Clare Bowditch ‘What Was Left’ Regional Tour

Clare Bowditch - What Was Left – Regional TourTwenty years ago, Melbourne's indie-darling, a young Clare Bowditch surprised even her own parents by scooping the coveted 'Best Female Artist ARIA' thanks to her breakthrough album ‘What Was Left’.Recorded in the back shed with her then boyfriend, producer and drummer Marty Brown just one year after they welcomed their first child, ‘What Was Left’ stands as an extraordinarily anomaly; a stunningly instrumented, profoundly intimate, cheeky, rebellious, heart-breaking, uplifting, and now uniquely beloved time-capsule of emotions and topics the majority of pop songs did their darndest to avoid, like grief and motherhood. Full of longing and passion, encouragement and cynicism,In late 2025, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the seminal work that first brought the name Clare Bowditch into our orbit, join her for a run of regional shows.This is your perfect chance to be up-close and in person with one of Australias most entertaining story-tellers, to feel the warmth, hear the untold stories, and re-experience the songs from ‘What Was Left’. It will also be your first chance in a long time to hear Clare's new and yet to be released work, which some believe to be 'her finest yet'To mark this special occasion, ‘What Was Left’ will also be available for the very first time ever on Vinyl. Featuring the legendary artwork of Kat MacLeod, on beautiful white vinyl with full lyrics, and the limited edition ep “Loose Acoustic One Takes” that was a bonus disk with the initial CD release.The success of ‘What Was Left’ marked the beginning of what has been Clare's genuinely anomalous twenty year career as an artist and story-teller spanning acting, broadcasting, community advocacy and the penning of a best-selling memoir. Mostly, she says, she was just raising kids and pets and trying not to 'fuck it up'.You can hear all about it when you come to see her at The Citadel.Tickets $45 inc GST + booking fee $55 at the door if they’re still available
