The Waifs Are Home And Touring

One of Australia’s most loved folk-rock touring bands, The Waifs return with their seventh LP, Beautiful You. To celebrate they will be touring nationally, starting in their home state of Western Australia, with East Coast dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

With more than two decades of solid international touring under their belts with The Waifs have built a reputation of faultless live shows, earning them a dedicated and loyal fan base here at home and across the globe. Including co-owning Independent label Jarrah Records with fellow folk-lord John Butler, the group have brought us 23 sweet years of blissful foot-tapping folk-rock, adding charm and heated disposition to any environment.
 
The emotionally raw but musically buoyant ‘Beautiful You’ demonstrates the easy chemistry that has bound The Waifs, as well as celebrating the depth of song writing talent they have at their disposal.
'6000 Miles' is the first single off the LP, a stunning Australian anthem that finds Vikki Thorn contemplating the distance between her old home in Albany WA and her new, with husband and 3 kids in Utah, USA.

Listen to 6000 Miles here, ‘Beautiful You’ in store and available 14^th August

“Together, on a cool autumn night, they reminded us about the art of being joy-filled players and heartfelt storytellers…. There's always plenty to make you smile and dance, and excellent company to be had when the Waifs come home.” The West Australian
