Spanish Tour 2018

El cantautor y compositor australiano Musketeer estará de gira por primera vez en España este verano, presentando su trabajo con una serie de conciertos acústicos íntimos.

Tras varios años viajando y girando por varias ciudades alrededor de Europa, Reino Unido, Australia y Nueva Zelanda, Musketeer ha perfeccionado el arte de la composición gracias a la gente, la historia y los paisajes del conjunto de lugares visitados, habiendo llegado al fin el momento de su visita a la Península Ibérica.

En 2017, Musketeer sacó al mercado su primer EP de estudio, 'Seven Long Years', un álbum de Folk-Rock autopublicado que narra el viaje de un recluso del siglo XVIII enviado a los campos de prisioneros de Australia. Estas canciones formarán parte del repertorio de su gira española, junto con los nuevos temas que formarán parte de su próximo EP, 'The North Sea', grabado durante el pasado invierno en Hamburgo, Alemania, junto a su banda al completo.

Haciendo referencia a artistas de la talla de Nick Cave y el ya fallecido Leonard Cohen, esta gira brinda a la audiencia española la magnífica oportunidad de poder disfrutar de Musketeer en su formato más íntimo y lírico. En su directo estará acompañado por su compañero de viajes y compatriota, el también cantautor y compositor australiano, Edward Hughson 'Moondyne'.

Australian Solo Concerts 2018

After leaving to establish a base in Europe in 2016, the Australian born troubadour returns to home shores for two very intimate shows in the sunburnt country.

Having recently toured through Denmark and Germany at beginning of 2018 with a full band, Musketeer will return to Australia for a bold, stripped back performance, channelling the likes of such songwriters as Nick Cave and the late Leonard Cohen.

Over the years Musketeer has honed his skills as a formidable singer-songwriter, gathering rich stories from the people, the history, and landscapes of the places he has wandered. He has toured solo in several countries in Europe, including Germany, The Netherlands, France, Sweden, Denmark, The Czech Republic, The United Kingdom, as well as playing many shows in Australia & New Zealand - supporting such acts like Dustin Tebbutt (AU) & Half Moon Run (CA).

In 2017 Musketeer released the debut studio EP ‘Seven Long Years’. The EP, written, recorded and produced in Newcastle, Australia follows the journey of an 18th century convict sent to the prison camps of Australia. It combines old sea-tale story telling with a modern musical sentiment.

In 2018, Musketeer will release a second Studio EP entitled ‘The North Sea.’ After establishing a working base in Hamburg, Germany, the recordings will mark a new era for the folk project - joining forces with some of the most hearty local musicians to bring the vision to life.

FULL BAND TOUR 2018 - Denmark & Germany

For the first time in Europe, Musketeer brings a full band show to the stages of Denmark and Germany. 

After establishing a base in Hamburg, Germany in 2017, Musketeer now comes together with a local troop of hearty musicians transforming the wandering singer-songwriter act into a fierce four-piece rock troop. Together they bring the folk-inspired tales of Musketeer into the realms of rock & roll.

This transformation follows a rich history of solo touring across Australia, New Zealand, and Europe - including support shows for kindred folk acts such as Half-Moon Run (CA) and Dustin Tebbutt (AU) - as well as releasing a debut studio EP entitled ‘Seven Long Years’. 

Influenced by the likes of such musical storytellers as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Leonard Cohen, Musketeer pairs a passionate musical performance with vivid, narrative-rich lyrics, unafraid to reach into the deep.
