Fresh from an exhilarating sold-out performance, Eskimo Joe have announced a huge show with the West Australian Symphony!
It’s sure to be an amazing meeting of musical minds one again. Celebrating their 21st birthday in 2018, Eskimo Joe’s successful symphony orchestra tour of Australia kicked off in their hometown with WASO at the Perth Concert Hall in February of that year and set in motion a tide of new acclaim around the country.
In recent times the trio of Kav Temperley, Stu MacLeod and Joel Quartermain have curated deluxe releases of four of their classic albums – GIRL (2001), INSHALLA (2009), GHOSTS OF THE PAST (2011), and BLACK FINGERNAILS RED WINE – reaffirming the bond they have with their loyal following as well as making many new fans along the way.
With sales of over 750,000 in Australia alone, the drama, spark and irresistible melody of Eskimo Joe’s music has stood the test of time for over two decades now, and the grand scale of this great Australian band performing their classic songs with a 50-piece symphony orchestra in Kings Park & Botanic Garden is an experience not to be missed.
Joining Eskimo Joe on this line-up is fellow WA music royalty, Bob Evans, aka Kevin Mitchell. From playing the pub stages of Perth together in the mid-‘90s when the Eskies and Jebediah were up-and-comers, the diverse career paths of these ARIA Award-winning musical friends are bonded by their enduring ascendance.
One of the country’s most admired singer/songwriters, the extent of Bob Evans’ impact on the Australian music consciousness was highlighted last year with the release of FULL CIRCLE, a best-of collection that chronicled the hits and fan- favourites from his five solo album releases.
Eskimo Joe and Bob Evans, as ever, are at the top of their game.
