ANNOUNCES JOY. AND HEIN COOPER AS SUPPORTS FOR AUS HEADLINE SHOWS THIS JANUARY & FEBRUARY
Joining James Bay on his most extensive tour of Australia to date are hotly tipped 18 year old producer-vocalist JOY. and indie musician and songwriter Hein Cooper. With Perth and Sydney shows already completely sold out and limited tickets remaining in all other cities, fans best act quick to secure tickets to see one of 2015’s biggest break-through artists.
JOY.’s unmistakable vocal register has captured hearts around Australia, particularly on her ethereal track ‘About Us’. In addition to her incredible vocal talent, JOY.’s musicianship and production skills are absurdly advanced for someone who is only 18. All the songs on her self-produced debut EP ODE (out now) translate beautifully in a live context.
Live, her vocals are unmatched. Back in late 2014, Peking Duk hand-picked her to sing on their triple j Like A Version performance of Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ and original track ‘Take Me Over’. JOY. has been touring extensively since then to much critical acclaim and to sold-out rooms.
‘Incredible voice, incredible talent, incredible stage presence’ – Project U
‘The bass was thick, JOY.’s voice was stunning, the swirl of her intricate productions was mesmerising.’ – Howl and Echoes
Hein Cooper is a fresh faced singer songwriter from Milton, NSW. Discovered in 2013 by the manager of triple j favourites Half Moon Run, Hein travelled to Canada to write his self-titled EP. Following its release in early 2015, melodic acoustic track ‘The Art Of Escape’ was snapped up by triple j listeners and was followed by the slightly darker electronic jam ‘The Real’.
Hein Cooper’s stunning live show is not to be missed. His strengths lie in his strong vocal and unmatched guitar skills, demonstrated by his beautiful solo interpretation of ‘The Art of Escape’. Citing influences like Jeff Buckley and James Blake, it’s no surprise he has a strong on-stage presence.
‘It’s remarkable to see how much the emerging talent has grown as a performer’ – The AU Review
‘Hein Cooper is one to keep an eye on!’ – Howl and Echoes
James Bay has been touring extensively since the release of ARIA Album Charts #1 Chaos and the Calm, garnering fans in critics and punters.
‘One of the best organic live acts around’ – The AU Review
Bay has been nominated for Best New Artist, Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song at the forthcoming 2016 Grammy Awards as well as numerous BRIT Award nominations.
Bay completed two incredible Australian tours last year, and this year’s shows are set to be just as memorable. Do not miss out on seeing the multi Grammy-nominated performer, joined by very special guests JOY. and Hein Cooper, put on an unmissable performance.
