TEG Live and AEG Presents today announced US country star Drake White and his band The Big Fire will play three special headline shows at Tamworth Town Hall on September 26, Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul on October 1 and the Forum Theatre Melbourne on October 2.
White’s revered whisky-soaked vocals and electrifying band The Big Fire will wow audiences with his incredible live show and soulful voice.
Joining Drake White & The Big Fire for these three shows will be special guests Eric Paslay, Lacy Cavalier and Reverie Lane performing together in a C2C Songwriter Round.
The C2C Songwriter Round will bring together Paslay, Cavalier & Reverie Lane in a very special, intimate round of performances where these remarkable artists will share the stories behind their songs and perform them as originally written.
Songwriter Rounds are a uniquely Nashville experience and C2C is thrilled to be able to bring this experience to fans here in Australia.
Tickets will go on sale at 12.00pm AEST, Thursday 25 July from Ticketmaster for Melbourne and Thirroul and from TamworthTownHall.com.au for the Tamworth show.
Drake White & The Big Fire, Eric Paslay, Lacy Cavalier and Reverie Lane will also be on stage at the inaugural Country2Country (C2C) Australia country music festival, playing at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday 28 September and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Sunday 29 September.
This year’s tour will be the second visit to Australia for Drake White & The Big Fire: “I fell in love with Australia when I was there in 2016. I am so stoked to be getting back and seeing all the fans and friends that I met back then. We are going to have a great time playing some great country music,” said Drake White.
Born and raised in Alabama, singer/songwriter Drake White‘s music is known for its mix of country, blues, funk, rock & roll, and reggae. Immediately shooting to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Country Albums chart upon release, White’s debut album ‘SPARK’ has earned praise both commercially and across his loyal following.
The undeniable sound of his soulful voice has whipped concert audiences into a frenzy as Drake and his band, The Big Fire, raise the roof and summon spirits to life onstage.
It’s equal parts Baptist tent revival and amped-up southern rock festival. White, along with his band The Big Fire, have toured with superstars including Willie Nelson, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, Zac Brown Band, Eric Church and Toby Keith.
Texas born Eric Paslay is a platinum-selling, hit songwriter and dynamic performer. Paslay has co-written five No. 1 hits including “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” (Eli Young Band), “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” (Jake Owen), “Angel Eyes” (Love & Theft), “Rewind” (Rascal Flatts) and his own smash hit single, “Friday Night,” from his critically acclaimed self-titled debut album.
Eric Paslay is one of the most exciting, dynamic artists in country music and Australian fans will get to experience it live when he hits the stage in September!
Up and comer Lacy Cavalier came to prominence on television before she switched her allegiance to her first love – music. The Louisiana native caught the attention of Chase Rice who took her on tour as his opening act on his 2016 US tour. Her current single is Blue Suede Couch.

Nashville duo Reverie Lane will make their first Australian debut at C2C. Coming together in 2014, singer-songwriters Spencer Bartoletti and Presley Tucker have achieved some impressive milestones which many musicians can only dream of, including performing on stage at The Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium alongside Presley’s mother, country music icon and legend, Tanya Tucker.
