Get your eardrums ready for an exciting musical treat as one of the most successful and acclaimed female singer-songwriters in Australian music history, Missy Higgins, fuses her live band with some of Australia’s leading symphony orchestras for a handful of special concerts this November through December.
The tour will see Miggy adding an orchestral taste to her iconic hits like 'Scar', 'The Special Two', 'Steer', 'Where I Stood' and 'Everyone’s Waiting' with up to 60 of this country’s best orchestral musicians. She will be playing two consecutive performances in Sydney, then will go to Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.
Missy Higgins has sold over a million albums in the country, enjoyed multiple #1 hits and won 9 ARIA Awards. Her latest release - a benefit single called “Oh Canada” to draw attention to the plight of Syrian refugees - caught global attention.
She spent the last few months in the U.S. selling out weeks of club shows, co-writing songs in LA and Nashville and traveling with her husband and 18 month old son. Now, she’s looking forward to finally getting back home for a slew of dates. Missy says:
“I know it’s not the first time that a contemporary musician has teamed up with great orchestras in this way but other than that one time in Tassie, this is the first time for me so I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll be something very different and hopefully something very special”.
Joining Missy on all shows will be Melbourne folk artist Ben Abraham, who has been building an international fan base, thanks to his personal and heartfelt cinematic folk music. Recently reformed iconic Brisbane band George will also join Missy for her Perth show.
Missy will also be unveiling her brand new songs on which she’s been working for most of 2016.
