Great Southern Nights and The Midnight Special present The Weeping Willows and Great Aunt.
3 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’, 2 x Australian Folk Music and Music Victoria Award winners, The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery. They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil, murder and decay.
2017-2024 has seen The Weeping Willows nominated for 14 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’ awards, 7 x Australian Folk Music Awards (AFMAs), 4 x Country Music Channel (CMC) awards, 2 x National Live Music Awards (NLMAs), performing Official Showcases at AmericanaFest (USA) and Folk Alliance International (USA) and appearing at Maverick Festival (UK), Port Fairy Folk Festival, National Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Out On The Weekend and the Australian Americana Music Honours.
“stunning acoustic guitar work, heavenly harmonies, and a haunting melody rooted in American Gothic.” – Pop Matters (USA) ★★★★ – Rolling Stone, Rhythms Mag
Great Aunt will bring their foot stomping, hand clapping, bombastic bass and soaring harmonies to The Midnight Special stage. Their stories are deeply felt, revealing and relatable. Megan Bird on mandolin, resonator and acoustic guitar and Chelsea Allen on double bass and percussion perform music that draws inspiration from the traditions of Appalachian folk and bluegrass.
