Kevin Mitchell plays Jebediah/Bob Evans anthology concert tour
Individually, they’re two of the most beloved musicians to have ever graced the Australian music scene, but together... well, there’s a first time for everything! Now, Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell will be making Australian music history by announcing a national anthology concert tour, When Kev Met Bob, which sees him teaming up with his own Bob Evans alter ego for nine special shows around the country.
A veritable time machine of classic compositions and crowd favourites, When Kev Met Bob will see Kev and his sharper-dressed mate, Bob Evans, combining their myriad talents for an evening of music which encompasses almost 30 years.
While Kev plucks from the storied Jebediah discography of the ‘90s until the present day, Bob will keep things a little more contemporary, offering up songs from his six-album catalogue from the last 20 years. Throughout it all though, a shared thread will keep it together, as never-before-told stories behind the songs turn the affair into an evening to remember. As Kev explains, the upcoming tour is a true first for him, with his near-30 years spent as the frontman of Jebediah having been kept separate from his work as Bob Evans, ever since the latter first appeared on the scene in the late ‘90s.
For diehard fans of both acts, the upcoming shows will be a celebration of what makes these two artists so special and revered by music fans across the country. Over the course of two sets, Kev will focus on a lifetime of musical brilliance: Beginning with a set full of classic material from the ‘90s and ‘00s, the chronological celebration will move onwards to the Bob Evans years, showcasing everything that came after. Of course, those looking for a unique experience need look no further, with a bunch of Jebediah rarities that are often absent from the band’s live shows also set to get a look-in. “I think the people who appreciate a few deep cuts will hopefully be happy,” notes Kev.
With decades of musical experience in Kev’s corner (and almost just as much in Bob’s), the upcoming When Kev Met Bob tour is bound to be a masterful celebration of one of the country’s finest songwriters and performers in a truly unique format. For Kev though, it’s another opportunity to do what he’s consistently loved doing for almost 30 years.
