WIL WAGNER ANNOUNCES SUMMER SOLO TOUR
Touring addict WIL WAGNER has just announced an extensive run of summer solo dates through February and March. After a huge year of international touring through 10 different countries, sold-out shows across Australia and recent festival appearances with his beloved group The Smith Street Band, the charismatic and prolific frontman is restless once again. Joined by his American buddy Max Stern (Signals Midwest/ Meridian) from Cleveland, Ohio and Sydney's banjo shredding duo Pinch Hitter, Wagner will be hitting capital cities and regional areas through QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and TAS before getting back in the van with The Smith Street Band for their massive national tour with Menzingers though March.
"Hello! I just did a bunch of touring with The Smith Street Band and now I don't want to go home cause I have to like pay bills and do chores and shit! So I'm doing a solo tour! Hooray! I'll be playing a run of solo shows along the East Coast of the country in February and March and I'm bringing my best friend Max Stern from the bands Signals Midwest and Meridian all the way from fucking Cleveland which is in America so he must be famous and cool! He is neither of those things really but he is fucking beautiful and talented and you're all going to really enjoy his music I promise! Check him out at the links below! Also on board for all the shows are Max and I's best friends Pinch Hitter! Dave and Nick have been strutting their handsome stuff around for the last year or so now and play haunting duel banjo emo folk songs I guess? I don't know but they're fucking awesome and also both worth listening to and also very handsome. Please come and see me and some handsome men play gigos this summer it'll be good and the shows will be cheap and we'll all have a great party!" - Love, Wil xoxo
