On April 3, singer-songwriter Stu Larsen will release his most intimate album-to-date, Marigold (via Nettwerk Records). The eleven tracks on Marigold speak to Larsen's external and internal progression, bookended by first single "Whisky & Blankets (A Tu Lado)" and the final cut on the album, "Phone Call From My Lover." In between Marigold and his earlier LP Resolute, Larsen fell in love only to fall into heartbreak and, ultimately, find the inspiration to write straight from the heart. The latest single, "Hurricane" is about the emotional force of love which swept - quickly and unexpectedly - in (and out) of his life.
"I came into her life so unexpectedly and turned everything upside down, she felt things she hadn't felt before and maybe didn't know how to respond, which turned the relationship into such a rollercoaster. 'Hurricane' is a short and punchy song that starts and finishes before you have a chance to settle into it," says Larsen.
Currently, Stu Larsen has no fixed residence...all he owns is a suitcase, a guitar and a couple of cameras. You can find him in his native Australia, in Spain, Japan or South America before he picks up and leaves for his new destination. The Queensland, Australia-born singer, songwriter, and narrator packed up his life in a suitcase and circled the globe on a near twelve-year and five-continent international trip, as chronicled in photography and music.
Stu has now toured the globe numerous times over, cultivating fans with sold-out concerts around the world. As a result, fan favorites like "San Francisco" and "Thirteen Sad Farewells" have earned 100 million+ combined streams across digital platforms. In addition to documenting his travels through photos, Stu has lived numerous adventures, including an emergency appendectomy in Indonesia and being surprised by a jaguar at a party in Mexico City. Last month, Larsen announced his latest globe-trotting adventure that would take him through 11 countries in 31 days. But, with that, he still plans to return to North American this Spring.
