MICK DALEY AND ADAM YOUNG AT SMITHS ALTERNATIVE BOOKSHOP
NOVEMBER 22, 6PM

Best known as frontman and songwriter for country rock and roll giants The Re-mains, and after twenty years on the road throughout Australia, Canada and Europe, Mick Daley has released a solo album, Tiny Violins. By turns tender and savage, its seven songs tilt with politics and swarm with humanity. 

Recorded with Melbourne singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Matt Walker (Liz Stringer, Broderick Smith, Jimmy Dowling,) Tiny Violins comes hard on the heels of Mick’s 2014 album, Courage and Shuffle the Cards, recorded with his band The Corporate Raiders at Sydney’s Megaphon studios. 

With these ballads and dirges he delivers a rich history as a genuine Australian folksinger. Coming on top of the eight albums of original material released by The Re-Mains and played on national radio and television and in Europe and Canada, this represents a significant body of work.  Jeff Glorfeld of The Melbourne Age called The Re-mains “arguably Australia’s best country rock band” and as that band’s songwriter Mick has a broad back catalogue to draw from on this tour.

Kicking off at the Dashville Skyline Americana festival in the Hunter Valley in October, the Tiny Violins tour will snake its way across the nation over the next six months. On Sunday November 22 he’s joined at Smiths Alternative Bookshop by Sydney singer songwriter Adam Young, also launching a new single, Queen of the Plains, from his forthcoming solo album.  

Mick will be joined onstage by well-known Canberra guitarist Adam Bell (The King Hits) and double bassist Tom Jones.

The show kicks off at 6pm and is $15/10 at the door
