The tour coincides with the release of Joyner's newest album, Coyote Butterfly, out Nov 22nd, via Melbourne’s Homeless Records, as well as a reissue of his third album, 1994's The Cowardly Traveller Pays His Toll, in late November. The Cowardly Traveller was famously one of three records played in their entirety on John Peel’s legendary BBC1 show, alongside records by Bob Dylan and Siouxsie & the Banshees."... the reigning heir to Henry Miller's dark emotional mirror, Townes Van Zandt's three-chord moan, and Lou Reed's warehouse minimalism: his name is Simon Joyner." — Gillian Welch"Joyner has been chipping away at the subtle absurdities of life since 1991, his rambling balladeering garnering comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt. He also shares a wry approach to self-reflection with modern practitioners like Mark Kozalek, Bill Callahan and David Berman." – MOJOSimon Joyner & The Eucalypts AUS/NZ 2025 Tour DatesFeb 22 - Hobart – MONAFeb 23 - Hobart - Altar Bar w/ Leah Senior, Ben SalterFeb 25 - Braidwood - National Theatre w/ Leah Senior, Michael BeachFeb 26 - Thirroul - Frank's Wild Years w/ Blue RidersFeb 27 - Sydney - Enmore HotelMar 1 - Lyttleton, Aotearoa - Port Noise FestivalMar 3 - Beechworth - Tanswell's Commercial HotelMar 5 - Castlemaine - Bridge Hotel w/ Leah SeniorMar 7 & 8 - Port Fairy - Port Fairy Folk FestivalMar 9 - Melbourne - Merri Creek Tavern (Afternoon show - solo)Mar 9 - Melbourne - Merri Creek Tavern (Evening show - full band) w/ TBA
