HE’S baaack – okay well he’s on his way – Jimmy Barnes is about to hit the road for his Welcome To The Pleasure House tour and calling into Twin Towns on the way.
Jimmy, a crowd favourite here on the Tweed, is one of Australia’s favourite and most prolific artist and he is about to storm the stage armed with his live band and a number of special guests including his immensely talented daughter Mahalia Barnes.
Also opening up on a selection of dates will be Barnes’ second eldest daughter Eliza-Jane and her musical partner Ceci who create brilliant and unique music as Evil J & Saint Cecilia.
Jimmy’s extraordinary career as both a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the legendary Cold Chisel has made him one of the most popular and highest selling Australian music artists of all time.
In addition, he can also lay claim to an incredible 13 #1 albums across his career.
Welcome To The Pleasure House will take in some areas he hasn’t visited for some time.
Jimmy kicked off 2013 tearing up the stage alongside ‘The Boss’ – Bruce Springsteen at his Hanging Rock ‘Wrecking Ball’ shows.
Now, in addition to working on material for a forthcoming album, Barnes is geared up to bring his iconic live show packed with all the hits to his fans Australia-wide.
“I am writing songs for a new album at the moment and I thought it might be nice to give fans a taste of things to come,” he said.
“So I have decided to give anyone who buys a ticket to the show a copy of a new song I wrote with Jackson and Harrison Freud.
“ The song is called Pleasure House and I have decided to name the tour after the song. So welcome to the Pleasure House, let’s all have a wild time.”
**All ticket holders will be eligible for a free download of Jimmy brand new track, Pleasure House.
