The Corrs To Announce 2023 Australian Tour Dates This Week

A week after playing a One Night Only concert at the Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley, The Corrs are already planning a full-blown Australian tour.

The Breathless outfit posted the good news on social media last night. "It's official," the band noted with a celebratory emoji. "We're heading back DOWN UNDER to Australia & New Zealand and will be joined by special guests Natalie Imbruglia, Toni Childs, and Germein.

In a recent The Music cover story, Sharon Corr reminisced about the family band's success, their hits, Crowded House, and more. 

She has a unique partnership with the band's current keyboardist and record producer, Mitchell Froom. “I grew up loving Crowded House. They’re such authentic songwriters, and that’s the thing that I always gravitate towards because it feels like the truth. It is the truth,” she says. 

Corr is a Crowded House superfan. Songs like Into Temptation, Private Universe, Fall at Your Feet, Four Seasons in One Day, and Weather with You display a kind of songwriting she adores: when a man expresses his vulnerabilities and desires in an upbeat fashion.

“I remember being in Sydney long ago, and I would spend all day in my room between gigs listening to Crowded House,” she smiles. Woodface is a beautifully crafted album, a classic record that turns unusual corners and features strange influences. Corr had to know who produced it.

“I looked to see who the producer was, and it was Mitchell Froom. We were going to do MTV Unplugged, and our manager then asked, 'who would you like to be the producer?' and I instantly said, Mitchell Froom. Our manager went, 'well, let me see what I can do.' Mitchell was super curious about the family band dynamic and me because he had that with Tim and Neil Finn, which can be rocky territory, especially for a producer.” 

Froom went to Dublin and spent a long time with The Corrs rehearsing, rearranging, and reworking songs to create the MTV Unplugged concert. “And then, subsequently, I asked him to produce my second solo record. I did that in Los Angeles with him. He's very cool, understated, heartfelt, and goddamn brilliant. He is superb.”

The band's initial run established The Corrs as a beloved act in Australia, with albums Forgiven, Not Forgotten and In Blue reaching #1 on the ARIA charts, with Talk On Corners peaking at #3. Their singles Breathless, Runaway, Love To Love You and Forgiven, Not Forgotten, are among several songs to find favour with Australian audiences, performing well on the charts and receiving widespread radio play.
