The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse Entertainment are pleased to announce Tom Jones will be touring in 2010 for a series of indoor and A Day On The Green winery concerts.
In his native Wales, he is known as "Jones the Voice". Today, he is one of the enduring personalities in the music entertainment business. His unique vocal power, ability and charismatic persona make him one of the most respected, admired and loved performers in modern popular music.
Tom has sustained his popularity for more than four decades. Born Thomas Jones Woodward in Pontypridd, South Wales, Great Britain on June 7, 1940, his father worked the coalmines of the Rhondda Valley, while his mother tended the house and the two children. After marrying at 17, Tom went on to sign with Decca Records in London.
Tom has a fundamental interest in a wide range of musical expression. Although he is best known for hits including Kiss, Delilah and If I Only Knew he is first and foremost a rocker with a true rhythm and blues soul. Tom was involved in Martin Scorsese’s Red White & Blues series; in 2000 he released the multi-million seller Reload, the most successful album of his career, and in 2004 an album of big band songs with Jools Holland in the UK.
His 40-year career has seen highlights including receiving a BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, a Silver Clef Award for Lifetime Achievement and appearing as himself in hit US comedy The Simpsons. Other film roles have included parts in Mars Attacks! and Agnes Brown.
Tom was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen in 2006 and enjoys a consistent touring schedule throughout the year. His latest musical offering, 24 Hours (Liberator December 4 2009), and was co-written by Tom himself – with many of the tracks being an insightful reflection of his life thus far. The album also includes “Sugar Daddy” which was specially penned for Tom by U2’s Bono, and a re-make of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Hitter”.
Tom Jones is renowned for the quality of his live performance.
“Few performers can keep up with Tom Jones. His sold out show….left little doubt that Jones is a man who knows how to live. Screaming females don’t dominate his audience nowadays….there seemed to be as many guys on hand looking to absorb a bit of his mojo” Boston Herald
“The audience—a mix of ages and seemingly spanning the spectrum from true believers to ironists—was eager to be taken for a ride, or maybe be just run over. And so we were. Wham, bam, thank you, sir!!’’ Vanity Fair
“Jones’ show is remarkable for its sheer relentlessness…42 years after his first Vegas gig at the Flamingo, he’s still got it. But this is not an oldies show [and] his voice is as powerful as ever, maybe more so. [He] gives the people what he knows they want—but on his time and his terms. When it’s all over, you leave knowing you’ve been in the still-vital presence of the real lion king.” Las Vegas Sun
Tom last visited Australia in 2005 for a joint tour with John Farnham, but this will be his first headline tour in 10 years.
Special guest support artist will be David Campbell. This multi-talented performer has featured on television programs, starred in musical theatre, devised his own cabaret shows in New York, recorded two Top 10 multi platinum albums and sold out concerts from coast to coast.
