Wayfarer Owen Campbell shares his journey and upcoming Australian tour. Still basking in the success of his debut album “Sunshine Road”, and with an increasing fan base from all over the world, Owen Campbell sat down with Undercover to share some of his new material and talk about his upcoming Australian “The Pilgrim” Tour. While there is a no nonsense manner to him, not a trace of that ‘angry busker’ portrayal can be found in Owen Campbell. This guy is a down to earth musician who shows an enormous amount of gratitude when a mug of hot water is brought to him, and acknowledges everyone in the room before the interview begins. Despite a nagging cold and a sore throat that makes his deep voice sound huskier than usual, this brilliant and talented singer- songwriter is eager to play and talk about his new album, The Pilgrim, and upcoming national promotional tour. He never lets go of his great companion in this journey, his guitar of course. Owner of a distinctive sound, a mesh of blues, roots, soul and country, spiced up with Indian and Mongolian influence, Campbell’s new album is scheduled for release on June 7, and “The Pilgrim Tour” will kick off on May 24, in Wagga Wagga, NSW. Tickets to Owen Campbell’s “The Pilgrim Tour” are now on sale. For ticketing information and tour updates, go to www.owencampbell.com.au.
