Following on from the release of his first true collection of original songs WILLIE WATSON, thecelebrated folk singer returns to Australia this March for a run around the country sharing andcelebrating music in the American folk tradition. Co-founder of Old Crow Medicine Show and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings collaborator,Willie Watson is back with a suite of new music, produced alongside members of Punch Brothers and Milk Carton Kids, that reckon with heartbreak, memory, sobriety and hope, carried by Watson’s exquisite rural tenor and timeless sense of songcraft. Stripped of the cowboy hat and expectations, Watson has emerged as a songwriter of rare depth and truth. His new work stands proudly alongside the folk canon he has long championed-songs that remind us of our shared burdens, resilience and the possibility of renewal. This March, Love Police proudly presents Willie Watson as he returns Down Under for the tenth or so time. This is one evening with Willie Watson that you won’t wanna miss!
