More than half a century after American Pie first changed the shape of popular music, the original troubadour Don McLean returns to Australia this October to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the song that continues to define generations.
Don is pleased to now add Geelong to the list of shows on this tour!
Joining Don at all shows will be Australian singer-songwriter Gaudion.
Hailing from Hillston in outback New South Wales, Gaudion’s shows are all about comfort, charisma and heartfelt storytelling. With a vision to create music that inspires love, hope and reality, Gaudion seamlessly blends folk, country and pop, drawing inspiration from the likes of Tracy Chapman, Ed Sheeran and John Mayer.
Joining Don for both the Melbourne and Geelong shows will be very special guests 1927*.
For more than three decades, the multi-ARIA Award-winning band has remained a staple on Australian radio, with their enduring hits such as ‘That’s When I Think of You’, ‘Compulsory Hero’, ‘To Love Me’, ‘Scars’, ‘Don’t Forget Me’, and of course, ‘If I Could’ becoming part of the fabric of modern music culture.
