A bit about our touring artists:
Nikki Lane & Her Band (USA) *South Australian debut
It’s been 11 years since Nashville’s outlaw country queen (by way of South Carolina, LA & New York) last played in Australia, and we’re here for her signature blend of vintage country and rock ‘n’ roll swagger to headline the inaugural Take Me Home.
With a voice as sharp as her style and songs that walk the line between heartbreak and honky-tonk rebellion, Nikki Lane has carved her place as one of Americana’s boldest and most authentic voices.
Y.O.G.A. (Aus)
Y.O.G.A. is a new music project from Reuben Styles. In Peking Duk, his songs frequently explore ideas of freedom and the feeling of breaking loose. Y.O.G.A., short for “You’re Only Great Always”, does the same. But with a significant twist. It’s COW☆TECH and you will have to be at Take Me Home as he closes the night with a hell of a party to find out what that means!
The Linda Ronstadt Show featuring Ella Hooper & All-Star Band (Aus) *South Australian debut
Celebrate one of the greatest and diverse singers of all time, LINDA RONSTADT, as we pay tribute to the halcyon days of Linda’s iconic seventies sounds with Violet Town country cowgirl ELLA HOOPER, of Killing Heidi renown, out the front of an all-star backing band.
The LINDA RONSTADT SHOW features the greatest songs from Linda’s extraordinary repertoire including You’re No Good, It’s So Easy, Willin’, Silver Threads & Golden Needles, Tumblin’ Dice, Blue Bayou, When Will I Be Loved and Long, Long Time, plus many more.
Laid Back Country Picker & Honey (USA) *Debut Australian tour
Direct from Nashville, the dynamic duo melds 70s guitar power with honky-tonk leanings. Laid Back spins tall tales and pays homage to the guitar gods while being driven by the jackhammer drumming of Honey. If Waylon and Lemmy had joined the White Stripes for a jam in a barn, it might have sounded like LB & Honey.
Vincent Neil Emerson (USA) *Debut Australian tour
Acclaimed Texan troubadour Vincent Neil Emerson brings his sharp songwriting and old soul to Take Me Home. With a voice that echoes the greats and lyrics that cut straight to the bone, Emerson has been hailed as one of the most authentic and powerful new voices in Americana and country music today.
