Next week, Tamworth residents will have a chance to get up close and personal with Adam Harvey in one of his most intimate shows in the city yet.

Fresh off a seven-month tour with his mate Beccy Cole, Harvey has plenty of stories to share from his life on the road along with the music that fans know and adore him for.

Country lovers can catch the star at The Loft, at the top of the Hog’s Breath Cafe, on Wednesday, September 27 where the eight-time Golden Guitar winner will perform a dinner show.

Fans can meet the man and hear the stories and inspirations behind their favourite songs.

Speaking to The Leader, Harvey said it was one of his more intimate shows he’s performed in Tamworth and without the backing of a full band.

Instead, he’ll be joined by Tamworth’s Lawrie Minson on guitar.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” he said.

“It’s something a bit different to what I normally do.

“I’ll take requests, whatever anyone calls out I’ll play it.

“It could be anything from Johnny Cash, Kasey Chambers to The Wiggles.

“It will be a bit of a challenge, and I can’t guarantee there won’t be a few train wrecks, but that is one of the joys of working solo.”

Harvey is in the final stages of a tour with long-time friend Beccy Cole to promote their album The Great Country Songbook, Volume II, showcasing their twist on some classic country hits.

He said there was plenty of great memories made and plenty of stories to tell.

“I’ve got plenty of gossip and good stories about my old mate Beccy,” he said.

“We’ve got to be friends because we know too much about each other.” 

“The tour has been fantastic.

“I think people love all those old country songs, the album has done really well aswell.

“It’s a testament to the old classic country songs, people love them and want to hear them.

“Beccy is the best entertainer I’ve ever seen live on stage, just to be on stage working with her every night has been one of my highlights.”
