Making plans to ride his newly minted Australian #1 single ‘Shotgun’ all the way into the hot Australian sun, English singer-songwriter George Ezra announces a return to the sunburnt country!
Recently bestowed as the biggest song of the UK summer by the Official Charts Company, ‘Shotgun’ has taken off big-time Down Under. Its ridiculously catchy chorus and adorably quirky video clip have been inescapable, boosting Ezra’s sophomore record Staying at Tamara’s into the ARIA Top 10 and laying the foundation for huge 2019 shows in Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne.
From humble beginnings as a ‘have guitar – will travel’ type roaming around the pubs and clubs of his native Bristol, George Ezra has dominated the musical landscape over the past few years.
His sonorous, bass-baritone voice is unmistakable in a landscape littered with throwaways, and Ezra’s considered approach to songcraft has resonated in a major way.
The man himself is as casual and laid back as modern superstars come. In fact, he drew inspiration for Staying at Tamara’s by doing just that: renting an Airbnb in Barcelona from a stranger named Tamara and allowing her artist friends to guide him through the city while he sketched out the song ideas that would become his second record.
The album was an immediate hit with critics and fans alike. Released in March, it has charted worldwide and hit the Top 10 in the UK, Australia, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and many more.
And now the man himself is heading to Australia and popping by our sweet little state for a visit. Check out dates and deets below:
