Dan Kelly Australian Album Tour + New Single
Dan Kelly is back with new music! ‘Golden Shoes = Country Blues’ is the second single from his forthcoming LP, ‘GOLDFEELS’ in-store September 6th, on Golden Point Records via Metropolitan Groove Merchants.
After a sold-out show at the Tote in Melbourne last month, Dan is delighted to announce dates for his Australian album tour with his exceedingly qualified band, Regional Crisis, featuring the talents of Gus Agars, Ben Woolley, and Dan Luscombe; tickets are on sale now via www.dankelly.live
Written on the Dja Dja Wurrung lands of Central Victoria and produced by Dan Luscombe (Courtney Barnett, Amyl and the Sniffers), ‘Golden Shoes = Country Blues’ presents a reflective lament of the times, overlaying a typically buoyant Dan Kelly tune!
“Golden Shoes = Country Blues contains a list of all the things I don’t want to do,” explains Dan. “The list song has a long history in popular music going back to the Catalogue Aria of Italian Comic Opera in the 18th century. Modern examples would be songs like Paul Simon’s ‘50 Ways To Leave Your Lover’, Dick Diver’s ‘Head Back’, The B52’s ‘52 Girls ‘, and Bob Dylan’s ‘All I Really Wanna Do’. Golden Shoes = Country Blues is a song that addresses the peace, isolation and occasional dread of living alone in a small country town. To me, it has a vibe that is similar to that of early Nick Lowe or Joe Jackson. But I’m possibly projecting here!”
“A talented musician, great story-teller, self-deprecating, unique and very quirky kinda guy, and he charmingly engaged with the crowd throughout the show tonight… Looking around the packed band room there was certainly a multi-generational range of punters” Australian Musician.
