HEAVENLY
SOUNDS is proud to
announce BETH ORTON’s first Australian tour since the release of her
acclaimed album ‘Sugaring Season’. Taking place in May, tickets for this brief
tour of churches and cathedrals are available through Ticketek, www.ticketek.com.au and are on sale on
March 4th except in Perth where tickets go on sale on Tuesday March

Beth Orton
is a BRIT Award-winner and two-time Mercury Prize nominee who is well-renowned
for her collaborations with other artists, as well as being regarded as a pioneer
of the folktronica movement. Her collaborations have seen her work with artists
such as Bert Jansch, Emmylou Harris, The Chemical Brothers, Beck, Jim O’Rourke,
and Ryan Adams among others.
Since its
release in September, Beth’s latest album ‘Sugaring Season’ has been embraced
by audiences and media around the world. After a six year hiatus from touring
and recording as she raised a family, Beth has stripped back her music to its
folk roots and delivered her comeback album, heralded as her ‘masterpiece’
(Mojo Magazine).
On this
very special HEAVENLY SOUNDS tour, presented in beautiful churches and
cathedrals around Australia, Beth will be performing songs from ‘Sugaring
Season’ in intimate duo mode, as well as tracks from her classic recordings
‘Trailer Park’, ‘Central Reservation’ and ‘Daybreaker’.
Expect
nothing short of a spellbinding evening of the most enchanting sounds from Beth
Orton as she tours for Heavenly Sounds in May.
What the
media are saying about Beth Orton’s new album ‘Sugaring Season’
“The bliss of
simplicity is the key to this remarkable album’s beauty” 4 stars – Rolling
Stone Australia
“Sugaring Season doesn’t take long to prove that a six
year absence has not dulled the talent of Beth Orton. There hasn’t been
anything this year quite as gently beautiful or completely captivating. Quite
lovely. “ 4 stars - Sydney Morning Herald
“The combination of her angelic, lilting voice and a
shimmering string section makes Sugaring Season a truly transcending
experience. Beth is back” 4 stars - Sunday Herald Sun
“If you like Claire Bowditch, Sarah Blasko, Julia
Stone or Jen Cloher, take a listen to Sugaring Season and discover the
songstress they all took their lead from. Welcome back Ms. Orton, we’ve missed
you” Album Of The Week – Drum Media Sydney
