Tex Perkins has played a key role in Australian music, with a career that has taken in everything from the ground breaking experimental punktonica of Thug to the lilting, dark country of his recent material with The Dark Horses. In the early ’90s Perkins joined forces with the legendary Don Walker, Cold Chisel’s pianist and master songwriter, and Charlie Owen, previously Australia’s best kept musical secret, for the unforgettable Tex, Don & Charlie. For this intimate show, the chemistry between Owen and Perkins will be on full display.
Opening the night will be Adalita. Her back catalogue with former band Magic Dirt has been built on with recent solo albums, Adalita which won the 2011 AIR award for Best Independent Album and was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize, and All Day Venus nominated in the Best Female artist category at last year’s ARIA Awards.
