In a gloriously unabashed antipodean drawl, neo-bush balladeer Watty Thompson explores themes of inward and outward love, togetherness, and a desire to strive and live beyond the material. It’s affirming, joyous and inspiring, all played out against a background of rollicking country flavoured Australiana folk. He's hitting the road this May for a series of intimate solo performances to commemorate the issue of his reflective new single 'Under The Stars'.
A long time advocate for self-care and the journey toward your own contentment, ‘Under The Stars’ arrives as a timely reminder for mindfulness in a frankly frightening world full of chaos and digital distraction. Watty adds, ‘Under The Stars’ is "a little ode to using stargazing as a nice activity to find inner peace and reconnect with ourselves while living in an age saturated by superficial noise."
Beyond that, ‘Under The Stars’ is a lilting slice of unabashed modern indie Australiana delivered by one of our most loveable storytellers, and is sure to add to the acclaim of his 2023 self-tiled debut album and beloved recent single ‘Rock & Roll’.
On the Under The Stars Tour, Watty ventures throughout Victoria and NSW on a run of rare solo shows that will again deliver straight-from-the-heart music, moving grown folks to both tears of joy and sorrow. Until you see and hear him again, Watty sends a reminder that, "creating space to be alone with our thoughts is crucial. Stargazing is great for that. Infinite lights of guidance…"
Watty stops by Deni for a rare intimate solo performance on Thursday May 21st outside under the stars at Harry Pepper! BYO camp chair.
Doors at 7pm. Show starts shortly after.
