US singer-songwriter Daniel Seavey is set to perform at Eatons Hill as part of his upcoming Australian headline tour supporting his debut solo album, “Second Wind.”
From Surprise Gigs to Centre Stage
Daniel Seavey, the multi-platinum US singer, songwriter, and producer, is returning to Australia for a headline tour in June 2025. Following a successful visit in late 2024—where he supported Dean Lewis across Australia and New Zealand—Mr Seavey will bring his Second Wind Tour to major cities, culminating with a performance at Eatons Hill Hotel in Brisbane on Sunday, 15 June.
His previous trip to Australia saw sold-out shows, surprise park performances, and pop-up events in record stores. Notably, Mr Seavey also made appearances at events like the Australian premiere of Wicked and even performed for Pesto the Penguin.
Second Wind: A Sonic Reboot
The tour supports Seavey’s debut solo album “Second Wind,” which features singles including “Gateway Drug”, “The Older You Get”, “Other People”, and “If I Ever Get to Heaven”. The album is the product of a collaborative effort with producer Michael Pollack, known for work with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, and reflects a diverse range of musical influences from early 2000s pop-rock.
Speaking about his work, Mr Seavey explained that the album represents a shift from the structured sound of his former band Why Don’t We, allowing space for personal experimentation and genre exploration. Many of the album’s tracks, including the more introspective ones, stemmed from Mr Seavey’s reflections on resilience, optimism, and personal growth.
Mr Seavey is also producing much of his music himself, often drawing inspiration from everyday sounds and events. This hands-on approach shapes his creative freedom and gives his work a uniquely personal feel.
Loops, Layers and Live Energy
Presented by TEG Live, the tour features special guests Jack Gray and Kylekelly. Mr Seavey’s setlist and live performance are expected to blend spontaneity with musical precision. With a custom-built loop setup, Mr Seavey plans to incorporate live instrumentation and interact closely with audiences—often stepping away from the stage to perform among fans.
Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel marks the final stop on a national tour that begins in Perth and moves through Adelaide, Melbourne (sold-out), and Sydney.
Why Australia Feels Like Home
Mr Seavey has openly shared his fondness for Australia, naming the country’s vibrant crowd energy, fresh fruit, and friendly airport staff as personal highlights. He noted that the enthusiastic participation from Australian audiences and their openness align with his outgoing nature, making live performances particularly memorable.
One Last Show in Eatons Hill
Mr Seavey’s upcoming Eatons Hill appearance not only wraps up his first Australian headline tour but also highlights his evolution as a solo artist. With a blend of upbeat and introspective tracks, the performance is set to reflect the multi-faceted nature of his debut album. Tickets for the Eatons Hill show are available now, with some venues already sold out across the tour.
