About
Content Source: OztixKarl S. Williams and Sally Wiggins make music that is steeped in blues, gospel and old-time folk, with poetic sensibilities that call to mind the classic singer-songwriters of yesteryear. With a voice that sounds about a thousand years old, Karl moves between guitar, piano and banjo while Sally holds it down on the kit with rhythms drawing from fife and drum music, New Orleans clave and her wealth of jazz and Afro influences.
At this show they are excited to be performing material from their debut release Araluen // Dargiin which was recorded at Frying Pan Studios inside MONA, Tasmania with Chris Townend (Portishead, Silverchair) in early 2025. The record is comprised of two distinct sides; side one Araluen is five new tracks, while side two Dargiin contains five duo versions of songs from Karls solo album Rainbows in the Gasoline. Araluen is a Dhurga/Yuin word for a waterhole or water lily, while Dargiin is a Badtjala word for rainbow. These words were chosen to pay homage to Australias First Nations and the Countries to which Karl and Sally are each connected. As a whole, the album captures the roots of their collaboration and points the direction forward.
Karl and Sally are privileged to welcome Clare Cowley to open this show.
Clare is a musical story teller deeply grounded in the folk traditions learnt in her hometown, Allora. She toured second album 'Desire notes' through Queensland, Victoria & Tasmania in 2023. Awarded Highly Commended Finalist by the Queensland Music Awards for the 2024 Grant McLennan Fellowship, Clare is busy writing new material that will continue to charm audiences.
