“What Lachlan Bryan does is write some of the most insightful, poignant and heartfelt songs you'll hear this or any other year” - Stuart Coupe, — Best-selling Author of Paul Kelly: The Man, The Music and The Life In-Between
Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes play their first ever full band George Lane show. Lachlan and the band have been writing, recording and playing live beautiful alt-country for some years. The group recived high praise for their debut album ‘Ballad of a Young Married Man’ before disbanding and then reforming in 2013 under the name Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes. The band went on the release the album ‘Black Coffee’ that year with the album winning the group their first Golden Guitar award and Music Victoria awards.
Their critically acclaimed album ‘Nearest Misses (Live)’ was released in April 2021, reaching #1 on the ARIA charts. They then went on to release ‘As Long As It’s Not Us’ in September 2021. Along with topping the charts, the band received rave reviews both here and abroad. Americana UK said “Though distinctly radio-friendly, ‘As Long As It’s Not Us’ contains a depth that gives the hooks and licks a beguiling sustenance”, the album scored 8/10 in the UK’s Maverick Magazine and Sunburnt Country compared it to “an Arthur Streeton painting, an act of love and the best document of these times you could ask”.

3 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’ and 2021 Australian Folk Music and Music Victoria Award winners, The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery. They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil, murder and decay. That kind of description might make them sound like some carefully contrived concept-act but there’s something truly different about The Weeping Willows: they really mean it…
2017-2022 saw The Weeping Willows nominated for 10 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’ awards, 5 x Australian Folk Music Awards (AFMAs), 4 x Country Music Channel (CMC) awards, Live Act of the Year (Country) in the National Live Music Awards (NLMAs), performing at AmericanaFest (USA), Folk Alliance International (USA), Maverick Festival (UK), Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Out On The Weekend and the Australian Americana Music Honours. In recent years they have supported Lukas Nelson & POTR (USA), Hayes Carll (USA), Iris DeMent (USA), Eilen Jewell (USA) and Willie Watson (USA) and completed national and international tours in support of their sophomore album, Before Darkness Comes A-Callin’, which received four-star reviews in Rolling Stone, The Australian and The Music. A Weeping Willows performance, whether live on location or caught on tape will always delight.
