Shayne P Carter Announces 'Offsider' Album Release Tour

In anticipation of releasing his new album, Shayne P Carter has announced four shows around the country for August. Titled Offsider, the forthcoming record sees Carter put down his guitar in favour of stepping to a piano - an instrument he claims to have never played before in his life, but judging from lead single 'We Will Rise Again' the record will be a lush, textural journey and one we are looking forward to. More details on the album release are to come, but in the meantime here is the tour information...

PRESS RELEASE:

Shayne P Carter and Band on Tour in NZ August 2016
Shayne is about to release a long-awaited new album of piano based songs called Offsider.

Shayne comments:
My band still includes two of my longtime Dimmer cohorts - trusted lieutenant Gary Sullivan on drums and guitarist James Duncan who's moved over to bass in our new three piece format. On The Offsider: I like the title cos it seems to suggest being out of step or out of kilter with the times which it probably is. I decided to write the songs on piano - despite having never played the instrument before in my life - because I liked the idea of naivety and discovery and having a new angle on songwriting after so many years doing it.
