Hot on the heels from playing UK dates in 2023 at Cambridge Folk Festival, UK Americana Music Week and an mesmerising set at The Folklore Rooms here in Brighton, Australian singer-songwriter Nigel Wearne returns to the UK this winter - and we've snapped him up for a fresh Brighton date.
Hailing from Gunditjmara country in the deep south of Australia, Wearne is a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist with diverse influences such as Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones. A deep thinker and truth seeker with a penchant for all things peculiar, he sings of human frailty, grace and the cosmos; songwriting that cuts to the bone.
If you like Curtis Eller / The Sam Chase / Camille O'Sullivan / Richard Hawley... you'll quickly cotton on to what Mr Wearne brings to the stage - right up terrace cred.'s terrace!
Nigel has toured Australia, New Zealand, the US, UK and Canada and performed at a long list of music festivals, including AmericanaFest (USA), Port Fairy Folk Festival (AUS), MerleFest (USA) and the Adelaide Guitar Festival (AUS). His sophomore album, Black Crow garnered wide critical acclaim including a 4-STAR review in Rolling Stone and debuted at #1 on Australia's AMRAP Charts.
His new album The Reckoning has received early praise with the first three singles earning him a nomination for Best Blues Work at the Music Victoria Awards. Inhabiting the after-dark realms of blues, jazz, soul and Americana-noir, The Reckoning is a full band explosion of songs, stories and musical mayhem. All the while, Wearne's crooning, cutting, monolithic vocal keeps lyricism and poetry at the forefront.
Join Nigel on his third tour of the UK for what promises to be another enlivening and captivating solo performance. Fullest recommendation that you buy your tkts quickly.
