Wild & wondrous Australian artist Kirin J Callinan returns to New Zealand to play three shows this July & August. Callinan will launch his new solo album If I Could Sing at Elemental Nights Auckland August 4th, Meow Wellington August 5th, as well as performing three weeks earlier at Nightlight festival New Plymouth July 13, alongside Arlo Parks, Alien Weaponry (NZ), Erny Belle, Dartz, Earth Tongue and Samara Alofa with PollyHill.

“One of the country’s most original, irreverent and sometimes controversial music personas, Callinan’s style is unpredictable and eclectic.” - The Guardian

Kirin J Callinan’s new album, If I Could Sing, is released on 23 June and includes singles Young Drunk Driver featuring Hubert Lenoir and Anæmic Adonis a ‘skittering electro-pop mishmash, hurtling along on an ecstatic bed of synth and drums’ as described by the Guardian. If I Could Sing will be Callinan’s fourth solo album release following Embracism (2013), Bravado (2017) and Return to Centre (2019).

He has collaborated with the best of them, from Connan Mockasin to Weyes Blood, Neil Finn, Jimmy Barnes and most recently working with American artist Caroline Polacheck on her latest album Desire, I Want To Turn Into You and Australian artist Genesis Owusu on his, Smiling With No Teeth.
