He describes himself as part man, part wheel and after more than 10 years touring the world Delaney Davidson is back in New Zealand, playing in Rotorua later this month.
The part man, part wheel reference comes from his semi-homeless lifestyle which has seen him visit Ireland, Germany, Italy, Brazil,
Britain, Switzerland, Mexico, Austria, Romania, Belgium, the Netherlands, Russia, France, United States, Argentina and Australia on a decade-long solo tour of the world.
Originally from Christchurch, Davidson will be playing his original brand of alternative country blues on the Lakeland Queen with support from German duo Los Hermanos who describe themselves as a "sharp dressed two man band from Munich with two guitars, two suits, a kick, a bucket and a megaphono".
The gig, called Fear and Loathing in Rotovegas will be held on Rotorua's Lakeland Queen on Friday, January 25.
Davidson won the APRA Best Country Song for 2012 with his ballad You're A Loser from his 2011 album Bad Luck Man. The album was given five stars by London's The Independent and four stars by the New Zealand Herald in reviews.
