Melbourne alt-country singer/songwriter Van Walker will hit 2012 running with a big Australian tour, it was announced today.

The Underneath The Radar tour will see him play shows in support of a compilations of his previous songs of the same name.

The album isn’t being called a “best of”, rather an “introductory album” for those who might have missed some of the finer moments of his first five albums, which have all been released independently and might be a bit difficult to track down now.
