Fifteen Years Of Festivals – With Friends!

Join 3 x Golden Guitar winners, The Weeping Willows, for a very special show at the Capitol Theatre to celebrate 15 Years of Festivals – with friends!

With very special guests Allan Caswell, Allison Forbes, Brad Butcher, Gretta Ziller, Kristy Cox, Lachlan Bryan, Lynchburg and Riley Catherall!

2021 & 2022 CMAA Golden Guitar, Australian Folk Music Award 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.  2017-2022 saw The Weeping Willows nominated for 14 x CMAA Golden Guitar awards, 4 x Country Music Channel (CMC) awards, Live Act of the Year (Country) in the National Live Music Awards (NLMAs), performing at AmericanaFest (USA), Folk Alliance International (USA), Maverick Festival (UK), Groundwater Country Music Festival, Gympie Music Muster, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Out On The Weekend and the Australian Americana Music Honours.  In recent years they have supported Lukas Nelson & POTR (USA), Hayes Carll (USA), Iris DeMent (USA), Eilen Jewell (USA) and Willie Watson (USA) and completed national and international tours in support of their latest LP, You Reap What You Sow and sophomore album, Before Darkness Comes A-Callin’, which received four-star reviews in Rolling Stone, The Australian and The Music.  A Weeping Willows performance, whether live on location or caught on tape will always delight. 

The Weeping Willows will swap songs with collaborators, co-writers and companions from their previous festivals, so come along and enjoy this wonderful show in the comfort of the Capitol Theatre.
