Following the Bootleg Melancholy Tour, DIESEL is set to head out around the country once again with his inimitable voice, a pallet of guitars and a double bass for DIESEL, BY REQUEST.A show where the audience plays an integral role in reaching every corner of Diesel’s 3+ decade catalogue of songs, forming the set list for the night - they decide on the song choices making for a night of music ‘requested’ by the audience.
How it works…
From a list of songs posted prior through Diesel’s socials, the audience make their song selections and provide a short comment. On the night, Diesel will then formulate his set list based on these requests, making each night a bespoke experience for both audience and performer.
Song choices to select from span from the first album Johnny Diesel & The Injectors (1989) all the way through to Bootleg Melancholy (2023) along with some eclectic cover picks from the artists that have shaped Diesel’s career.
“It’s always fascinating to me the songs that resonate with people and why. Ultimately, the process of writing and recording is a lonely experience, but it ends up being anything but that once a song is released into the world. These shows give me a chance to connect directly to that “cause and affect”, I love hearing a listener’s anecdotal account of how a song has impacted their journey” - DIESEL
With a career spanning over 3 decades, 17 albums, 100+ million streams, 6 ARIA awards and 2,000+ live shows, Diesel knows how to “bring it” to a room, and BY REQUEST is the ultimate opportunity for him to celebrate with his audience, the hours, minutes and miles that have made an enduring artist, and the soundtrack to so many of our lives.
