LOVE POLICE PRESENTS WILLIE WATSON'S AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2026  
  
Also playing Port Fairy Folk Festival and Blue Mountains Music Festival  
Following on from the release of his first true collection of original songs **WILLIE WATSON**,  
the celebrated folk singer returns to Australia this March for a run around the country sharing  
and celebrating music in the American folk tradition.  
   
Co-founder of Old Crow Medicine Show and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings collaborator,  
Willie Watson is back with a suite of new music, produced alongside members of Punch  
Brothers and Milk Carton Kids, that reckon with heartbreak, memory, sobriety and hope,  
carried by Watson’s exquisite rural tenor and timeless sense of songcraft.  
   
Stripped of the cowboy hat and expectations, Watson has emerged as a songwriter of rare  
depth and truth. His new work stands proudly alongside the folk canon he has long  
championed - songs that remind us of our shared burdens, resilience and the possibility of  
renewal.  
   
This March, Love Police proudly presents Willie Watson as he returns Down Under for the  
tenth or so time. Supporting Willie Watson on his Australian journey is Melbourne-based guilt  
slinger, song singer, chain blinger **A.C. Saunders**. 

This is one evening with Willie Watson that you won’t wanna miss!
