Tim Freedman Tickets

Tim Freedman strips back his Whitlams repertoire and delivers classics like "No Aphrodisiac" and "Blow Up the Pokies" from the piano, with help from acclaimed pedal steel and electric guitarist Ollie Thorpe, in what they call The Black Stump Duo. They have toured together nationally in Freedman's alt-country offshoot, The Whitlams Black Stump Band, and their recent singles "The Day John Sattler Broke His Jaw" and "Kate Kelly" have been staples on Australian Country radio over the past year. Expect a deep dive into The Whitlams's repertoire, some new songs, and a few cover versions of Kris Kristofferson and Warren Xevon.

The Daily Telegraph wrote of a recent solo show at Sydney's  City Recital Hall, "The tall and gangly front man charmed and cajoled his 600-strong audience with all the debonair flair of a Bryan Ferry....The stripped back accompaniment of the piano highlighted just how cleverly constructed his lyrics are – they sound so uncontrived, which is hellish difficult to do as any would-be songwriter will tell you." (Steve Moffatt)
