The Frontier Touring Company is pleased to confirm the return of soul maestro James Hunter to Australian shores this October. James charmed audiences at Bluesfest earlier this year, and performed to a rapturous sold out crowd at his first ever headline show in Sydney.

Due to overwhelming demand, James will return for intimate shows in Sydney and Melbourne in support of his critically acclaimed fifth record The Hard Way (out now through Universal).

Drawing from the musical past, James’ vision sees him combine his infectious sound with inventive songwriting, setting him apart from retrograde nostalgia, and capturing the attention of today’s audiences. The Hard Way demonstrates this perfectly, blending old with new, while creating the uniquely fresh sound his fans have grown to love.

Firmly slated as one of the year’s most promising artists, James Hunter’s Australian performances are sure to be sold out affairs. Tickets on sale Tuesday 14 July. Please visit frontiertouring.com for pre-sale information.
