Harrison Craig – Kings of Vegas Tour starts NEXT WEEK & new children’s book announced!

By Tony Polese · On April 26, 2017




*** TOUR STARTS NEXT WEEK ***

Harrison Craig is geared up and ready to bring a smooth touch of Vegas to Australia as he kicks off his Kings of Vegas – The Lounge Sessions tour next week in Melbourne – a tour that will see him perform 32 dates across the country for much of this year.

The tour supports the release of his ‘Kings of Vegas’ album released in November last year and featuring ten tracks with its rock solid emphasis on rhythm, lavished with a blend of strings and brass is a stripped back version of swing that emphases the singer’s first-hand intimate experience of Old Vegas in all its 4am glory. An intoxicating cocktail of swing, glamour, cool and the thrill of anything goes!

The two-hour concert will showcase songs from the Kings Of Vegas album performing the hits from the likes of Mel Torme, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Frankie Valli, Elvis Presley, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr, Tom Jones, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Barry Manilow and The Righteous Brothers, among many more. Add the hits of the new Kings of Vegas – Elton John, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart and Michael Bublé – plus a string of Harrison’s own hits from his first two records and you’ve got a show that you definitely don’t want to miss.

The much loved platinum-selling performer says: “These guys created a style and turned it into a timeless genre, the way the songs were written, directed and orchestrated… Nothing was done in a small way. I came back from Vegas extremely inspired. I knew exactly what kind of record I wanted to make.”

Australia grew to love the, then, 19 year old singer through his appearance on The Voice in 2013 – a show that had him crowned the winner and Voice of Australia. It was no secret that Harrison struggled with a stutter in his younger years and throughout the program and the courage to battle through that was the inspiration behind his new children’s picture book to be released on June 1 titled ‘Harrisons Song’.

“When I was a kid, I was often bullied because of my stutter. That feeling when I first discovered I could sing without stuttering will never leave me.” He hopes the story inspires children to search for and use their own talents to overcome challenges they may face. “Being a kid is tough and overcoming challenges can be hard, but when you find what makes you special, you can do almost anything,” said Harrison.

Since his win on The Voice, Harrison has set records on the ARIA charts with his debut album ‘More Than A Dream’ achieving platinum status, whilst his second album ‘L.O.V.E’ remained in the top 10 charts for six consecutive weeks.

His unique tone and crooning style sets him apart in his genre and come 2017, fans will be excited to see Harrison bring these songs to life on stage for his Kings of Vegas: Lounge Sessions tour which will reach both capital cities and regional towns.

“I’m counting the moments down until I can be back out there with my Harrinators! Here we go. Vegas Baby!
