Wilson Blackley The Remain Tour with Oscar LaDell.Wilson Blackley is an Australian multi-instrumentalist and producer currently based in Melbourne.
Born and raised in Poowong (Victoria), Wilson was surrounded by music from an early age. At just 2 years old he started playing the drums along to his mother’s music collection consisting of old soul, funk and r&b from the 60’s and 70’s. He started learning the guitar as soon as he could, and had the habit of making anything he could get his hands on into an instrument. Growing up far from the city instilled a strong sense of curiosity and work ethic in him from a young age, leading him to produce his first batch of demos in his teenage years. A stand-out among these demos was the song ‘Home’
‘Home’ found its way to Sam Teskey (The Teskey Brothers) who would go on to co-produce the song alongside Wilson when he was just 18.
Following the release of ‘Home’, he went on to sell out The Gasometer and play a string of festival slots alongside a variety of artists including The Teskey Brothers and Boy and Bear.
At this time, Wilson moved to St Kilda and in the heart of Melbourne began collaborating with Sensible J (Sampa The Great, Remi, Immy Owusu) on his debut EP ‘Material Plane P1’ which was released to critical acclaim in August 2022. After that, he co-produced Oscar LaDell’s EP ‘No Blue’ and subsequently embarked on a co-headline tour of Aotearoa and Australia with LaDell. After a three year break from releasing music, Wilson Blackley will return with his new song ‘Wired’ that bridges the sonics from his first EP with what's to come.
Also appearing Oscar LaDell hot off a US tour.
Doors open 8pm for an 8.30pm start.
