Following his winning performance at last year’s Gentlemen of The Road show in Dungog, US singer/songwriter Willy Mason will be returning to Australia this April to support UK folk singer Ben Howard.
Mason – a personal favourite of Mumford & Sons – will also perform two headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne, plus a very special and intimate all-ages in-store performance at Brisbane’s Jet Black Cat Music on Friday April 5.
Mason’s Melbourne headline date will take place on Sunday April 7 at Melbourne venue The Toff in Town. The performance will be part of an upcoming season of shows presented by Communion Melbourne, in association with Communion Music UK.
Willy Mason joins an outstanding season line up which includes singer/songwriters Thelma Plum, and Jordie Lane and electronic duo Deja.
Willy Mason’s upcoming tour follows the release of his third full-length album Carry On in late 2012. The album fuses lyrical sentiments of hope, disillusionment, love and lost connections; all themes that Mason was able to draw on during a period of decampment and reconnection to his childhood home in Martha’s Vineyard during the making of the album.
The period of hiatus between 2007’s If The Ocean Gets Rough and 2012’sCarry On has found Mason at the peak of his powers and being heralded by fans and critics alike as producing his best work to date.
