James Reyne’s first hit was ‘Beautiful People’ with Australian Crawl in 1979. That gives him a 35 year legacy now.

With a catalogue of Crawl and solo hits, the James Reyne setlist has become an all-hit show.

James Reyne A Crawl To Now is playing all over Australia.

As the Prime Minister of Australia said this week, “As Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Lynne travel the length and breadth of our country, visiting all the places that aren’t important enough for Prime Ministers”, so to will James Reyne OAM play to Australians living in towns “not important enough for Prime Ministers” to visit.
