Ahead of his Australia Day Concert at Sydney Opera House this Saturday (to be broadcast on ABC TV), pop artist Anthony Callea has announced his 'Unplugged And Unfiltered' tour will roll-out this autumn with a series of shows taking in Melbourne, Hobart, Launceston and Canberra along with regional Victoria and New South Wales.
Anthony, who has toured with the likes of Celine Dion, Diana Ross and Whitney Houston, will be performing in a stripped-back setting showcasing material from his seven albums accompanied by a pianist and guitarist.
"Being on stage and performing live is where I feel at home and come alive," Anthony says. "It's a total buzz for me. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to showcasing 'Unplugged And Unfiltered', a set-up I have never toured before.
"For me, it's about honing in on the lyrics and melody and delivering them with purity, honesty and gusto, and what better way to do that than acoustically with piano, guitar and vocals?
"The 'Unfiltered' part represents my Italian mouth and how at times, there's no filter between my head and mouth, which can sometimes get me in trouble, especially with my mum!
"I'm sure my mum will come backstage after she watches the show and once again say, 'Did you really need to tell that story? You don't get that cheekiness from me, your father has a lot to answer for!'. Ok Mum, whatever you think… ha!"
