Elvis Costello 2009 Australian Tour
Elvis Costello has followed his musical curiosity in a career spanning more than three decades. He is probably best known for his performances with The Attractions, The Imposters and his concert appearances with pianist Steve Nieve.

With a new album 'Secret, Profane and Sugarcane' just released, produced by T Bone Burnett, during a three-day session at Nashville's Sound Emporium Studio, comes the announcement that he will hit the road with an Australian tour in October this year. This very special tour will feature Elvis, his guitars, his songs and his stories!

Special guest support will be Shelley Harland who has just released her new album 'Red Leaf'.

Having collaborated with Burt Bacharach, Paul McCartney, The Brodsky Quartet, Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie Von Otter and record producer/songwriter T Bone Burnett to name just a few, it's little wonder Costello continues to inspire and delight music fans around the world.

Boasting a back catalogue of over 40 albums including 'This Years Model', 'Imperial Bedroom', 'King Of America', 'All This Useless Beauty', 'The Delivery Man', 'North and Secret', 'Profane and Sugarcane', his Australian concerts will feature songs covering his entire career.

Costello's songs have been recorded by a great number of artists - the list of performers reflects his interest in a wide range of musical styles: George Jones, Johnny Cash, Chet Baker, Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield, Loretta Lynne and No Doubt. He began a songwriting partnership with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall resulting in six songs included in her highly successful album 'The Girl In The Other Room'. Grammy Award winner, Elvis has been awarded ASCAP's prestigious Founder's Award, inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and nominated for an Oscar for the song 'The Scarlett Tide', co-written by T Bone Burnett, performed by Alison Krauss in the movie Cold Mountain.

As for now, this multi talented performer will present an incredible night of entertainment with songs from the present, past and future. A must-see for every music fan.
