Feature Interview: Patrick James
While catching his breath after a touring success and his latest EP release, we caught up with Patrick James to talk about his roots and what he thinks makes a great performer.
After wowing punters and industry alike at his jam-packed official BIGSOUND showcase just days ago, Patrick James has announced he will be doing one final hurrah around the nation for 2013, before retreating to craft his debut album for release next year.
The Spring Tour heads across five of the seven mainland states and marks the rising troubadour’s biggest headline tour to date.
Since selling out two shows at Sydney’s Vanguard Theatre back in March, James has had priceless opportunities to hone his notable performance skills around Australia. After supporting Emma Louise as part of her album tour, James barely had the time to return home before heading out as the main support for the recently concluded Josh Pyke tour. Now, as he undertakes the Spring Tour, Patrick and his band are no doubt ready to take to the stage as the main event.
“Patrick James and his band in particular gave a headline-worthy performance, with their perfect melodies and warm, soothing vocals.” – Music Feeds – Josh Pyke, The Corner Hotel, Melbourne
Along with his dream-like tour schedule, Patrick James released his debut EP All About to Change earlier this year. The warm response to his first offering continued to spur his creative juices with new music expected to surface before the year is out.
Tickets to the Spring Tour are on sale now.
All About to Change is out now in Australia and New Zealand via Create/Control.
