Guy Blackman at Phoenix Central Park
Thursday 20 November from 7pm to 8pm
Doors open 30 minutes before advertised starting times.
Guy Blackman is a songwriter’s songwriter. His deftly constructed songs deal frankly with issues of love, sexuality and commitment. If Serge Gainsbourg, Tim Hardin or Kevin Ayers wrote songs set in gay saunas or on adult camming websites, you might get close to an idea of Guy’s approach.
He released new album Out Of Sight in July 2025, featuring a duet with Julien Gasc (Stereolab, Aquaserge) and contributions from Laura Jean, Liam Parsons & Stefan Blair (Good Morning) and Liam Halliwell (Snowy Band). The album was RRR and RTR album of the week, and album of the month in French glossy magazine Rock & Folk. Guy toured the UK and France in July 2025.
In Australia, Guy has shared stages with Joanna Newsom, Bill Callahan, Vashti Bunyan, Stereolab, John Grant, Beach Fossils, Owen Pallett, Jens Lekman and others. As a member of bands Sleepy Township, Montero and Minimum Chips, he has played with Elliot Smith, Cat Power, Pavement, War On Drugs, Kurt Vile and more.
