With the overwhelming success of GRINSPOON's GUIDE TO BETTER LIVING 20th AnniversaryTour (Australia from June - Sept 2017) Phil will be available (for solo & his band shows) that are private or corporate events only prior to Oct 2017.

Phil Jamieson, Grinspoon’s enigmatic front man brings his acute lyrical observations and self depricating sense of humour to a series of solo acoustic shows at the end of 2013.

Songs performed will predominantly be Phil’s solo versions of Grinners classic tunes that he penned or co-written , his own solo works old and new, plus a few ring- in tunes arranged in true ‘Jamo’ style- just for the fun of it.
