ShareTouring in support of his critically acclaimed latest work Wild Goose Chasers, Beans and his long time musical partner Matt Millership are sizing up sixteen headline shows in total.
With support across the tour from William Crighton, the run of dates kicks-off at Liverpool’s The Cavern Club on 12th March, and will see Beans performing across England, Scotland, and Wales at some familiar haunts.
“I will be playing some of the country’s finest independent venues” says Beans. “It’s my annual trip and I’ve been touring these venues for many years now. Support comes from William Crighton, the Australian folk powerhouse. I’m currently in Australia supporting him, and he’ll be supporting me in the UK in a musical friendship.”
While Beans will be dipping into his vast catalogue of classics, the shows will also pose an unmissable opportunity to hear music from his refreshing new album Wild Goose Chasers.
Featuring former singles Myths & Legends and Why? Beans has also just released a new video for the stand-out track Faith In The Moon in anticipation of the tour.
Released at the end of last year, Wild Goose Chasers cemented Beans’ reputation as an arch songwriter for our times, and one unafraid to push himself into adventurous new stratospheres. A collection of newfangled pagan hymns to coincide with the end of truth, Wild Goose Chasers is a suite of sparsely-arranged, supernaturally-shaded songs unlike anything Beans has made before.
“These songs are about trading modern society for a wilder, more feral existence and are songs that dig deep into the meaning of life and our purpose on Earth. They provide an exit strategy from a boring dystopia by gambling the flood for a fairy tale.” says Beans of the record. “This might sound pompous, but such is life, and such is the wild goose chase.”
