WILLIE WATSON & JOSH HEDLEY 2016
It is with delight that Love Police announce that Willie Watson and Josh Hedley will bring songs and sensational playing to Australia’s East Coast in July 2016.
Kick starting in Brisbane it will be a rollicking ride down our East Coast with stops in Sydney, Melbourne and Meeniyan, as well as Bellingen for Bello Winter Music festival.
Willie Watson, who captured fans on his recent trip down under as part of the Dave Rawlings Machine, is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and banjo player who hails from Watkins Glen in upstate New York and was a founding member of the most respected bands within the realm of modern Americana, Old Crow Medicine Show. Released in 2014 his debut solo album, Folk Singer Vol. 1, was produced by Dave Rawlings and was described by Rhythms Magazine as “relentlessly riveting” and by respected Americana blog Post To Wire as “Highly recommended.” Willie is currently recording his new album which will be due for release in late 2016.
Josh Hedley may have been born and raised in Naples, Florida but is no stranger to our musical venues having toured here with Justin Townes Earle and more recently as part of the Out on the Weekend House Band in October 2015 and in his 11 years as a Nashville musician he has been a mainstay in all the legendary honky tonks and has played with the likes of Jack White, Dan Auerbach, Nikki Lane, Justin Townes Earle, Yelawolf and Jonny Fritz who pushed him to pursue a career as a singer and songwriter and with the greats like George Jones and Merle Haggard in mind, Joshua plans to take over the world with his own brand of traditional country music.
Two great singers, two great musicians.
One incredible show. Don’t miss it!
