DEWAYNE Everettsmith's 2014 release, the beautiful and captivating Surrender, provided an insight into a gifted young singer and songwriter.

The album, equal parts uplifting and haunting, took the listener on a journey through Everettsmith's life.

It featured It's Like Love, a song that Tourism Australia adopted for a major international television campaign in 2012, providing the backdrop to what has been regarded as one of the most visually arresting television commercials in recent times.

Some 12 months later, Everettsmith is preparing to take the songs from Surrender, along with a selection of newly minted tracks, on a journey across Australia on the Beyond Surrender national tour.

From Warragul to Alice Springs, Bunbury to Mackay and Newcastle he will take in the vast expanses of regional Australia, sharing his songs with live music enthusiasts in all corners of the country.

Joining Everettsmith on the road is Sietta, a duo comprising of vocalist Caiti Baker and producer/instrumentalist James Mangohig.

Theirs is a union traditionally of soul, blues, hip-hop and electronica; but when the opportunity presents, Baker and Mangohig strip their songs back to rhythm and blues guitar and vocals.

This combination, bringing together two of Australia's most exciting musical acts, is shaping up to be an event not to be missed.

Catch Dewayne Everettsmith's Beyond Surrender national tour when it rolls into Newcastle City Hall on June 24 at 8pm.
