There is a gritty, unvarnished sincerity in Larry Fleet’s voice that feels less like a performance and more like a conversation over a back porch. The Tennessee native has spent years honing a sound that bridges the gap between traditional country storytelling and the deep, resonant grooves of Southern soul.
Following the massive success of his latest record, 'Another Year Older', Fleet has confirmed he is heading back to Australia this August for a string of headline dates and a highly anticipated appearance at the Gympie Music Muster. This return follows a debut trip last year that clearly left a lasting impression on the songwriter.
Reflecting on that initial connection with local audiences, Fleet noted: “On my first trip to Australia last year, I honestly didn’t know what to expect or how everyone would react to my music, but before I was even off the stage I was already planning on coming back as soon as I could. The Australian people made me feel at home with how engaged and a part of the show they were. Singing every lyric, it’s almost like they did their homework to not only make sure that they had a good time, but that we did as well. And if there’s one thing I learned it’s that Australian’s know how to have a damn good time.”
The enthusiasm is mutual. Fleet’s reputation as a formidable live act has grown alongside his staggering streaming figures, which now exceed 800 million. While he is widely respected for his pen—having co-written the chart-topping hit ‘Man Made A Bar’ for Morgan Wallen and Eric Church—it is his own material that truly showcases his range.
'Another Year Older' is a collection that trades in the currency of real life, moving from the nostalgic ache of ‘Baseball on the Radio’ to the heavy, honest reflections found in ‘Hotel Bible’. The record isn’t just about the passage of time; it is about the wisdom gathered along the way, delivered with a vocal clarity that puts him in a league of his own.
August will see him bring these stories to life in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, offering fans a chance to witness one of the most compelling voices in the genre today. To keep up with the latest tour updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses from the road, make sure to give Larry a follow on Facebook, Instagram, and X, or head to his website.
