While co-headlining tours are nothing new, every now and again you get one that stands out. Such is the case here with Darren Middleton and Guy Pearce. Ex-Powerfinger lovely Darren Middleton is enjoying a new chapter in his career, recently releasing his debut solo album Translations. Guy, meanwhile, is showing there is more to his trick bag than his fine acting, with his debut album, Broken Bones, recently leading to a couple of sold-out launch shows. A full backing band will complement the songmen, who will also take turns in performing each other’s work. Darren: “Having been a fan of Guy’s film work and remembering something he said in an interview years ago that framed my own drive for music perfectly – and then listening to his incredibly well-constructed album, I’m really excited to be hitting the road for this unique musical adventure.” Guy: “He’s a wonderful storyteller and the idea of getting to perform together is a thrill for me. He’s a great songwriter and as we know, helped take Powderfinger to the top of the charts many times over. Apart from getting to sing together, I know we’ll also have a good laugh.” The Capital, Bendigo – January 31 & GPAC, Geelong – February 28.
