Skyscraper Stan, supported by Mon Coeur, January 20 @ Bridge Hotel, Castlemaine
Skyscraper Stan Woodhouse lopes around the stage, delivering characters and narratives in a powerful baritone. On this occasion, he will entertain solo, acoustic and relaxed.
For years, Skyscraper Stan has been a staple of the Australian Americana circuit. Originally classing himself as a country musician, his earlier influences included pre-war blues, the Laurel Canyon songwriters, Nick Cave and Sam Cooke. Since arriving in Australia from New Zealand in 2009, The Drones, Peep Tempel and Paul Kelly and others have been added to the list.
His regional tours have taken him to every state and territory in Australia, from Katherine to Hobart. He has shared bills with artists such as Marlon Williams, The Troggs, The Animals, The Church and CW Stoneking and has appeared at major festivals around Australia.
