Australian singer-songwriter Clare Bowditch is dusting off her guitar case next month for a trio of intimate east-coast shows.
The ARIA Award-winning musician (Best Female Artist, 2006) – who last released new music in 2019 with the singles 'If I Could Give You' and 'Woman' – will tease new material from a forthcoming album, her first record since 2012's 'The Winter I Choose Happiness' (featuring 'You Make Me Happy') with gigs in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.An Evening Adventure with Clare Bowditch will see her perform all of her classics alongside a preview of the new album as well as reflections on what it means to be here and still kicking on in the year 2024.
"It's been a really long time since I've had the gumption to pack my guitar case and string together a few shows worth of new songs in a row," shares Clare.
"I don't really know why – I guess it was mainly just. . . life? Or maybe it was that at the start of my career as a touring musician, I was also a mum for the first time, and after ten years of touring and raising kids, I was pretty tired and ready for a tour break.
"Then. . . it just went on a bit longer than planned? Who knows, but these are all things we can discuss when we're sitting in the room together on our Evening Adventure. . . or not?
"Let's work it out when we get there. Gotta admit I am very excited/ slightly terrified to know what you think of my new songs too."
Tickets are on sale.
