Sweet Talk

Melbourne’s Sweet Talk have just announced a huge US arena tour alongside Red Clay Strays as they kick off a bold new era with fresh music.

From airport chaos and busted van doors to tequila toasts and sold-out hometown shows, Sweet Talk’s wild run with the Red Clay Strays was equal parts mayhem, magic, and mateship. This tour diary is a backstage pass to one unforgettable week on the road.

If you don’t know their names yet, you will soon.

“It ain’t your average tune. It’s named after a real place, written half-sober at full-throttle,” say Sweet Talk.

Every week, ABC Country's ‘Grass Roots’ program shines a light on the best independently released Australian country content.
