Rising US multi-talent Searows today announces his highly anticipated debut visit, bringing the Death in the Business of Whaling Tour to Australia this November in celebration of his second full-length album of the same name.

Searows – the project of Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter and guitarist Alec Duckart – will perform intimate headline shows at Sydney’s City Recital Hall on Friday 20 November, The Triffid, Brisbane on Sunday 22 November and Melbourne Recital Centre on Tuesday 24 November*.

Frontier Members can access their presale from 11am local time on Monday 27 July before tickets go on sale at 12pm local time on Tuesday 28 July.

Transcending on an incredible trajectory from viral 2023 breakout track 'House Song', 26-year-old Duckart has been building something special. He has quickly gathered a cult following with his timeless, old-world sensibilities and sensitive lyricism with albums and EPs like 2022's Guard Dog, 2023's End of the World and 2024’s flush establishing him as a compelling storyteller and leading him to share stages with Gracie Abrams and Ethel Cain.

Searows' biggest singles 'House Song', 'Keep The Rain', 'End Of The World' and 'Funny' have seen the rising star reach millions of streams in just a few short years. His second album Death in the Business of Whaling breaches into newfound cinematic intensity, as a collection of songs that converge like weather systems over choppy grey waters. One of those records that soaks you to the bone, 'Whaling' is an arresting document of a young artist coming into his own, and a probing meditation on life, death, embodiment and the tangled threads that connect all three.

"Mesmerizing" - Stereogum

"Searows makes the kind of timeless indie folk that you wanna put on when it's raining and you're in the mood to get in your feelings. Not because the songs, guitar-plucked and hushed, are so particularly moody, but because the Portland-raised singer writes with an unexplainable, emotive clarity." - The FADER

“With soft folk instrumentals and vulnerable lyrics, Searows is part of the new wave of gentle queer singer-songwriters.” - Buzzfeed

"It starts off in the caverns of a whale's belly, with the singer crawling out of an emotional rock bottom with a plucky banjo, a touch of violins and percussion, a momentous guitar melody, and his misty, haunting vocals... Searows' dark, visceral, and nautical project; dive in!" - The Needle Drop

High praise from both fans and critics alike further cements the album as a game-changing release and for his artistry as one to watch - Death in the Business of Whaling invites you to immerse yourself with all the conviction of an artist who believes in the transformative power of the depths. When you come up for air, you'll be different.

Following a UK and European tour and his most extensive tour to date across North America, Searows' compelling live presence saw a multitude of sold-out shows across the region, with many more to come in 2026 and beyond. Taking Death in the Business of Whaling on the road is a cathartic process for both Searows and his audiences, bringing the most intimate form of his tracks to life on stage.

Now bringing this special project to Australia, fans will get the chance to experience the magic of Searows live for the very first time – an unmissable experience, catch Searows' debut intimate performances coming this November.
