Taking the opportunity to squeeze in a few solo shows before things get too busy for The Smith Street Band this year with new releases, frontman Wil Wagner has announced he’ll be heading our for a pretty substantial run of solo tours throughout February.

In fact, he’s packing so many shows into the tour that he’s only taking one day off the whole time, as he takes in his most far-reaching venues yet, including three consecutive nights at his hometown’s illustrious Melba Spiegeltent.

He’ll be joined by plenty of mates to keep him company on his solo endeavours, with an international roster that includes New York singer-songwriter and Smith Street collaborator Laura Stevenson, Michigan-based guitarist with Cheap Girls Ian Graham, and Shit Present bandleader Iona Cairns from the U.K.

It all kicks off next month, with tickets on sale now from Poolhouse Records – dates below.
