Multiple Aria, Amp and J Award nominee Dan Kelly is coming back to the Northern Rivers on Saturday December 14 to launch his fifth long player GOLDFEELS at the Eltham Hotel. Dan will be bringing his super excellent band Regional Crisis, featuring Dan Luscombe (Drones, Courtney Barnett), Gus Agars (Marlon Williams, Dark Horses, Tex, Don and Charlie) and Ben Woolley (Marlon Williams).

A dark, sprawling yet compact epic, combining adventurous piano boogie, widescreen electric guitar happenings, traditional Irish instruments and Dan’s patented macro/micro lyrical adventures, GOLDFEELS  will be played in full (it’s only 40 minutes!), followed by a bunch of tunes from Dan’s wildly eclectic and eminently catchy back catalogue.

A frequent visitor to this part of the world, Dan has been up lately playing the Lismore Flood Benefit with Paul Kelly, plus shows accompanying Martin Frawley (Twerps) and Jess Ribeiro on guitar and piano. He’s very keen to revisit the beautiful rooms atop the Eltham, and to hug Murray Patterson again.

“The mighty Dan Kelly’s magical 5th album, GOLDFEELS is yet another gargantuan lesson in artful yet instantly appealing album making. Kelly covers new ground on this largely piano-based offering (with distant echoes of Randy Newman and John Cale), telling musical stories about sex, death, grief, and bushfires - what more could you ask for?”
