Bob Evans - Blind Faith Tour

The much loved Bob Evans has returned from recording in Nashville filled with inspiration to hit the road for a national tour in November and December ahead of the April/May release of his third album ‘Goodnight, Bull Creek!’.

Bob has spent the past few months recording ‘Goodnight, Bull Creek!’ in Nashville with producer Brad Jones (who also worked on Bob’s previous ARIA Award winning album ‘Suburban Songbook’). The Blind Faith Tour will showcase songs from the new album to give fans an insight into what they can expect when ‘Goodnight, Bull Creek!’ comes out next year.

Joining Bob on stage to help perform the songs in intimate duo mode will be Malcolm Clark (ex The Sleepy Jackson). Lucky Melbourne and Perth fans at the Northcote gig and the Kings Park gig will also get to hear the dynamic new band play the first of many gigs to come.

Bob said, “Blind faith - I know it well. It's driven me to recording a new album that does not attempt to recreate the songs of my past and it will be the magic potion I drink as I present these new songs to live audiences for the first time in a format that I've never toured before. How many instruments can two men play at the same time? Will members of the audience, upon being given instruments of percussion, be able to play in time with the music? Will any celebrity musician friends agree to join us onstage? These are just some of the questions we will be seeking answers to as we wind our way around the country throughout November on the "Blind Faith Tour" of 2008.”
