May Tour Dates - Australia
I'm so lucky to be playing some lovely supports in May. Up first is
with Angie Hart on May 6th at the Sando in Newtown, Then I'll be on the road with old mate Paul Greene (reliving the Glebe Excelsior sing along days?)
from the 14th to 16th playing Cronulla, Milton, Nowra, Bulli and Sydney which should be a cracker of an adventure, and then a wonderful support with
Mark Olsen and Gary Louris from The Jayhawks on May 21. I'm such a fan of theirs!
April Update
On the 30th of April, I've got a couple of interesting shows, one an interview/gig at the roxbury with Dirty Mick, a new concept,

Melanie Horsnell to support Jason Mraz Wednesday 6th August – Perth, The Capitol
Jason Mraz is a musician that musician’s want to work with, the duets on his latest record with UK artist James Morrison and Colbie Caillat are the first examples of this, the second is the persistent submissions from local artists for the opening spot on his August tour.
Sydney songbird Melanie Horsnell has taken out the coveted spot, being personally selected by the artist himself. “‘She’s got great lyrics and a soulful and artsy voice,’” said Mraz
