Direct from the bustling music hub of Austin, Texas, Country music veteran Wayne Hancock has announced he will return to Australian shores this March, just eight short months after selling out venues in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, leaving a raft of enthusiastic reviews in his wake.

Since unveiling his critically acclaimed debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs, back in 1995, Wayne ‘The Train’ Hancock has been hailed as the undisputed king of Juke Joint Swing – a one-of-a-kind style that combines the best of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly, and big band music.

Wayne’s disdain for the slick swill that passes for real country these days is well known and part of why he’s consistently described as one of the last true country artists left in music. In his own words, “Man, I’m like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville. See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That’s me.”
