Behind The Stars Tour – Paul Greene playing Melrose Institute 3 May – TICKETS ON SALE – OVER THE EDGE – Cash only….
There has been no overnight success for Mr. Paul Greene. He is living proof that it is hard work being lucky. For Greene it has been a long, slow, steady progression that has seen him become the respected musician he is today, and earned him the mantle of ‘Australia’s Hardest Working Musician’, as well as a legion of loyal fans and supporters. He has worked with some of the worlds most respected artists, including Rob Hirst and Jim Moginie from Midnight Oil, Ani Difranco, Patty Griffin, Alvin Youngblood-Hart, and even The Wiggles. He is also the new front man for Australian pub rock icons Spy V Spy.
Musically this new album ‘Behind The Stars’ comes from a place where his acclaimed release ’Everywhere Is Home’ left off: a groove that creates involuntary dancing (even in the car); infectious melodies; lyrics that make you forget it is a song, and feel more like a conversation with a dear friend.
However from the first track, it is obvious that something is different. The locks have been blown off. Somewhere in the dark corners of Greene’s soul, something that was under lock and key has gotten out! There are still the gentle moments that he is renowned for with songs like ‘Shine Like Gold’ and ’Work Love Dance Trust’, but this time it also rocks.
Of course we will also have more reasons for you to come up for a long weekend in Melrose – will keep you posted! There will be some pre Fat tyre Festival fun to be had!!!
