A Clare Bowditch & Adalita Australian Tour 2014 has been announced, pairing the two Aussie songwriters for six special shows taking place this winter.
The tour is part of the ARIA winnign Clare Bowditch’s fourth annual Winter Secrets series, taking special guest Adalita on the road with her as she once again takes her eight-album songbook to warm the Australian people during the colder months.
“Winter Secrets is not your typical ‘performer on stage and audience below’ style of affair, and loathe as I am to use the term ‘Interactive Co-Creative Transformative Absurd Joyful Experiences between Audience and Performer’, that’s Winter Secrets in a nutshell,” says Bowditch.
Adalita will open the shows performing songs from her latest album All Day Venus before joining Bowditch onstage for part of her performance.
“I’m so honoured to be touring with Clare. Not only am I super excited to be joining her for some of her set but I’m so looking forward to just hanging out and basking in Clare’s general magnificence and exchanging hot topics. We ladies are gonna have a swell time! Can’t wait!” says the ex-Magic Dirt frontwoman turned solo artist.
“Every show is different but what I can promise to those coming on the night is that I will say too much, we will run the FULL “emotional-gamut” together, you will be my back-up band (no previous experience necessary) and, hellooo, ADALITA IS COMING! It’s a no-brainer, people!?!?!?” says Bowditch.
As with her previous Winter Secrets tours, one local musician in each state will once again have the chance to join Clare on stage to perform one of her songs and be in the running to win a $1,000 cash prize. This year, the song will be the much-loved ‘I Thought You Were God’ from her sophomore, ARIA award-winning album What Was Left.
The competition opens on Friday 6 June with entries closing on Friday 20 June and winners announced the following week on Friday 27 June. All competition information is available at www.clarebowditch.com.
After a huge year that has included filming Channel 10’s Offspring and hosting her second Big Hearted Business (un-)Conference, Clare Bowditch will save her hibernation time for late 2014 to write a new album.
