A Busby Marou Australian Tour 2013 has been announced with the talented duo set to take their gifted musicianship and distinctly Australian storytelling on the road for the Farewell Fitzroy headline national tour.
Since the release of their debut self-titled album two years ago, Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou have travelled the far corners of the globe. Busby’s playful onstage presence combined with Marou’s freakish instrumental ability has cemented their reputation as one of the most loved live bands to come out of Australia in recent times.
Meanwhile, their offstage antics have informed the songs for their second album Farewell Fitzroy (out Friday 4 October) and the lyrics read like an adventure of irreverence. Anthemic and rich with the roots duo’s acclaimed harmonies, first single ‘Get You Out Of Here’ is a soulful taste of what fans can expect from the diverse outfit’s upcoming record.
Recorded with US producer/engineer Brad Jones (Missy Higgins, Josh Rouse, Justin Townes Earle) in April 2013 at his Nashville studio, Alex The Great Recording. Busby Marou were determined to capture new songs with their full band sound and were joined by tour buddies Damon ‘DJ’ Syme (drums, percussion), Vincenzo Russo (bass) and Vaughan Jones (piano, keys, electric xylophone).
Busby Marou are incredibly proud of the new album and can’t wait to share it with the masses on their national album tour in October and November. They are bringing their mates Harry Hookey and Nat Dunn to round out one of the diverse live bill.
The band’s debut album is just shy of Gold and was nominated for APRA, Deadly, NIMA and Queensland Music awards. It also saw them touring with artists as diverse as Birds Of Tokyo and Dolly Parton and all things between as well as playing at SXSW, Canadian Music Week, Bluesfest and Woodford, to name a few.
Unpretentious, best mates, and always ready to have fun, Farewell Fitzroy could well be Busby Marou’s finest hour yet.
