Nollsie is on his way home from the South African jungle having once again been crowned as Australia’s favourite runner up! His second place victory is reminiscent of his 2003 Australian Idol placing but this all just makes Shannon Noll more determined to prove why he is still around!
With his head held high and with a once in a lifetime experience behind him, Shannon Noll is excited to chat about his new album release UNBROKEN. This is his first new album in seven years and was released while he was in the jungle. After some time with his family, his forthcoming tour which will see him cover the country with his new songs and his biggest hits!
Five exclusive showcase concerts are locked in and a full national tour in the planning. This tour will give Shannon the opportunity to revisit the country and demonstrate why he has remained a success over his 15+ year career.
Nollsie’s appeal lies in his open and honest attitude and that he has always remained true to himself. A regular Aussie bloke who is committed to his family, his mates and his job. The guy you want to have over for surf and turf and a beer. He strikes a chord with legions of music fans, tapping into a pure emotion that’s both his own and instantly relatable.
His rise to fame as the first runner-up of the first Australian Idol series in 2003 changed his life from farm hand in Condobolin forever. Certified triple-platinum sales, number #1 hits, five top 10 albums, has 17 platinum and three gold accreditations, and boasts a reputation as the only Australian male artist in national chart history to have ever achieved ten consecutive top ten singles.
He has donated over one million dollars to charities during his illustrious career. A figure he continues to add to during his time in the jungle, with his charity of choice being something he is passionate about.
Undeniably, Shannon Noll has captured the hearts and minds of music fans around Australia and overseas with his raw, gifted rock voice. He remains one of the most recognisable names and faces in the Australian music industry with only a few matching his success.
The ex-farm boy from Condobolin is no stranger to hardship and loss. He examines his roots, his fame, his unswerving patriotic pride and love of Australia in lead singles such as ‘Who I Am’ and ‘Southern Sky’. His deep sense of family, and reflections on growing older are also strong themes. These two singles and a gutsy cover version of the Creedence Clearwater Revivial hit, ‘Fortunate Son’ along his fourth single, ‘Land of Mine’ set the tone of what UNBROKEN encapsulates seeing it debut on the overall ARIA Charts at #7.
To celebrate the release of Unbroken, Shannon will hit the road with his band, doing what he loves best, performing to his loyal fans. Full tour dates for Shannon’s Unbroken tour are listed below.
‘I’m champing at the bit to go play them live,’ says Shannon. ‘There were a couple of years where I didn’t play as much but that has revitalised me. I’m singing better than I ever have and the band is cooking. It’s back to the days of being lots of fun, rather than worrying about what’s around the corner.’
