The long-awaited debut full-length album from actor and Americana singer-songwriter Alan Fletcher<\/strong>, The Point<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, is out today – listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Point – <\/em>which also features album producers and multi-instrumentalists Damian Cafarella and Lachlan Bryan, Luke Moller on fiddle, and Jennifer Hansen providing duet vocals on ‘Somebody’ – was recorded at End Of The Road Studio in Melbourne, showcasing Alan\u2019s particular take on the world, drawing influence and inspiration from singer-songwriters such as John Prine and Guy Clark amongst others, and follows on from the release of his EP Dispatches<\/em> last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album opener and title track began life “as a light spoof on religion,” <\/em>before Fletcher “quickly realised that the song had much more potential. Do we not spend our lives asking the biggest question, what is the point of it all?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alan is due to take to the road in the UK again later this month, and throughout March and April. In addition to his forthcoming appearance this March in Neighbours – The Celebration Tour<\/em><\/a> for fifteen shows alongside fellow cast members Jackie Woodburne, Stefan Dennis, Ryan Moloney, Annie Jones and April Rose Pengilly – including three sold-out nights at the London Palladium – he will join frequent collaborators Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes on the road for fifteen headline shows across the UK, performing music from the new album.
