To coincide with the release of his new book Working Class Boy, rock icon Jimmy Barnes is touring his first ever ‘spoken word’ event where he will tell his life story, for a moment, leaving behind the arenas and rock gigs where he’s blazed a trail for decades. Jimmy will be bringing his spoken word evening to the Tanks Arts Centre on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th of March.

This unique live event will see Jimmy sharing stories from his troubled childhood and delinquent adolescence.

It will also see him delivering intimate musical performances of some key songs drawn from his earliest years.

This tour promises to add a new experience for fans who will witness powerful storytelling providing a raw insight into the events that shaped Jimmy’s life and his music.

“Just like the book, this live show will tell the story of an imperfect childhood that has led to me becoming an imperfect adult”, explains Jimmy.

“I spent most of my life running from my childhood and now it seems like my time to face it. So this is the story of a lifetime spent running away. Running from fear. Running from shame but at the same time running from hope. I’m not running anymore.”
