“Australia is a country that I feel would really dig Jamie. I’ve known Jamie for about five or six years – he’s just a phenomenal talent.” – Ed Sheeran

Having recently toured Australia and New Zealand as the special guest of good pal Ed Sheeran and currently enjoying a platinum debut single with ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’, 2015 has been a huge year for the Manchester singer-songwriter. Jamie’s winning single scored the #1 spot in Ireland, while it also hit #3 on the ARIA Singles Chart, #2 on iTunes Singles Chart and #1 on iTunes Singer-Songwriter Chart – and can be heard all across our airwaves right now.

Check out this clip of Jamie performing a special acoustic version of ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’ under the Sydney Harbour Bridge when down under back in April. And just yesterday the singer dropped a brand new acoustic track, which you can get as a free download by signing up to his mailing list – listen to ‘Cold In Ohio’ here.

These special dates will be the first time Jamie’s performed intimate headline shows on our shores. Fans can expect brand new music coming soon, Lawson recently wrapping up recording of his debut album earlier this month.

Lawson is the first artist to be signed to Ed Sheeran’s new label Gingerbread Man Records, and has supported his friend on the road throughout the UK and Europe. He has performed alongside Martha Wainwright, Damien Rice, Van Morrison, Glen Hansard, Katie Melua, James Morrison and Angus & Julia Stone. Later this month he’ll support Taylor Swift at the singer’s sold-out show in London’s Hyde Park.

Supporting Jamie throughout his Australian dates is Melbourne-based troubadour Harry Hookey, who’ll perform tracks from his debut album, Misdiagnosed (out now via Warner Music Australia), recorded with producer Nash Chambers at Chambers’ Foggy Mountain Studios. Check out lead single ‘Man Of Fire’ here.

He recently toured our shores as the special guest of Ed Sheeran and has a platinum single on the airwaves right now. Frontier Touring is thrilled to welcome back British singer-songwriter Jamie Lawson, who’ll perform intimate headline shows across Australia this August.

“Australia is a country that I feel would really dig Jamie. I’ve known Jamie for about five or six years – he’s just a phenomenal talent.” – Ed Sheeran

2015 has been huge for the talented Manchester singer, who saw his debut single, ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’ (watch the video here), reach number one in Ireland upon its release, with over half a million YouTube views worldwide of its video so far. Having first made its debut in Australia, following the single’s success in Ireland Lawson re-recorded it (including new vocals captured in Brisbane) – and immediately the song was a hit, peaking at #3 on Australia’s ARIA Singles chart, #2 on iTunes Singles Chart and #1 on iTunes Singer-Songwriter Chart, going platinum earlier this month.

Lawson’s virtual overnight success is testament to his talent. Relatively unknown before a fan sent online footage of a show to Irish station Toda FM, Lawson’s rise has been extraordinary. Aussie fans got a special introduction to Lawson’s live performances when he supported long-time pal Ed Sheeran on the ‘Thinking Out Loud’ hitmaker’s recent ‘X Tour’ of Australia and NZ tour in March/April.

‘Jamie Lawson won the hearts of everyone ... definitely someone to keep an eye out for in the future’ – Coup de Main

Friends since their days busking around London, Lawson is the very first artist to be signed to Sheeran’s brand new record label Gingerbread Man Records, and has supported Sheeran on the road throughout the UK and Europe. “I literally went from

playing an open mic in Manchester one week to playing in front of 17,000 people the next week with Ed in Australia,” Lawson joked to The Daily Telegraph.

Lawson has performed alongside talent like Martha Wainwright, Damien Rice, Van Morrison, Glen Hansard, Katie Melua, James Morrison and Angus & Julia Stone. In June 2015 he has another massive stadium show: he’ll join none other than Taylor Swift – not to mention Australia’s own Vance Joy – at the American singer’s massive sold-out show in London’s Hyde Park.

Supporting Jamie throughout his Australian dates is Melbourne-based troubadour Harry Hookey. Misdiagnosed is his recently released 12-track debut album (out now via Warner Music Australia), recorded with producer Nash Chambers at Chambers’ Foggy Mountain Studios. Steeped in rich storytelling and alt-country-tinged flavours, the title track took out first place in the Unsigned category at last year’s International Songwriting Awards, while lead single ‘Man Of Fire’ (watch the clip here) is a promise of what’s to come. “Harry Hookey’s Misdiagnosed is the musical equivalent of a pep talk and a hug from an old friend – 4/5,” says renownedforsound.com.

Genuine and heartfelt, the songs of Jamie Lawson will melt your heart. He won’t be performing in venues this small and intimate for long – get in quick to catch Jamie Lawson live and up close this August!
