Angus Stone

A different trail of gravel and gold.

Overview

Yep, that guy who use to sing with his sis and has a penchant for facial hair and not wearing shoes will be on tour in November. You'll have a chance to whistle along to Wooden Chair, or sway to End of The World, while picturing yourself and some mates having a few beers by the beach with him.

Angus Stone says of his solo venture, "to play live on my own in front of those people, it's going to be a different trail of gravel and gold, but none the less very exciting." Whether there will be gravel or gold you'll have to wait and see, but what you'll definitely get is a special blend of indie folk peppered with hints of psychedelic rock, cowboy blues and country folk. The songs will be from Broken Brights, Stone's first solo album released under his own name.

The influence of Angus and Julia's time spent performing together since they were kiddies can still be seen lurking beneath these songs, but the new album offers a slightly different perspective. Long term fans will be happy to find that those nostalgic sounds are as dreamy as ever, but this time Stone will be showing off new sounds and vocal styles alongside lots of new instruments. Here's to hoping there's a banjo or two.

Just remember to wear shoes (pretty sure The Enmore has rules about this).
