Ron Pope

Frontier Touring are excited to welcome back multi-talented singer-songwriter and gifted guitarist Ron Pope for his return Australian tour. This will also be the very first time Pope will be bringing his band to Australia to accompany him.

Pope burst into the scene in 2005 when he released hugely successful breakthrough single ‘A Drop In The Ocean’, which has since had over 30 million views on Youtube and 25 million streams on Spotify.

Ten independently released albums and countless singles later with over 50 million views online and over 36 million streams on Spotify, the 30 year old shows no sign of slowing down.

Pope’s music has gained worldwide acclaim, featured on shows such as ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ‘90210’, as well as having ‘A Drop In The Ocean’ released as a single by Javier Colon from the first season of The Voice.

His latest offering Calling Off The Dogs (out now through Pope’s very own Brooklyn Basement Records) sees Pope further extending his talents and coming up with new, fresh sounds. His new album made him an artist to watch at SXSW this year, with many people eager to not only witness his astounding vocals, but also his capabilities as a writer, composer and producer. This time round, in support of his latest album, Pope will be bringing with him a full live band!

The first single of the album, ‘Lick My Wounds’ (listen here) perfectly sets the foundation for the theme for the rest of the album. The contagiously upbeat track with refreshing pop tendencies highlights Pope’s growth and desire to challenge the alt-country/folk pop roots that drove his success.
