Cold Chisel icon brings tour to Albany

Respected as one of Australia’s iconic musicians, founding mainstay guitarist and occasional singer of Cold Chisel, Ian Moss delivers an unforgettable sound that he will be bringing to Albany this September.

When Moss spoke with theAlbany Advertiser recently he was set to be playing in Albany this weekend on June 4, but due to tour date changes Moss will appear at the Albany Entertainment Centre on September 24 with his Six Strings Classics Tour.

Six Strings became an instant classic from one of Australia’s true rock legends and recorded at Sydney’s Sandringham Hotel with a Maton 808 acoustic guitar, three pick-ups, three microphones, and some of the greatest throat strings this country has ever heard, Cold Chisel greats, platinum solo singles, new songs and relics from Hendrix and Creedence were rendered with an impossibly warm timbre and bluesy lilt that are instantly recognisable, but with a thrilling sense of immediacy.

Moss’ distinctive vocal is the essential signature of his soulful, bluesy muse — as it has been since his first tentative foray into music during the early 1970s.

Moss will be performing all of the classic hits from that renowned “Six Strings” album as well as the big hitters from his “Let’s All Get Together” and “Soul on West 53rd” albums and the show will include all the Cold Chisel/Ian Moss classics, performed as only Moss can.

The Six Strings Classics Tour is a complete evening with Moss — a special two-hour performance that will be the perfect intimate setting for audiences to experience the powerfully resonating classic songs of Cold Chisel and Moss.

Moss told theAdvertiser his audiences can expect to see lots of acoustic versions of great songs and a nice bit of production to supplement the music with video footage and static photo but the show really hones in on his solo guitar performance.

“Doing these shows reminds me time and time again that it’s all about how you play,” he said.

“I’m amazed at how much colour and variation and emotion I’ve been able to get with just voice, guitar and a foot tapping on the floor. Less is more.”
