John Williamson, an Australian icon, is coming to Twin Towns, to get your feet tapping to his biggest hits and songs that have successfully captured the true Aussie spirit.
Having won three ARIA Awards, 24 Golden Guitars, MO Awards, APRA Awards, Platinum and Gold albums, and sold over four million albums, John’s experience in the music industry is astonishing.
Through 2010-2011 he celebrated a milestone regarded as a significant achievement, marking 40 years of success in the entertainment business, as it was in June, 1970 in which John really made a name for himself. On the talent quest TV show, New Faces, he competed with his self-penned and still much loved ‘silly song’ ‘Old Man Emu’. He won, and since then, has inspired pride in country, love of land and touched millions all over Australia.
Since then he has been stirring the classics such as ‘Cootamundra Wattle’, ‘Raining on the Rock’, ‘Salisbury Street’, ‘Galleries of Pink Galahs’, and public outcries like ‘Rip Rip Woodchip’, ‘A Bushman Can’t Survive’; and let’s not forget his romantic ballads such as ‘Winter Green’ and ‘Hawkesbury River Lovin’.
With the ability to reduce his audience to tears, have them rolling in fits of laughter and also singing along to his all-time hits, you will be assured an exciting night out, as the all-round energy experienced from John’s shows are why he remains the pinnacle of live performers, holding shows which are rarely forgotten.
