Three time Grammy winner Lucinda Williams has established a reputation as one of rock's most uncompromising and consistently fascinating writers and performers, earning kudos from artists as diverse as Mary-Chapin Carpenter and Elvis Costello.

2009 marks the 30th anniversary of Lucinda’s first recording - and after 30 plus years of writing, recording and performing, she is in the midst of her most prolific period to date. Her newly released album ‘Little Honey’ resonates with new sounds, familiar styles, new friends, renewed optimism and thought-provoking sentiment; showcasing all the elements that have made Williams one of the most celebrated living songwriters.

In her first Australasian tour for over 16 years, the Louisiana-born singer will be backed by her solid road band ‘Buick 6’, which includes mainstay Doug Pettibone on guitar, with David Sutton (bass) and former Eels’ members Chet Lyster (guitar) and Butch Norton (drums).

Whether you’re a long time Lucinda Williams fan or just discovering her wonderfully captivating music for the first time - these shows are not to be missed.

Tickets on sale 30 January.

Real love is being there for whatever reason, not just when you are asked to be. Real love means never having to say you're sorry, because they will know you are. Real love is unconditional; it hurts at times, but it is so rewarding and fulfilling.

Real love is grounded on truth, generosity and humility. You have the power to give and receive it but do not have the power to force it out of anyone. It's simply mysterious and magical that no words can fully explain it.

Real love in the smell of my children in the mornings.
A hug from my Mother after 12 years.
Sitting next to my partner and not having to say anything.
Love is peacefull.

Real Love is self-forgetting devotional to love of the One who has realized non-separateness and therefore is Love Itself.

Real Love is not obsession, or the one person you can't live without; it's the one person you can live with and want to be with more than anyone else. Real Love is spending time together, doing things mundane or exciting; travelling, going to gigs, cooking, playing games and sharing inner jokes. It's knowing that person is there to talk to, knowing that person trusts you as you trust them. Real love is knowing that when you're 80, you're still going to love being with that person as much as you do now.

REAL LOVE is finding your soulmate 35 years after you were together in High School; he looks you up after his cancer is "better"; rediscovering your close connection; realising the strength of your love for each other; rising above all obstacles, especially when his cancer came back within 3 months of getting back together; him saying with the cancer,things would get really difficult so if I wanted to go, go NOW rather than later ; tattooing my double heart committment to him onto my ring finger; commuting 4 hours a trip to see him for 6 years; managing to help give him strength to keep on top of his cancer for 5 years longer than expected; getting engaged on Valentines Day last year while driving home from hospital; and he died three weeks later (in the hospital where I was born); while we were planning to get married; sorting our headstone; finding he was buried in my plot by mistake so moving his side of the engraving to his corrrect side of the headstone; being together forever.

Real love is climbing the hills hand in hand, walking thru the valleys with a shoulder to lean on, growing stronger with each trail. Having someone to celebrate the highs and comfort during the lows. A wife who loves unconditionally, accepting me with all my faults, cheering for me from the sidelines, and picking me up when I fall.

"Real love is not atttained but "contained". Working from your "essence" being loving and kind, being true to yourself. Appreciating the gifts that we are given - each breath that we take, hearing childrens laughter, giving, encouraging others, being positive, being grateful for all that you receive...enjoying the journey.

Real Love - I think I lost it let me know if you come across it, let me know if I let it fall along a back road somewhere.

Real love has got to be the enduring kind and that really must be about loving yourself. We can spend a lot of years looking to someone else for it but in fact it begins from within. Real love is a real big love and wouldn't the world be a happy place if we all shared it? We know Lucinda from her pain and angst and now we're feeling her translation of real love. Rock on honeybee!

Real love to me is when I am sitting at home, sick as a dog, facing christmas for the first time in my life without my family in Canada and my boyfriend comes home and says "Why don't we go to Canada for Christmas" after only being with me for a few months. He gave up time with his own family and travelled to a country he had never been to before to endure the interrogation of my family for me. It was an incredible gesture and probably the moment when I actually fell in love with him.

Every day when I see my partner Linda I see real love in her eyes. The look that says we are together, thick or thin. It's two years since we met and the honeymoon continues.

Real love is that unspoken natural admiration two people have for each other, it is gazing at your own child as they discover their own capabilities.

Love means wanting to make them happy
and not caring if that sounds sappy
Adoring their quirks and seeing only the best
and spend more time with them, above all the rest.

Real love.......that indescribable feeling of absolute happiness and contentment, you feel as if you truly are on top of the world. You know when you've found real love, because all the little things you used to worry about don't seem to matter anymore. You are happy within yourself and you feel special and cherished.....all that matters is being with that one person who makes you feel complete. Real love....it truly is something quite spectacular!

Real love is hubby seeing me painting my toenails, kneeling down on the floor and doing it for me - when he was very drunk. He did an awesome job, before he fell asleep at my feet...

Real Love is the kind of love that can fill us up, make us whole, and give us the happiness we all want, Its caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves. It’s also Real Love when other people care about our happiness unconditionally.
