pool joining Russell Morris | Five Aus shows already sold out!

With five shows across the country already completely sold out and new shows quickly being added to meet demand, there is no doubt that Rodriguez’s Australian tour is one of the highlights of the upcoming summer!
 
Adding to the already high levels of anticipation, Frontier Touring are delighted to confirm that Rodriguez will be joined at his concert at Perth’s Kings Park & Botanic Garden by two of Australia’s finest young talents – Stephen Pigram Trio and Melody Pool. These two artists join Rodriguez’s previously announced special guest Russell Morris to form an unmissable line-up.
 
Hailing from Broome in Western Australia’s great Kimberley region, Stephen Pilgrim first came to prominence with the much-loved Pigram Brothers Band and their unique ‘saltwater country’ style of music – showcased in tracks like ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Nothing Really Matters’. For this Perth show, Stephen will be leaving most of his brothers out fishing and performing as part of a trio.
 
A renowned multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, Stephen will treat the lucky audience to country folk and bluesy musical tunes from his hometown including tracks from Wanderer, his first album outside of the Pigram Brothers Band. 
 
Rounding out the impressive line-up will be Kurri Kurri-born, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Melody Pool. Picking up where her critically acclaimed debut The Hurting Scene(2013) left off, Melody’s sophomore album Deep Dark Savage Heart (out now via Liberation Music) is a powerful and emotion-filled journey through music.
 
The success of her debut album saw Melody tour with The Milk Carton Kids through Europe and perform two massive shows supporting the Eagles here in Australia before returning to Nashville to record her lauded follow-up release. Don’t miss the magnificence of Melody live, performing much-loved tracks like ‘Love, She Loves Me’ and ‘Somebody You’ve Never Met Before’.
 
Lauded as the downtown Bob Dylan, Rodriguez’s blend of social politics, emotional insights and street observations, showcased in songs like ‘Sugar Man’, ‘I Wonder’ and ‘Cause’, vividly capture a certain time and place, all complemented by his impeccable voice.
 
‘It sounded as if his singing has not aged one bit and sounded as pristine as he does on recordings from over 40 years ago.’ – The Huffington Post
 
The legendary self-taught guitarist’s love affair with Australia is no secret; Rodriguez first toured our shores in the late 1970s, long before the rest of the world caught onto his talent thanks to Malik Bendjelloul’s Oscar-winning filmSearching for Sugar Man.
 
With five shows already sold out and all other shows selling fast, it’s clear that the legendary Sugar Man’s return to Australia will be a tour for the ages. Act quick to secure your tickets!
