Ruby Gill Fishin’ Tour

<p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Ruby Gill and her band are taking their third record, <em>Fishing is not about fishing</em>, on the road across Australia this autumn, coming to a body of water near you to answer your most existential questions, make you laugh in a witty way and move you to real tears.</p><p>This &ldquo;remarkable achievement in songwriting and just as remarkable a performance&rdquo; (Stereogum) makes profound the realm of the normal, weaving a thread of Ruby&rsquo;s origin story and continual search for meaning across 11 songs &mdash; and you won&rsquo;t want to miss its extraordinary live performance by some of Australia&rsquo;s top musicians.</p><p>Three albums in, Ruby has completely nailed her very own genre of roguely spiritual, strangely catchy, rough novella hits. With unparalleled specificity and deadpan wit, she doesn&rsquo;t sound like any folk you know, but that makes her all the more enticing to a much-bigger-than-cult cult following.</p><p>Ruby&rsquo;s tender, strange and delightfully ungovernable &ldquo;lyrical wizardry&rdquo; is beloved by everyone from triple j and Double J to BBC and KCRW over the pond. She&rsquo;s sold-out tours in Australia, South Africa and the UK/EU, and been named by Rolling Stone, NME, CLASH, The Guardian and The Independent as some of Australia&rsquo;s best music, with two Australian Music Prize nominations to her name and Best Country Album at the recent Australian Independent Record Awards.</p>
