Power and Majesty: Brian Kennedy returns to Australia for his 2010 National Tour
Brian Kennedy, one of Ireland’s most loved and successful ambassadors of music, is returning to Australian shores for a national tour in March 2010. Brian’s latest concerts come on the back of his 2008 album, Interpretations, and will no doubt follow the now established local tradition with Australian audiences embracing Brian’s previous shows over two highly successful tours.
In August 2009, Brian was honoured at the annual Ireland's Music Awards ceremony - the only national Irish Traditional, Folk and Celtic music awards ceremony in Ireland - taking out the top prize for Best Male Vocalist. Brian Kennedy's last tour to Australia saw the Adelaide Street Press, "Brian Kennedy possesses such a soulful, angelic voice that he can reduce grown people to tears." Meanwhile, John Shand of the Sydney Morning Herald said about Brian's version of the traditinal Irish classic, 'Carrickfergus', "It is hard to imaging a better voice to sing this glorious lament than Kennedy's , keening like uilleann pipes over gently finger picking. It is the ethereal upper register that so sets this voice apart, but the truly remarkable aspect of it is how seamlessly hye moves between his natural tenor and his falsetto."
Live on stage, Brian Kennedy is the ultimate performer: from the second he bursts onto stage, grabs his guitar and belts out his first note with total commitment, you feel the energy, and your gut reaction tells you this is going to be one whirlwind, rollercoaster of a night.
Make sure you witness this very special occasion.

After two national sold out tours, Short Stack are again hitting the road in March 2010 and heading to Queensland, in support of the band's ARIA #1 debut album 'Stack is the new Black'.
Short Stack (Shaun Diviney guitar / lead vocals, Andy Clemmensen bass / vocals and Bradie Webb drums / keyboards) are undoubtedly one of the hottest young bands in Australia right now having notched up three top 40 singles - Shimmy a Go Go (#31), Princess (#11) and Sway, Sway Baby! (#2 and the highest debuting and single on the ARIA Singles Chart this year), and having been voted as Channel [V] Oz Artist of the Year having received over 400,000 votes.
Stack is the New Black covers a range of styles - from epic ballads to fast and furious electro-tinged rock anthems. "It's got a song on there for everyone depending on what genre you like," Andy says. "When you listen to some albums, you can only listen halfway through before you get over hearing their voice or hearing the same sounds but I think ours you can listen to the whole way through because it changes up so much."
