Australian singer-songwriter Phil Jamieson has today announced a new chapter in his solo career, unveiling his brand-new single Weekends (out now), alongside news of his forthcoming sophomore album 10CHARLIE, set for release on August 14.
To celebrate the album, Phil Jamieson will embark on the expansive PJ AIR tour, taking in more than 40 dates across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The run marks one of his most ambitious solo tours to date, with tickets on sale at 9am local time on Monday 13 April via philjamieson.com.au.
Weekends offers the first glimpse of 10CHARLIE, a record that sees Phil Jamieson leaning further into his storytelling instincts, blending reflective lyricism, ambient guitar textures and his signature vocal style that has defined Australian alternative music for decades.
“Weekends. It’s a destination. It’s a place among the tall pines. It’s a restaurant / bar / coffee shop / diner. You can go to Weekends on a Monday. It’s a place to agree or disagree,” Jamieson explains. “The song is built around intimacy and hope. And it has some fun guitars.”
10CHARLIE captures Jamieson at his most personal and direct, shaped by moments of introspection and creative clarity. Reuniting with producer Oscar Dawson and featuring collaborations with Davey Lane, Rob Muinos, Ben Edgar and Soph Ozard, the album moves between meditative and intense, pairing melody, nuance and emotional weight.
“This album is much more personal than my first record. In times of intense turbulence, I’ve written what I’ve needed to hear,” Jamieson says. “It’s a balm for my soul. 10CHARLIE is a boarding pass. You are not in the exit row, your luggage can be stored under the seat in front of you. Please follow all cabin crew directions and fasten your seat belt for take off.”
The PJ AIR tour will see Phil Jamieson road-testing new material alongside fan favourites in intimate venues across the country, from breweries and pubs to theatres and clubs.
“PJ AIR is a big adventure,” he says. “My co-pilot is Ricky Albeck and I can’t wait to play for you all. Songs will be sung and stories will be told.”
Weekends is out now.
10CHARLIE will be released on Friday 14 August.
Tickets to the PJ AIR tour go on sale at 9am local time on Monday 13 April via philjamieson.com.au.
