HAMISH ANDERSON
Indie singer/songwriter Hamish Anderson has announced that he will hit the road for a tour in support of his haunting new single Winter. With an impressive live show that mixes blues, rock, and folk, Anderson's command of the stage shows no hint of his only 22-year-old age. Hamish Anderson will enchant Revolver Upstairs this Wednesday November 20.
DARREN HANLON
Darren Hanlon will be returning to Australia this December for his Christmas tour. After a busy year writing and recording his next album across various cities of the American South, indie-folk troubadour Darren Hanlon will return to Australia to play his customary Christmas shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland, this December. Now in its eighth year, Hanlon's Christmas shows will be solo, intimate affairs showcasing his back catalogue as well as songs from his forthcoming album- which is set for release next March. Darren Hanlon will be playing Northcote Social Club with The Orbweavers on Sunday December 22. Tickets are available through the venue's website.
JIMMY BARNES
The Yarra Valley's Grape Grazing Festival will make its return for its first year since 2009 with a strong classic Aussie rock presence. This year's lineup features Jimmy Barnes, The Baby Animals, Daryl Braithwaite, and Jon Stevens & the Dead Daisies. With 30 years of solo performances under his belt, Jimmy Barnes is no stranger to the A Day On The Green stage, having played it with both his band and Cold Chisel. A Day On The Green goes down on Saturday February 15 at the Yarra Valley's Rochford Wines. More information is available at adayonthegreen.com.au.

Three goals for your music: Tour overseas, quit the day job, play Golden Plains. Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why: New Years Eve on the back of a truck with fireworks going off behind us would have to be
hard to beat, and at Fest la Frog when a wide-eyed guy called Cornelius came up afterwards and said we were the best band he had seen in ‘his whole entire life’. One day left before the apocalypse and you…: Party like there’s no tomorrow. When’s the gig / release? We are going all out for this one! On Saturday November 23, 8.30pm at the John Curtin.
