A country/roots extravaganza!.
Bryan and The Wildes took out the coveted Golden Guitar for Alt-Country Album of the Year at the 2014 Country Music Awards of Australia, whilst Waters’ debut La Vita Bella won last year’s The Age Music Victoria Award for Best Country Album amongst a string of other accolades.
“Bryan and band have a peculiar talent for engaging with the tropes and mores of the country/Americana tradition while imbuing their songs with pathos, sharp pop sensibilities, and a uniquely Australian outlook” says Gareth Hipwell of Country Update, whilst Denise Hylands of Twang calls Bryan “a truly gifted talent…who’s songs sit comfortably alongside storytellers John Prine and Townes Van Zandt”.
Waters’ unique southern delivery conjured up comparisons to Tod Snider and even Merle Haggard, with Rhythms Magazine editor Martin Jones describing him as a “charming and completely convincing character who’s songs are consistently affecting”.
All three acts are headed to Nashville for the 2014 Americana Festival and Conference – but in the meantime they’re inviting YOU to “Follow me to Tennessee!”
