Dave Gleeson is officially a member of The Fabulous Caprettos, and this summer, he’s going on tour alongside his new bandmates Jack Jones, Russell Morris and Thirsty Merc’s Rai Thistlethwayte.
Making the announcement on social media, Gleeson wrote yesterday (19 June), “A couple of very special shows coming up in January in NSW, Qld, Vic, SA and WA with these giants of the Australian Music Industry. Can’t wait to perform with, and – more importantly – hang out with these guys”.
The Australian rock and roll supergroup will perform the hits, such as The Screaming Jets’ Better, Russell Morris’ spirit of the 60s anthem The Real Thing, Southern Sons’ Hold Me in Your Arms, Thirsty Merc’s In The Summertime, and many more. You can find the tour dates below.
In a statement, he added, “To the fans, my heartfelt thanks for accepting me into the fold over the last dozen or so years. With The Screaming Jets on the eve of a new album release and my national Triple M commitments, it’s time to move on. John, Rick, Sam and Nick will always hold a special place in my rock ’n’ roll journey. Rock on and see youse on the road.”
