Return visit to Filey for this brilliant Aussie duo.
3 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’, 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.
That kind of description might make them sound like some carefully contrived concept-act but there’s something truly different about The Weeping Willows: they really mean it…

— Rolling Stone

— No Depression
“If you enjoy a good ghost story, scary movie, and your acoustic music edged in black, you’ll enjoy The Weeping Willows.”
— Bluegrass Unlimited
“The oppressive weight and consequences of living and loving are laid bare with a surgeon’s precision in 10 songs filled with power and beauty.”
— The Australian
“…up there with the finest Americana music you’ll hear this year.”
— The Music
