“Completely transfixing. Proves it’s still possible to hold a room’s breath still with just a voice and guitar.” – L.A Times

Love Police Touring and Spunk Records are thrilled to announce the first ever Australian shows for U.S singer-songwriter Julien Baker.

Baker hails from Memphis, Tennessee and last December quietly released one of the most beautiful and stunning albums of 2015. Her debut record ‘Sprained Ankle’ – a collection of very personal and heartfelt songs immediately became a classic and had music fans and critics-alike the world over gushing.

Come November, Australian audiences will be able to hear these genuinely deep and surprisingly dark stories come to life. Julien has been wowing audiences across North America this year with this magical combination and even visited the U.K and Europe for the first time. She’s supported bands like The National, Band Of Horses, Frightened Rabbit and her festival resume now includes Austin City Limits, Primavera Sound and the prestigious Newport Folk Festival, where she stole the show.

Julien will play four intimate club shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth as well as some sweet festival slots including Mullum, Queenscliff and Fairgrounds. Label mate Emma Russack will be joining Julien as the main support on these headlining shows, performing songs from her new album ‘In A New State’.

Tickets on sale Thursday, August 25 at 9.00am (EST).  See Love Police for full ticket details.
