The Melbourne-based singer-songwriter is hitting the road on a national tour for his aptly titled new albumImagine You Are Driving.
Following up on his well-received 2012 debut albumThe North Pole, James Kenyon has announced a national tour to coincide with the release of newest albumImagine You Are Driving.Having been crafted over the last two years with producer Nick Huggins,the album sees a wealth of Melburnian talent take part, among them Luke Richardson, Matt Dixon, John Bedgood and many more.
The road imagery isn’t for nothing, either, with the album’s dry and emotive poetics channelling craftsmen Paul Kelly and Bruce Springsteen in its exploration of the greater Australian story and its broad and arid landscape. The first single ‘The Motorbike Song’ highlights this notion of the road as metaphor for personal experience: the journey of loneliness, of the stages of grief, and of perspective.
As part of his national album tour, James Kenyon will play at Sydney’s Gasoline Pony on Wednesday December 7. Tickets are available from his website.
