Media release: Get set ... Synch!
Announcement posted by Jameson & Co 11 Mar 2021
Just over one week before his solo east coast tour, Taxiride frontman Jason Singh’s unmissable soaring vocals can be heard on high rotation on TVs around Australia, as one of the band’s most popular tracks - Get Set - provides the soundtrack to Visit Victoria’s latest tourism marketing campaign to promote vibrant Melbourne.
The Top 5 classic anthem remains one of Taxiride’s most recognisable songs, and is the perfect choice to encourage interstate visitors to “get set” for Melbourne, from where the band hails.
The Visit Melbourne ads, which showcase the best of the Victorian capital, surrounding neighbourhoods and regions, hit the screens while Jason has been rehearsing for the forthcoming tour, which coincidentally will see him perform the hits of Taxiride, along with his solo material and a selection of favourite classics from late March and throughout April.
Bringing two sets of solid 90s nostalgia across twelve cities and towns in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, Jason Singh plays Taxiride (Hits, Bits & Beyond) features the dynamic frontman in acoustic mode, with his powerhouse vocals front and foremost.
The Hits, Bits & Beyond show will see Jason perform all the iconic hits that saw Taxiride at the top of the Australian music industry, including of course, Get Set, Everywhere You Go, and the most played song on Australian radio in 2002, Creepin’ Up Slowly. His set will also include material from deep within the Taxiride catalogue - such as Skin, Saffron and Worlds Away.
"I'm proud of everything I've done," Jason says, "Taxiride is where it all started for me and to have one of our hits used to represent Melbourne and Victoria’s many attractions is a great honour. I’m also excited about getting back on the road and playing a collection of songs I've rarely, some never, played live.”
With a studio album, a covers album and a string of singles including two dance club hits, Jason will also feature a variety of his solo material, which has seen him tour extensively with a long list of accomplished artists including Mariah Carey, Rick Astley, HANSON and John Farnham.
Stories, influences and insights from over 20 years of touring; you can be sure, as Jason Singh plays Taxiride, that each show is set to be a different ride.
