Ben David – one half of The Hard Aches – is preparing to release a new solo album in 2020.
Earlier today (December 19), David announced on social media that he’s touring Australia, The Music notes, in support of an upcoming solo album titled ‘Somewhere In The Universe’.
“I’ve been locked away on the side of a mountain in the Adelaide hills over the last year working hard self-recording and producing a brand-new album,” he wrote. “I can’t wait to show you all these new songs.”
David also added that he’ll share the album’s “first taste” on New Year’s Day. See his full Instagram post below.
The singer will then embark on a four-date Australian tour in February, which kicks off at The Vanguard in Sydney. See the full list of dates below.
