PHIL JAMIESON ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM ’10CHARLIE’ SET FOR AUG 14 RELEASE, NEW SINGLE ‘WEEKENDS’ AND MASSIVE 44 DATE AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Australian singer-songwriter Phil Jamieson has today announced a huge new chapter in his solo career, unveiling his brand-new single Weekends(out now), alongside news of his forthcoming sophomore album 10Charlie (presave here), set for release August 14.
To celebrate the album, Jamieson will embark on an enormous tour of Australia, PJ AIR, hitting venues across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. With more than 40 shows nationwide, PJ AIR is one of Jamieson’s most ambitious solo tours yet. Tickets go on sale at 9am local time on Monday 13 April from www.philjamieson.com.au/.
New single Weekends offers the first taste of 10Charlie, a record that sees Jamieson diving deeper into his storytelling instincts, blending reflective lyricism, ambient guitar textures and that unmistakable voice that has defined Australian alternative music for decades.
“Weekends. It’s a destination. It’s a place among the tall pines. It’s a restaurant / bar / coffee shop / diner. You can go to Weekends on a Monday. It’s a place to agree or disagree,” explains Jamieson. “The song is built around intimacy and hope. And it has some fun guitars.”
10Charlie represents Jamieson at his most personal and direct, capturing moments of introspection and transcendence. Reuniting with producer Oscar Dawson and featuring collaborations with artists including Davey Lane, Rob Muinos, Ben Edgar and Soph Ozard, the album is at times both meditative and furious; as Jamieson presents stories of reflection fueled by moments of introspection and an overall commitment to pouring into one’s own elevation and fulfilment. 10Charlie weaves its way through melody and nuance with ease, matching Jamieson’s signature charisma and frenetic energy as a rock vocalist and musician. “This album is much more personal than my first record. In times of intense turbulence, I’ve written what I’ve needed to hear,” Jamieson says. “It’s a balm for my soul. 10Charlie is a boarding pass. You are not in the exit row, your luggage can be stored under the seat in front of you. Please follow all cabin crew directions and fasten your seat belt for take off.”
The PJ AIR tour will see Jamieson taking the new songs, alongside fan favourites from across his catalogue, to communities and venues throughout Australia. From breweries and theatres to beloved local pubs, the tour celebrates the grassroots venues and music scenes that have always been at the heart of Australian live music. Excited to perform his new album for fans in every pocket of Australia, Jamieson enthuses,“PJ AIR is a BIG adventure. My co-pilot is Ricky Albeck and I can’t wait to play for you all. Songs will be sung and stories will be told.”
Weekends is out now.
10CHARLIE will be released on Friday 14 August, and is available to presave here.
Tickets to the PJ AIR tour go on sale at 9am local time on Monday 13 April from www.philjamieson.com.au/.
