Acclaimed singer/songwriter, Amigo The Devil, announced an extensive 13-date Australian and New Zealand tour earlier this year, and today he announces David Talley as main support for the full tour, kicking off in August. The shows will vary between solo and full band sets – tickets on sale now via Destroy All Lines.
A gifted singer-songwriter, David Talley’s music draws from his roots in Medellín, Colombia, and his upbringing in Quito, Ecuador, and sees him blending a unique mix of genres from haunting folk, old western balladry and 1950s crooning into something personal and authentic. After nearly two decades of dedication to his craft, including fronting his own band The Hardin Draw and currently serving as lead guitarist for Amigo The Devil, David has stepped into the spotlight with his own original work. Audiences across Australia and New Zealand will be among the first to experience his reflective storytelling and captivating soundscapes live, delivered with the same compelling honesty that has long defined his career.
The tour will begin Friday August 1 with three solo shows in New Zealand— debuting at The Loons in Christchurch, The Last Place in Hamilton and The Mothership in Auckland. From there, Amigo The Devil will play another solo show at Sol Bar on the Sunshine Coast before being joined by a full band at The Triffid in Brisbane, Factory Theatre in Sydney, Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide, and Amplifier Bar in Perth. A string of solo shows will round the tour out at Lyric’s Underground in Mayland’s, Railway Club in Darwin, Alter Bar in Hobart and finally Royal Oak in Launceston.
With a brilliant mind, full soul and a penchant for the obscure, Amigo The Devil, aka Danny Kiranos, has cultivated a dedicated fellowship of fans through his artistry and songwriting. His stories, from the tragic to the comedic, harkens back to a more brutal state of songwriting. His songs are greatly influenced by the honesty of Leonard Cohen, the creativity of Tom Waits and the ruthlessness of Chavela Vargas. Rather than imitate, he identifies with their authentic disregard of consequences when it comes to songwriting and releasing music. Amigo the Devil is not polished or clean – he’s all heart, with reckless abandon. His understanding of emotions is deep and instinctual, choosing to embrace one’s flaws instead of trying to change them.
The latest chapter of Amigo the Devil comes in the form of February 2024’s release of ‘Yours Until the War is Over‘ – his most disarming and singular work to date. The Australian Tour will see the debut of a handful of new tunes as well as a recounting of the old.
Join Amigo The Devil this August as he reminds us all of the roots, the rawness and the reality that music can offer. Tickets on sale now via Destroy All Lines.
