KONZERT // STU LARSEN

Travelling troubadour Stu Larsen has announced an assortment of live dates across
Europe this autumn, along with the release of new single ‘San Francisco’ on
November 21st."San Francisco" is taken from Stu’s stunning debut album
"Vagabond", out now on ADA. The track is the oldest on the album, penned by Stu on
whimsical drive from L.A. to San Francisco. Stu’s best friend and album producer,
Passenger, said of the track, “I remember hearing it for the first time and feeling like
I’d heard it a million times before. Straight away it had an incredibly classic feel
and, even after hearing it night after night, I still absolutely love it.” The oldest song
on Vagabond is "San Francisco", the opening track, which was written on that first
trip Stu took out of Australia and the Far East. A three month journey was due to
end in L.A., but on landing in the city, Stu picked up a car and drove up the coast to
San Francisco. That drive is beautifully captured in the song in which Stu, with his
“too tight jeans and too long hair” and Paul Simon on the radio, ponders finding love
on his arrival.“ It was actually written in L.A., where I drove back to before flying
home,” recalls Stu. “I’d been recording with a friend when it came to me. I sat on the
studio floor and wrote it within a few minutes. This May, while touring the States, I
went back and recreated the trip for a video in a 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88.” No
stranger to the road, Stu left his native Queensland, Australia four years ago to play
music round the world. His journey took him all over Australia, New Zealand,
Japan, North America, Europe and the UK as he perfected his lyrical storytelling
making friends, and fans, along the way.
