Member of You Am I, football fan, songsmith, legend, and all round good guy Tim Rogers heads to WA this July to plays songs from the last 20 years of his career - joined by gun slinging compadre Davey Lane no less.
With a career now motoring along in its third unique decade, the Kalgoorlie-born songwriter’s remarkable resume encompasses the world of Music, Film, Television and Stage.
As the frontman of You Am I, one of the essential Australian rock n’ roll bands, Tim Rogers has released 10 studio albums, three of which have debuted at number one in consecutive order – 1995’s Hi Fi Way, 1996’s Hourly Daily and 1998’s #4 Record – with the records receiving ARIA Awards and multiple platinum and gold status for commercial sales. The band has been released internationally, and toured worldwide, headlining shows across North America and Europe.
As a solo artist, Rogers’ has released some five solo albums and has been consistently lauded for his ability to capture the Australian psyche and spirit of suburbia in his songwriting.
While in Perth Rogers’ will play three intimate shows designed to showcase his incredible songwriting catalogue, with all venues and stages clear of the flightpath and chosen to maximise the audience’s ability to enjoy every last lyrical gem.
With the renaissance man continually jumping between music, stage, TV and writing work (as well as the odd charity football game) don’t miss this rare chance to see Rogers one-on-one in WA.
Joining Rogers is guitarist David Lane. While holding down You Am I guitar duties, Lane has a forged a formidable reputation as one of the nation’s finest guitarists through his recent solo output, with noughties favourites The Pictures and for his work with Jimmy Barnes - Official, The Wrights and Crowded House.
