LIKE MINDED FELONS

Posted: 12 June 2007

Singer-songwriters James Blundell, Karl Broadie and Nik Phillips unite as Like Minded Felons for a Top End tour of intimate acoustic shows in June, July and August with performance in Northern Territory, Tasmania and New South Wales. Like Minded Felons shine individually and share the spotlight with original songs from their latest albums, performing almost 3 hours in a stage concept inspired by the acclaimed 1970’s Rolling Thunder Revues. James Blundell brings material from Ring Around The Moon, Karl Broadie showcases One Million Emeralds, his brand new 3rd album and Nik Phillips celebrates the re-issue of Songs from The 4th Floor. James Blundell is an iconic performer and recipient of 9 Golden Guitars, Double Platinum, Platinum and Gold Sales Awards and a multiple ARIA Award nominee. When his latest album Ring Around The Moon was released in March, the single Higher Than Heaven had already gained radio and television support and the clip reached #1 in March on the Country Music Channel. James was the first Australian country artist to create an impact on the mainstream pop charts and for many years was the highest selling artist in that genre. He was also the first Australian country act to sign to a major label recording deal in Nashville and has penned hits for Lee Kernaghan, Slim Dusty and Jimmy Little. Karl Broadie is a displaced troubadour from Scotland with a firm reputation as one of Australia's most talented and hardest working singer/songwriters. Now Sydney based, Karl’s debut album Nowhere Now Here (2003) and EP Everybody’s Gold (2004) received rave reviews and global recognition in MOJO, Uncut, Record Collector, Harp, Amplifier and Rhythms. Nowhere Now Here and Black Crow Calling (2005) reached the #1 spot on the UK’s Americana chart and Karl’s 3rd album One Million Emeralds will be released in Jull on ABC Music. Nik Phillips’ Songs from the 4th Floor was his first foray onto the national stage last year and continues to receive strong airplay around the country. The singles Not In This Life, No One Is To Blame and Postcards have all featured regularly on CMC. A New Talent finalist at this year’s CMAA Golden Guitar Awards, Nik recently returned from performance in Guangdong and is the first Australian to sign a licensing agreement for distribution in China (with Pacific Audio and Video Company).
