Lance Birrell will take you on a country music journey.

The Port Pirie, South Australian-born singer-songwriter

just oozes integrity and has shared his considerable

musical gifts with others from a very young age.

Lance released his 4th studio album, Trailblazer and decided for 2023, he and his wife Mel would quit their jobs and hit the road playing live music everywhere they went.

The tour so far has taken them deep within Victoria and NSW with Queensland and Tasmania also scheduled on the tour.

Heading north for the winter, Lance has shows booked up the east coast of Australia as far up as North

Queensland before returning to outback NSW to country towns like Bourke and Cobar. It’s then down to

Albury before heading to the 2023 Mildura Wentworth Music Festival where Lance has been a crowd favourite for the past few years.

It’s then off to South Australia and Lance’s hometown of Port Pirie for the annual Port Pirie Country

Music Festival before heading to Warrnambool in Victoria.

“It’s a big move to sell your house, pack everything you possibly can into a caravan and car and

just hit the road”, Lance said. “It’s something Mel and I have talked about for a few years now but,

with Mel now surviving breast cancer, we don’t want to wait, we want to celebrate and live life”.

Lance who is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, can be seen on stage as a solo artist playing

guitar and singing or as part of a band line-up where he plays pedal steel, guitars, sings, backing

vocals, you name it, Lance Birrell will have a crack at it on stage.

Lance has an impressive collection of Franks Custom Guitars. Locally made here in Australia,

Greg Franks has designed and built four guitars for Lance and there’s always room in the caravan

for one more.
