“I am sitting on my front porch in Nashville, Tennessee and smiling. I have been stuck in my house for 9 days because of the snow. But I have been in a great mood as I know I’m going back to Australia!” Isaak said in a statement. 

“I think it’s my favourite place to tour … or just hang out. I’m so ready! Bring on the sun! Bring on the beach! I think I’m gonna wax my guitar …. I told you I was excited!”

He will also play five concerts as part of the A Day On The Green outdoor music festival happening across Australia in April.

Isaak will play at the festival on April 6 at Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong, Victoria, April 7 at Peter Lehmann Wines in Tanunda, South Australia, and April 13 at Bimbadgen in Pokolbin, New South Wales.
