Love Police Touring has announced that Willie Watson and Josh Hedley will be touring together along Australia’s East Coast in July 2016.
Willie Watson is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and banjo player who hails from Watkins Glen in upstate New York. He was a founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show and released his highly regarded, traditional, debut solo album Folk Singer Vol. 1 (Acony Records/Redeye Worldwide) in 2014, which was produced by Dave Rawlings. He was on these shores not that long ago as part of the esteemed Dave Rawlings Machine tour that is turning to legendary status – he also played on last year’s DRM album Nashville Obsolete.
Josh Hedley, born and raised in Naples Florida, has established himself over eleven years as a go-to Nashville musician, playing with the likes of Jack White, Dan Auerbach and Nikki Lane. He is no stranger to Australia, having toured here with Justin Townes Earle and Jonny Fritz and as part of the Out on the Weekend Festival house band last year.
It looks like being a series of tantalising shows down the Eastern seaboard. I’ve just booked my tickets for the Caravan Club show Melbourne on 15 July 2016.
