Jon Stevens Around the Australia in 8 days Tour


Jon Stevens Around the Australia in 8 days Tour
Fresh from headlining the REACH OUT FOR ASIA Tsunami benefit with a reformed Noiseworks, Jon Stevens is back with his AROUND AUSTRALIA IN EIGHT DAYS acoustic tour and his first solo single in over five years, a remake of The Doors classic "Light My Fire".

From February 26 to March 5, Jon's tour will take in a different city each day including Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Perth and Adelaide in a whirlwind run, heralding the return of one of Australia's best loved performers. The new single "Light My Fire" (at radio February 4) is taken from the amazing new album "Life Ain't For the Faint Hearted" on which Jon shows his versatility and talent on a strong set of tracks with a variety of influences.

Coming to prominence as the frontman of rock/power pop outfit Noiseworks in the late 80's, Jon has enjoyed multiple weeks at the top of the Australian charts, a successful season with John Farnham and Kate Ceberano in Jesus Christ Superstar and three successful solo albums. Jon has also recorded singles to aid the 2000 Olympic Torch Relay and the drought relief campaign.

His work with Jon Farriss and previous backing vocal sessions with INXS led to Jon joining the band after the untimely death of Michael Hutchence.

In late 2003 Jon's desire to create new music resulted in his resignation from INXS and commencement of work on an album which has redefined this eclectic artist's musical direction.

A reflection on his 25 years in the music biz, Ain't No Life for the Faint Hearted is a return to Jon's soul roots and amalgamates the talents of some new guest artists with the skills of some of the most experienced producers in the urban world.

His Around Australia in Eight Days acoustic tour will include new material as well as his biggest hits from throughout his career.
