Ross Wilson To Wrap 50 Years Into One Long Tour

in News

Ross Wilson will head out with The Peaceniks at the end of September for the ‘Steppin’ Out! 50 Years of Hits Tour which will see him on the road for the next seven months.

Ross has well and truly overshot the runaway on the 50 year mark with that first Daddy Cool album ‘Daddy Who? Daddy Cool’ and the single ‘Eagle Rock’ already passed 52 years.

Even the second Daddy Cool album ‘Sex, Dope, Rock’n’Roll Teenage Heaven’ is about to hit 52 after being released in December 1971, just six months after the first album.

Ross even goes back further with The Pink Finks around Melbourne from 1965 to 1967 and then Sons of Vegetal Mother from 1969 to 1971, before Daddy Cool.

Mondo Rock was then around from 1976 to 1991 and again for live shows in 2006 and 2007 and occasionally since 2011.

Ross has also had four solo albums and an acoustic record from 1989 to 2010 and recently released a new song ‘She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time’.
