For the very first time, Australians have the rare opportunity to experience the revered live show of Jonathan Wilson and his full backing band across a string of intimate venues up and down the east coast.
Inspired by the atmospheric guitar work and mellow vibrations of many of L.A.'s Laurel Canyon folk stars from the 60s and 70s, Jonathan Wilson's music is lodged somewhere between Neil Young's Harvest
and Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. Dream-like folk music recorded through analogue vintage artifacts, Wilson constructs a spellbinding 1960s sanctuary for his listener.
After a lengthy period of procrastination, working extensively with renowned artists such as Erykah Badu, Elvis Costello, Wilco and The Black Crowes, Wilson released his seminal debut album Gentle Spirit in 2011. Not your archetypal singer-songwriter, it is a deep-seeded adoration of 1960s Los Angeles that drives Wilson's unique songwriting. Check out Desert Raven below in order to hear those sensibilities as clear as a bell.
