One of Australia’s most acclaimed singer-songwriters, the multiple ARIA Award winning Alex Lloyd, has today announced his first tour back in Australia since moving abroad in 2008 which will see Lloyd and his full band playing shows along the East Coast of Australia throughout November/December in support of his new album Urban Wilderness on the Urban Wilderness Tour.
The Urban Wilderness Tour will follow the 18 October release of Lloyd’s long awaited new album, Urban Wilderness. Featuring songs of family and romance with tracks written across the globe, Urban Wilderness will be released five years on from his last solo effort, 2008’s Good In The Face Of A Stranger. Urban Wilderness is 12 tracks of pure, pop-tinged song craft on which Lloyd is ably assisted by fellow artists Shane Nicholson and Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil).
Alex said today “It’s been so long since I’ve toured Australia with a full band. I’m really looking forward to playing some tracks from my new album ‘Urban Wilderness’ and of course some of the old favourites“.
Special guests on the tour are Central Coast ‘dream-folk’ duo The Young Lions. Formed back in 2011, they played just two sold out Sydney shows before one half of the band set off to travel the world. Two years and many continents later the boys have made their way back home and will be releasing their debut album in 2014.
