Don McGlashan announces 'Lucky Stars' solo tour
A rich collection of personal songs
exploring love, regret and mortality, the recently released
album Lucky Stars from pre-eminent singer/songwriter Don
McGlashan is already considered to be among his best work.
Written at a bach on the Thames Estuary, Lucky Stars was
recorded mostly at Auckland’s Roundhead Studio, Auckland
with guitarist Tom Rodwell, Mutton Bird David Long and Seven
Sisters/Phoenix Foundation drummer Chris O’Connore.
The New Zealand Herald’s Russell Baillie gave the album five stars, deeming the song ‘For Your Touch’ the centrepiece of one terrific record. A personal classic.” Metro commented on “the spine-tingling way he moves from major to minor keys, his keenly observational eye, the thoughtfulness with which his songs are forged”. In his Blog On The Tracks’ Simon Sweetman named Lucky Stars as “his finest solo record so far. An evocative journey, an almost spiritual calmness guides this record’s songs, they hover – finding their own space – long after first impact.”
An electrifying nationwide tour with a full band saw Don bring his songs to riveted crowds the country over. Come September, Don will take to the road once again for a string of solo tour dates in towns around New Zealand.
See below for details and be sure to catch Don solo, performing songs from this acclaimed new album.
