Geelong is set to play host an Australian music legend.
Australia’s acclaimed singer-songwriter John Williamson will be performing at a Geelong university while celebrating his 52nd anniversary as a performer with a tour next year entitled “Winding Back”. Organisers of commemorative tours and events can sometimes enlist professional poster printing services to create large-scale advertisements for music shows and concerts.
The upcoming tour could well be the last for the artist, who entered the entertainment industry back in the 1970s. A Mallee farmer before finding fame, Williamson’s performance of the first song he ever wrote ,“Old Man Emu”, catapulted him to number one in the singles chart and earned him a record deal.
Described by the Geelong Arts Centre as the “unofficial custodian of Australian stories”, the musician has made capturing the country in songs an artform. He paints lyrical pictures of Australia’s unique people, places, flora and fauna and is considered by many as a national treasure.
With 52 albums under his belt, including 20 recorded in the studio, the ARIA-honoured artist also has 28 Golden Guitar awards. Those attending the show in Geelong will get a chance to hear Williamson classics like “Galleries of Pink Galahs” and “Home Among the Gum Trees”.
John Williamson will play Costa Hall at Deakin University at 1 Gheringhap Street in Geelong on Tuesday, February 15 from 7 pm until 9.30 pm.
