What can be said about John Williamson that hasn’t already been said? 2025 will mark his 55th year in the industry. He will also turn eighty. Twenty-five, fifty-five, eighty. From his humble beginnings as the son of a wheat farmer in the small Victorian Mallee town of Quambatook, it’s quite an achievement.
His live concerts take the audience on a journey across this vast land, moving deftly between larrikin humour and touching pathos. From ‘Cootamundra Wattle’, ‘Cydi’, ‘Three Sons’, ‘A Bushman Can’t Survive’, ‘Rip Rip Woodchip’, ‘Galleries of Pink Galahs’, ‘Raining on the Rock’, ‘Please Don’t Forget Me’ and his calling card, ‘True Blue’, he touches his audience’s hearts, gives them hope and lingers in their memories.
John’s fans will immediately recognise ‘My Travellin’ Days are Done’, as a line from a favourite song, ‘Chandelier of Stars’. After fifty-five years of travelling, it says it all. 2025 will also see the release of a new album, his 53rd, and his fifth picture book for children, Koala Koala, based on his song of the same name, to be published by Penguin Books.
John is still writing and recording new songs, but don’t miss out on seeing True Blue perform live in 2025 through to 2026 before his ‘Travellin’ Days are Done’. There is no doubt that his contribution to our country’s music and the national psyche will resonate long after the last note has been played.
