Introducing Marlon Williams & The Yarra Benders

Bluegrass and country troubadour Marlon Williams has announced a couple of headline shows that will debut his brand new live band.

Marlon Williams & The Yarra Benders will perform at the Kiwi-born artist's new home of the Yarra Hotel (he recently moved in upstairs) in Melbourne and Sydney's The Vanguard this December.

Williams and his band will be joined by Skyscraper Stan and Georgia Spain at the Melbourne gig, while Aldous Harding and Andy Golledge will open the Sydney show.

These headline shows coincide with a number of festival appearances Williams is locked in for including Jamgrass Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and Meredith Music Festival. Head to theGuide and The Music App for all his upcoming show details.
