Tim Freedman (The Whitlams) plays Brisbane Powerhouse on 15 December, 2020.
With a new Whitlams' song to promote (the six-minute single 'Ballad Of Bertie Kidd'), Australian troubadour Tim Freedman is currently on the road for one of his rare solo tours.
Onstage, Tim will settle in with his piano to tell tales, reinvent classics like 'Blow Up The Pokies' and 'No Aphrodisiac', and play some tracks from The Whitlams' forthcoming album due for release in 2021.
'Ballad Of Bertie Kidd' is a crime caper that describes a little known escapade in the long career of one of Australia's most notorious criminals.
"I've got a little mini-set, a set within a set, of all the criminals, a bit of true crime for 20 minutes within a solo set," Tim says.
"[As a nation] we've always viewed our outlaws quite fondly. We've given them a bit more humanity than they've given to others.
"Because we like the underdog, we tend to realise that a lot of these guys became criminals because they were maltreated as children or they came from the Boys Homes where they were raped and abused. When you look a bit deeper, it was society that created them."
