Massive night at Lizotte’s on Thursday night. Finishing off a big week in Newcastle for Morgan Evans with three CMC awards last Friday. A killer set at CMC Rocks the Hunter on Saturday night and a sold out Lizotte’s show for his debut album launch.
Talented Brother and sister Duo Kaylens Rain kicked things off with a fantastic set. The harmonies between these two are just beautiful; they have a fantastic new album ‘Found’ out as well available on iTunes and online at www.kaylensrain.com.
Morgan hit the stage next with a power house set and a talented and tight band to back him up, Brother Tom ‘Bass / Mandolin’, Nick Woodford ‘Keys and Acoustic Guitar’, Dan Baldwin ‘Drums’ and Mark Hoppe on Lead Guitar.
The night was full of highlights with Morgan playing most of the songs from his new self-titled album,as well as ‘Big Skies’ with local legend Mark Wells and one of my favourites ‘While We’re Young’.
All up a top night with one of Australia’s top young country artists, who I reckon is ready to take on the world.
If you’re in Sydney tonight you can catch Morgan and his band at Sydney’s home of country music Rooty Hill RSL, for further tour dates go to www.morganevans.com.au
