Love Police are thrilled to announce the return of two of Nashville’s most beloved country storytellers —JONNY FRITZ and JOSHUA HEDLEY— and have the pleasure to introduce music lovers to the talents of CHRIS ACKER for a run of special Australian shows in January 2026.
It’s been a few years between drinks, but the wait is over. Fritz and Hedley are heading back in Oz to share new songs, old favourites, and plenty of good times, performing music from their brand-new albums alongside the country gold that’s earned them fans from Austin to Adelaide.
Jonny Fritz remains country music’s most charming outsider. Once known as Jonny Corndawg, Fritz has carved his own path as a songwriter of rare wit and warmth, blending humour and heartbreak in a way only he can. His latest songs on new album Debbie Downers (released October 2025), are full of crooked truths and plainspoken poetry, continue his legacy as one of Nashville’s great eccentrics — and a live performer like no other.
Joshua Hedley — the rhinestone-clad “Mayor of Lower Broadway” — first stole hearts with his stunning debut Mr. Jukebox (Third Man Records), followed by the sharp and swaggering Neon Blue. His new album All Heart continues to dig deep into the heart of classic country, all velvet tones, weeping pedal steel and honky tonk melancholy delivered with that unmistakable Hedley polish.
Rounding out the bill is Louisiana-born, Seattle-based Chris Acker, whose rambling, narrative-driven songs echo the spirit of Townes Van Zandt and John Prine while carving out a voice all his own. His presence on this introductory tour is the perfect complement to two artists who prize honesty, humour and heart above all.
Together, the trio promise an unforgettable evening of songs and stories, performed by three of Americana’s most authentic voices. Expect heartbreakers and two-steppers, banter and brilliance — a triple threat tour of the summer featuring three starts for 5 star night out that will remind you exactly why you fell in love with country music in the first place.
