Popular Sydney, Indie folk rock outfit Boy and Bear played at Panthers (Newcastle) on Saturday night to a packed house of enthusiastic fans on the Newcastle leg of their Harlequin Dream tour.
The band has been touring extensively throughout 2013/14 and it shows. I have to say one of the best gigs I’ve been to this year; Boy and Bear’s live show is tight, polished and has a fantastic vibe, along with the very talented Patrick James opening set, setting the tone for what was a brilliant night. If you get the opportunity, go and see Boy and Bear live, go you won’t be disappointed.
Whilst this tour is coming to a close there are still a number of upcoming shows throughout Regional NSW and VIC before the band heads off to tour the USA and Europe in June. Remaining shows for the Harlequin Dream tour are at Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre – Nowra (22 May), ANU BAR – Canberra (23 May), Albury Entertainment Centre – Albury (24 May), Eastbank Centre – Shepparton (25 May), West Tamworth Leagues Club – Tamworth (28 May), Charles Sturt University – Bathurst (29 May), Orange Ex Services Club – Orange (30 May) and Dubbo RSL Club Resort – Dubbo (31 May).
The good news is Boy and Bear will be back home in Australia for their ‘Get Up And Dance National Theatre Tour’ kicking off in September, check out www.boyandbear.com for details.
