Richie W**d, the unmistakable voice of Tumbleweed, delivers a rare solo show at the Tav with very special guest Darren Middleton. Richie steps into bold new territory with his debut solo album Strays (2024). Recorded live-to-tape, the album captures raw honesty and spirit, marking a powerful new chapter in his career.
Currently touring nationally with Jeff Martin (The Tea Party) and ARIA Award–winner Shane Nicholson in a sold-out celebration of Neil Young’s music, Richie is also collaborating with Zia McCabe (The Dandy Warhols) and Ricky Maymi (Brian Jonestown Massacre) on an upcoming project, Arktik Lake.
On tour now, Richie W**d brings his songs, stories, and spirit to the Shiraz Republic stage—an intimate and electrifying journey from one of Australia’s most enduring and inventive voices.
Darren Middleton, guitarist/songwriter with Powderfinger and esteemed solo artist since 2011, has been trying to catch-up with Richie for years…seems the only way is to play a show together! Darren makes time between studio recording to bring his exceptional solo artistry to the Tav.
The Merri Creek Tavern is a standing-room only venue, seating can be provided for people with a disability.
