Scott Spark, Tash Parker, and The Rescue Ships are putting sporting allegiances and state rivalries aside for one big East Coast tour next month.
The Three’s Company shows will take in each act’s home state over three big consecutive nights. Fittingly, the hometown hero will headline their own city, supported by the other singer-songwriters on the bill.
The Rescue Ships is the brand new outfit of Sydney’s Elana Stone and Brian Campeau. You might be familiar with their solo work, but with their forces combined their sound is incredible. They’ve been wowing crowds overseas, so the Three’s Company dates will be a kind of homecoming.
Scott Spark impressed me last year with his quirky single “Fail Like You Mean It” and won over crowds while supporting Washington and Tim Rogers. But there’s more to this Brisbane boy than meets the eye. He’s ambitiously co-writing OMFG, a stage show he calls an anti-musical.
Tash Parker rounds out the bills. She’s a bit of a ring-in, as she originally hails from Kununurra in far northern Western Australia, but she now calls Melbourne home. With the debut album Waking Up under her belt Tash has supported major Aussie artists like Gotye, Missy Higgins, and Clare Bowditch.
If you love music for lyrics, melody, and heart rather than flash, I heartily suggest checking out these shows. Tickets are a bargain costing just $10 on the presales and $12 at the door.
