Event Description
The Whitlams Black Stump Duo - Kookaburra 2024 Album Launch Tour
The Whitlams Black Stump album "Kookaburra" out March 8
Tim Freedman and Ollie Thorpe’s acclaimed piano and pedal steel duo is the perfect vehicle to strip back Whitlams repertoire and deliver classics like "No Aphrodisiac" and "_Blow Up the Pokies_” with poignant atmospherics.
This intimate show will also serve to present new material, as the pair play songs from the debut album of Freedman’s new Americana group - The Whitlams Black Stump. Check out the 13 track long player, “_Kookaburra_” from March 8.
The Whitlams Black Stump’s recent singles, "T_he Day John Sattler Broke His Jaw_" and "_No Aphrodisiac (Black Stump)_”, which Countrytown called "a three-minute banjo-fied instant classic", have been staples on Australian Country radio over the past year. The album, two years in the making, was produced by multiple Golden Guitar winner Matt Fell.
