The tour, Tell Me Why, celebrates Mr Roach's memoir and latest album (2019) which explores his journey from a stolen child and teenage alcoholic to seeker, lover (with his life partner the late Ruby Hunter), father, musical icon, social advocate and First Nations leader.

"It is a great honour for Horsham to be part of Archie's tour," Horsham Town hall venue manager Shana Miatke said.

"The Horsham Town Hall team have worked very hard to create more significant partnerships with BGLC and Goolum Goolum to support our first nation's stories and connection to country.

"Archie is a powerhouse of storytelling through both the spoken word and his music, and we anticipant that it will be an unforgettable night for all who attend."
