Indigo FM is proud to partner with Arts Rutherglen and Destination Rutherglen to present The Weeping Willows live at Wahgunyah School of Arts Hall on Sunday 8 October. It’s a chance to again highlight original songwriting and storytelling which has been a focus of this partnership from mid-2022 onwards.
3 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’, 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. Real music.
Indigo FM President Scott Landells said Indigo FM is excited to be able to partner with Arts Rutherglen on this event. “The Weeping Willows have been creating their deep southern gothic style of Americana for around a decade, impressing festival audiences everywhere. They have just returned to our shores after a successful tour of the UK which followed them wowing crowds at this year’s Yackandandah Folk Festival. And it’s a pleasure to be able to come on board a promote their concert at Wahgunyah on October 8.”
Tickets are $25 for general public, $20 for members of Indigo FM, Arts Rutherglen and Destination Rutherglen and $10 for young people (13-17yo). They are now on sale, so grab yours here.
