Two of Australia’s finest singer songwriters will be in concert for the first time at The Imperial Hotel in Eumundi on Friday 31 May.
Reviewing Mike McClellan, much loved music critic, the late Ed Nimmervoll wrote, “You can have your John Denvers, Gordon Lightfoots and Ross Ryans. Put Mike McClellan in there and there’s no competition.”
When American folk icon Judy Collins says, “Ami Williamson is a genius, my favourite act at the Port Fairy Folk Music Festival!” you can assume Ami is also pretty damned good.
Ami Williamson is a rare performer.
Classically trained in music and theatre, her musical instincts also draw on the folk music she loved growing up as the daughter of iconic Aussie singer songwriter John Williamson.
She writes, plays several instruments, sings like a dream and absolutely owns the stage.
Mike McClellan is one of the finest songwriter/guitarists this country has produced with a string of iconic songs that have seeped into the musical identity of Australia, notably of course, Song and Dance Man, by which he has been for ever identified.
That he also happens to be a very fine guitarist/singer is a given who, as reviewer Steve Britt recently wrote, “holds the audience in the palm of his hand.”
Put the two of them in concert together and you have a unique combination of two remarkable talents who, at the end of the evening, will share the stage to perform some of the classic songs they love from the folk era.
