Music News - Jamie Lawson announces his triumphant return to New Zealand
23 November 2015 - 1 Comment
He’s played with Taylor Swift and One Direction, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and was the
first signee to Ed Sheeran’s label, Gingerbread Man Records. UK
singer/songwriter Jamie
Lawson made a huge first impression and gathered thousands of
new fans when he first toured this April as Ed’s very special guest on his
sold-out arena tour.
Now, off the back of chart-topping single Wasn’t Expecting That (watch him
perform it live here) and his recently released
self-titled album, it’s with great pleasure Frontier Touring announces the
triumphant return of Jamie Lawson to Australia and New Zealand in April 2016.
‘His latest
album grows more endearing with each listen and the honest, sensitive style he
exhibits is a seasoned art form honed and crafted over the years. Like a fine
wine, gaining maturity and depth with time.’ – Stereoboard
‘If you like
folky-guitar songs that cling to your heartstrings for days, then you will go
mad for this’ – Heat Magazine
‘Delivered with
authentic charm ★★★’ – Financial Times
★★★–The Guardian ★★★–The Independent
‘If you get that
chance to see Lawson live take it. He won’t be in such intimate surrounds for
long.’ – http://www.13thfloor.co.nz/
Having initially played to over 175,000 fans as Sheeran’s guest, Lawson quickly
cemented himself as an artist to watch when his runaway hit Wasn’t Expecting
That conquered airwaves globally. It had previously reached #3 in Ireland, and
in April the track rocketed to #3 on the ARIA Singles chart, #2 on iTunes
Singles Chart and #1 on iTunes Singer-Songwriter Chart, attaining double platinum
single status. Similarly in New Zealand, the track hit #7 on the Top 40 singles
chart.
This August, Lawson undertook his first ever headline dates in Australia and NZ
– shows quickly selling out, with second dates added in some cities to satisfy
demand.
Featuring Wasn’t Expecting That and his latest hit, Ahead Of Myself, Lawson’s
self-titled album was released in October 2015 through Sheeran’s Gingerbread
Man Records/Warner Music. Lawson’s fans have again wholeheartedly showed their
support with the LP debuting at #4 in the Australia and at #3 in New Zealand.
Closer to home, it entered the UK charts at #1 – a fantastic achievement.
Lawson’s description of his music is as humble as we’ve come to expect.
“Hopefully it's just a very warm and inviting record that you can step into,”
he recently told the BBC. “Folk music, but not in the traditional sense.”
Don’t miss Jamie Lawson when he returns to Australia and New Zealand next
April!
