Frontier Touring are excited to confirm 35x time ARIA nominees and 11x time ARIA Award-winning alt-rock trio Eskimo Joe kick off their 6-date national Black Fingernails Red Wine In The City 2022 tour this month! To celebrate, the band release a rockin’ 2022 version of their 1998 breakout single ‘Sweater’.
“We haven’t played Sweater since 2002 at Fowlers Live Adelaide, but since that day not a single show has gone by where someone hasn’t yelled out ‘play Sweater’. It has become almost sacred to the OG Eskies fans, so for all of you who’ve been waiting for this moment please enjoy this 2022 version of Sweater we’ve put together. And for those coming along to join us on our national Black Fingernails Red Wine In The City tour in a few weeks’ time if you are lucky we might be playing this one in our encore” – Kav Temperley
Joining the trio is Aussie rock legend for both her solo career, and as frontwoman for the multi-ARIA Award nominated band Magic Dirt, Adalita. “I am so excited to finally be hitting the road in support of Eskimo Joe on their ‘Black Fingernails Red Wine In The City’ tour. It’s going to be huge and I can’t wait!!”– Adalita
