This September, Newton Faulkner shows just got hairier with curly-mopped Sydney based musician Old Man River confirmed to support the ginger-dread man on his national tour in five shows across Australia.

Old Man River have left you a message about writing and recording their new album, their upcoming tour dates in Japan and Israel, and gives you the update on touring with Clare Bowditch. Read it here!

Old Man River's song 'La' has forged its way to success at home and abroad in Japan and Italy and now it's up for a 2008 APRA for Best Blues And Roots Work for 2008! Congratulations Old Man River!

Old Man River hits the road this coming June/July in support of Australian singer/songwriter, Claire Bowditch on her solo 'Winter Secrets Tour'. Following that, they'll head back to the studio to record their sophomore album.

Off the back of Japan's incredible airplay success of 'La', this week Ohad is in Japan to promote his album 'Good Morning'. Playing at the Harajuku Astro Hall in Shibuya, there was a great reaction from the public and industry crowd, culminating in a rousing response to 'La' with audience members on stage singing along. The set even included a cover - a unique acoustic version of Rihanna's 'Umbrella'.

On Monday, February 4 tune in to see Old Man River perform his new single 'Sunshine' on Sunrise! He'll be on stage with his band at 8.40am so tune in to Channel Seven to catch all the action from the act who is taking Italy and Japan by storm!

Following on from Old Man River's European chart success, their debut single 'La' last week topped the Japanese Radio Airplay chart, making Old Man River the most played non-Japanese artist in the land of the rising sun.
