Willie Watson

LOVE POLICE PRESENTS WILLIE WATSON'S AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2026

Also playing Port Fairy Folk Festival and Blue Mountains Music Festival
Following on from the release of his first true collection of original songs WILLIE WATSON,
the celebrated folk singer returns to Australia this March for a run around the country sharing
and celebrating 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. Supporting Willie Watson on his Australian journey is Melbourne-based guilt
slinger, song singer, chain blinger A.C. Saunders. 

This is one evening with Willie Watson that you won’t wanna miss!
