When keyboard wunderkind Lachy Doley took a bow in front of thousands of people at the prestigious Montreal Jazz Festival last year it was the culmination of eight years of recording, relentless touring, personal sacrifice and good old-fashioned hard work.
The hard road to a solo career started when Lachy gave up his successful day job playing keys for the likes of Powderfinger and Jimmy Barnes, to instead haul his own 200kg 1957 Hammond organ in a small bread van across Australia – playing every town, every venue and every festival he could to begin running down his dream. At that moment in Montreal, the long journey felt like it had paid off.
Since the bread van days, Lachy has delivered his power trio soul at many landmark festivals in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Switzerland, Estonia, Germany, Belgium and more, and cemented himself as one of the top Hammond players and ‘one to watch’ on the global Blues festival scene.
The Lachy Doley Group is proud to announce the release of new track ‘No Key Left Unbroken’ – a song inspired by the band’s desire to put on the best show imaginable and to ‘leave everything on the stage’ every time they play. The coinciding Australian tour revisits some of the great local venues that have helped shape and push the band to where they are, as well as some exciting new stops along the way.
‘No Key Left Unbroken’ was recorded at Jim Moginie’s (Midnight Oil) studio and is available from all online outlets from January 21.
Catch The Lachey Doley Group on tour from Feb 14th to April 4th. Tour dates and tickets available at lachydoley.com
