Multi-platinum singer / songwriter Damien Leith will take his forthcoming album Chapter Seven on the road with a national Australian Tour beginning in Perth on Thursday 31st October. The show will be an intimate acoustic setting and will feature all his new songs as well as some of the songs he’s well-known for. Audiences will be treated to beautifully crafted songs, some he even wrote with legendary Joe Melson who wrote Roy Orbison’s Crying and Only the Lonely.

“I’m really looking forward to taking these songs on the road and getting out to places I haven’t been to in a while,” said Damien.

The “Without A Fight” Tour will travel to Australian capital cities and regional centres, including Perth, Joondalup, Mandurah, Gold Coast, Redcliffe, Brisbane, Mudgee, Katoomba, Cronulla, Wollongong, Launceston, Hobart, Canberra, Melbourne, Nowra, Taree, Port Macquarie and Sydney.

Chapter Seven is Damien’s seventh album since 2006. The acoustic pop and folk release represents an exciting new direction for the Irish-born Australian. Two years in the making, the album will be Damien’s first as a producer and first with independent Sydney-based label Social Family Records. Damien penned 12 new original tracks for the album, which he recorded in Sydney in a studio he built himself.

Famed producer and sound engineer David Nicholas – who has worked with luminaries from Elton John to INXS – mixed Chapter Seven and co-produced some of the tracks. Other great hit makers such as Gary Clark (Natalie Imbruglia, The Wanted, The Veronicas) and Jon Vella (Meatloaf, Ricky Martin) have added their touch to the album along with legendary Nashville-based songwriter Joe Melson. Famed for penning a string of rhythm and blues hits with the one and only Roy Orbison, including Only The Lonely and Crying, Joe Melson has been writing with Damien for some time now and Joe has become a close friend and mentor to Damien.

Deb was there and I'm sure there will be a report soon when she is home from work. I know she was trying to do one before she left for the Mandurah concert but her Dad arrived early at her place.

SORRRYYYY!!!!
only 22 DAYS LATE ON THIS ONE!!!!
Same venue he did when Di was here in May, only half the crowd but a very singalong group.
He said last nights show was short because the Jazz club had a late night act to come on, but I think 14-15 songs is about the limit for this round of tours.
"Any reqests?" says Damien, "Danny Boy" says the crowd!!!!!!!!! Please people, I know he's Irish but get over it, there are so many more to choose from
One thing that did stand out for me is that N & T is the new forgotten album! Play C7 and then go for Roy, coz everyone loved that but don't play any of that other stuff that you wrote yourself and you feel like people won't appreciate! Grrr, I guess for us there is so much good stuff now and if he is only gunna play 15 songs, we will be forever lamenting what he didn't play, while of course appreciating everything he does play!
D, didn't come out after tonight's show. He prob thought I would be the only one who would want to talk to him and he talked to me last night and would see me the next night so I talked to Andy and Eric instead.
Took along two Damien virgins who loved it and my girlfriend who I think has been to 4 shows now and said musically this was her favourite!
