The tradition of storytelling in songwriting is one that extends throughout the history of Australian music. William Crighton is its latest proponent; a singular talent from the rural New South Wales who prides himself on honesty and directness in his work.

His self-titled debut album, out now, was recorded in his hometown, and produced and mixed by Matt Sherrod (Crowded House, Beck). Crighton and his four-piece band play The Gum Ball in the Hunter Valley, Friday April 22 – Sunday April 24, before headlining at The Vanguard on Friday April 29. We’ve got two double passes to give away to the Sydney show – enter below.
