Music News - Jamie Lawson returns to New Zealand for an intimate headline show this August
22 May 2015 - 0 Comments
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 and New Zealand 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
#7 on the NZ Top 40 Singles Chart, #3 on the ARIA Singles Chart and currently
still in the NZ Chart Top Ten.
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.
‘Lawson drew the [crowd] in with his charm and captivating love songs
accompanied by guitar…’ – Daily
Telegraph
‘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.
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!
