Solo & Select Series II | May-Jun 2013

solo select 2013

Following his extensive HITS & BLUES TOUR, diesel is stripping back into solo mode and heading around parts of the country to tour Solo & Select Series II.

A show where the audience plays the main part in forming the set list for the night - they decide on the song choices forming a ‘tailored set’.

How it works…
From a list received on entry, the audience make their song selection.  The set list for the evening then gets formulated based on these choices.

Song choices will span from the first album “Johnny Diesel & The Injectors” (1989) through to “Under The Influence” (2011), along with new titles from his forthcoming album due for release 2013, and picks from some of Diesel’s favourite artists - Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix & Otis Redding to name just a few…

The idea of letting the audience ‘hand pick’ the songs makes for a spontaneous night of select music.

With a career spanning over 2 decades, twelve albums and a swag of ARIA awards, Diesel is ‘tailor made’ for such a night.

Hits & Blues Round II | Aug-Nov 2012

hits & blues round II

In the tradition of “Hits & Blues”, DIESEL hits the road again to showcase his roots, this time “matching up” to the music of MUDDY WATERS, an artist who has influenced from the cradle (hearing “Hoochie Coochie Man” coming off his Father’s record collection) right to this present day.

As well as a “blues infused” set of some of his MOST REQUESTED HITS spanning 13 ALBUMS so far, DIESEL will “spar” with some of his favourite MUDDY WATERS cuts, “Mannish Boy”, Champagne & Reefer” to name a few, adding his own spin on the catalogue of one of the most influential blues artists of all time.

HITS & BLUES ROUND II makes for an “all in brawl” of blues inspired hits as well as showcasing the K.O. punch of what and still is the music of MUDDY WATERS.
