He’s returning to Australia on the back of his sophomore album ‘Neon Blue’.

It only seems like yesterday that Joshua Hedley, in Australia playing fiddle for Justin Townes Earle, was dragged to the mic on the main stage at the first ever Out On The Weekend Festival in Melbourne. Everyone involved in Justin’s band had told promoter BT of Love Police what an incredible singer Joshua was, and BT wanted to hear it for himself.

The next year, 2016, Joshua was back in Australia on his first solo tour anywhere ever. A deal with Jack White’s Third Man Records was just around the corner, followed by his brilliant debut, Mr Jukebox.

Joshua Hedley’s touring partner Emily Nenni also knows Robert’s Western World well, having spent years sharpening her chops there and at the smoky double wide trailer Santa’s Pub. And like Joshua, Emily has a unique approach.

“What I love about country is the songs can be very honest and vulnerable, yet they’re beautiful enough to make you cry,” Nenni notes. “My music is sweet and sad, but I don’t take myself too seriously. It’s old school honky-tonk with a slightly different flavour.”
