Newton Faulkner, who’s debut track “Dream Catch Me” has become the most played song on Australia radio, will perform at Capitol in Perth on Wednesday 3 September 2008.

A relative unknown in Australia just 3 months ago, talk of the dread-locked songman was rife following his stand out performances at the 19th Annual East Coast Blues and Roots Festival in Byron Bay last March.
Newton Faulkner is not your ordinary singer songwriter – as he sings, his old-soul voice dips from a gently enchanting croon to a commanding roar full of yearning and intensity. His playing surpasses sensitive strumming, using his guitar as a hybrid instrument combining fret board pyrotechnics, unusual picking techniques, altered tunings and a mesmerising percussive use of the guitar’s body.

Support by Old Man River.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday 5th June, from Moshtix and BOCS.
