KEITH OPENS HIS “ESCAPE TOGETHER WORLD TOUR” DATES IN AUSTRALIA



Keith arrived at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne two nights ago after a two-month break from touring. He rehearsed with his band and then greeted nearly 50 members of the Australian media. He performed a few songs from his “Escape Together World Tour” for them and then answered questions on a range of topics including his return to Australia, his four Grammy Award nominations, the tour and his plans for the holidays.



As one journalist put it, “I don’t know of any other artist that would do something like this for us, no less on the day of his first show here. It was incredibly gracious.” A few hours later, he hit the stage, before a sold-out crowd of nearly 12,000.



And Keith couldn’t be happier. “I’m most excited about being able to bring our whole show down here. We don’t usually have the time to do that, but this time we had about two months in between and it was enough time to put all of this equipment on boats and ship it over. It feels really good to do that because we’ve had this production since May of this year and we’ve done a lot of shows on this stage, so there’ll be a good familiar feeling being up here playing.”



Next up are Keith's two performances at Sydney’s Entertainment Center. For more tour information, head HERE now!
