HE’S been described as one of the greatest singer/songwriters the nation has known, and James Blundell is coming to Noosa to perform for one night only.
From Way Out West to Postcards from Saigon, James Blundell’s tracks have introduced a whole new generation of Australians to country music and fans can see the man in action at The J on Friday 12 June, from 7.30pm.
Adam Brand says he looked up to him as a youngster, and with a string of platinum albums and more than 15 awards to his name, it’s easy to see why Australia can’t get enough of James Blundell.
The J venue co-ordinator Scott Braby says it’s exciting to welcome James to The J in June.
“His songs about Kimberley moons and the colours of the outback evoke powerful emotions for audiences who may not have experienced the special world Blundell inhabits,” he said.
“Tickets will sell fast to his one-night-only show so James Blundell fans need to act quickly to secure a seat.”
The ARIA-award winning artist will serve up his trademark blend of great music and vocals, with a bit of cheek thrown in for good measure. Noosa can look forward to favourite hits such as Way Out West, Postcards from Saigon, Time On His Hands, and his new single, Hills of Brisbane, which is climbing the country charts.
Blundell was the first Australian country artist to sign a major-label Nashville recording deal, paving the way for the likes of Keith Urban and Kasey Chambers.
While a star in his own right, he has written tracks for many of his fellow Australian country music greats including Lee Kernaghan, Slim Dusty and Jimmy Little.
“This is a show James Blundell fans won’t want to miss. With nine CMAA Golden Guitar Awards to his name, the former cattle hand turned musician is an enduring name in Australian music who continues to develop his impressive following.”
