James Reyne

Late in 2013, James Reyne played two sold-out shows at The Basement in Sydney, exciting fans with a new live offering, A CRAWL TO NOW. Showcasing a broad selection of Australian Crawl tracks plus songs from his time with Company Of Strangers and his solo hits, the acoustic trio of James Reyne, Tracy and Brett Kingman paid homage to an exceptional body of work. They brought the house down.

With a self-confessed desire to keep up a hectic touring pace, “I’m always playing a gig somewhere, I just love to play live”, Reyne is poised to take A CRAWL TO NOW on the road, bringing it to The Street Theatre as part of a huge regional run from March through to May 2018. He’ll be joined by guitarist Josh Owen in acoustic duo format.

A CRAWL TO NOW is a 90 minute live show featuring songs selected from over twenty albums representing an extensive catalogue. Songs from Australian Crawl to now.

"This will be a comprehensive look at the past into the present. I’ve sifted through all of the Australian Crawl material with the intention of performing it “songbook” style. And to bring out the solo material again and reimagine those songs acoustically is always fun - I’m very excited about these shows.”

James’s output in recent years has been prolific, and his most recent long player ‘Thirteen’ received critical acclaim.

“He’s a better singer today than ever, better songwriter, better lyricist. Every track on 'Thirteen' tells you how important all three of those aspects of his craft are to him.” - Ed Nimmervoll
