Phil JamiesonGrinspoon frontman and acclaimed singer-songwriter Phil Jamieson has big news for fans: the announcement of a new solo album and an accompanying expansive national tour.
Jamieson’s new solo album, 10Charlie, is set for release on Friday, 14 August. To commemorate the release, he’s unveiled the new single, Weekends, which you can check out below.
“Weekends. It’s a destination. It’s a place among the tall pines. It’s a restaurant / bar / coffee shop / diner. You can go to Weekends on a Monday. It’s a place to agree or disagree,” Jamieson explained in a statement. “The song is built around intimacy and hope. And it has some fun guitars.”
From Thursday, 11 June, to Saturday, 12 September, Jamieson will embark on one of his most ambitious solo tours to date with the massive 40-date PJ AIR national tour, playing in venues in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Tickets will be available on Jamieson's website from 9 am local time on Monday, 13 April. Check out the dates and venues below.

“PJ AIR is a BIG adventure,” Jamieson enthused. “My co-pilot is Ricky Albeck, and I can’t wait to play for you all. Songs will be sung, and stories will be told.”
10Charlie has been described as Jamieson’s most “personal and direct” album. Working with producer Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers) and securing collaborations with Davey Lane, Rob Muinos, Ben Edgar and Soph Ozard, the album turns from introspective to furious.
“This album is much more personal than my first record. In times of intense turbulence, I’ve written what I’ve needed to hear,” Jamieson said. “It’s a balm for my soul. 10Charlie is a boarding pass. You are not in the exit row; your luggage can be stored under the seat in front of you. Please follow all cabin crew directions and fasten your seat belt for take-off.”
