KARL S WILLIAMS & SALLY WIGGINSTHURSDAY 24 APRIL, 7PM
FREE SHOW
Karl S. Williams and Sally Wiggins make music that is steeped in delta blues, gospel and old-time folk, with poetic sensibilities that call to mind the classic singer-songwriters of yesteryear. With a voice that sounds about a thousand years old, Karl moves between guitar, piano and banjo while Sally holds it down on the drum kit with mesmerising rhythms drawn from her wealth of jazz and Afro influences.
Karl proudly traces his bloodlines to the Butchulla and Darug people of Australia’s First Nations. This deep connection to the landscape of his homeland pervades his work, infusing it with a spirituality older than time.
Together they are liberated to lean into the music, playing with space and silence as much as notes - veering effortlessly from acoustic intimacy to fuzzed out garage blues. With a mandate to improvise, eschew convention and give voice to the human spirit, they take audiences on an emotional ride which is frequently described as mesmerising.
Just a year into their journey, Karl & Sally have already clocked up appearances at festivals such as Kiama Jazz & Blues, Wintermoon, Tamworth Country Music and Echuca Winter Blues and opened for The Whitlams, The Cruel Sea and Ash Grunwald.
These shows are part of Beat’n Tracks - a newly created Regional Touring Circuit and collaboration, bringing some of the best Australian artists to regional Victoria - the result of funding from Live Music Australia, but also admiration between the regional venues.
