RYLEY WALKER AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES:
Ryley Walker is journeying back to Australia for a spell of intimate solo shows. Tickets on sale now!
The wildly talented Ryley Walker is one of modern Americana’s hardest working artists, known for his creativity, curious spirit and righteous guitar skills. With several fine, impressionistic solo albums to his name – most recently, the much-acclaimed Deafman Glance, co-produced with Wilco’s LeRoy Bach – Ryley has collaborated with fellow Chicago musicians such as Bill MacKay, Cooper Crain (Bitchin’ Bajas/Cave) and free-jazz drummer Charles Rumback.
Last seen opening for Joanna Newsom at Sydney Opera House and sharing the stage with Kurt Vile at Mistletone’s Summer Tones party in 2016, Ryley Walker draws deeply on distinctly American traditions with a masterly guitar playing that is as arresting as his freewheeling performance style.
Ryley’s Australian tour will come hot on the heels of a new collaborative album with Charles Rumback, their second release together as a duo after 2016’s Cannots. Little Common Twist compiles eight instrumental pieces and will be released November 8 on Thrill Jockey. Together, Ryley and Rumback – a pillar of the second wave of improvisers in a scene first shaped by the legendary players like Sun Ra and the AACM – find common ground in their kinetic, intuitive playing and yearning creative outlook.  Listen to “Half Joking” below.
