You don't have to be a Mumford fan to catch him.
He is out here as a part of the massive Mumford & Sons tour that is heading all around the country real soon, as well as their very awesome Gentlemen Of The Road festival and today Willy Mason has announced two intimate solo dates for those people who want another dose of his magical songwriting or just aren't interested in hitting one of the aforementioned shows.
Mason has also confirmed that his third record - and first in five years -Carry On,will be released in Australia on Friday 30 November through Fiction Records/Universal. The record is said to be the culmination of a loose narrative that Mason kicked off with his sensational debutWhere The Humans Eatback in 2004, a narrative he says is based on himself. He's ready to close the door on that now, and you can be among the first to hear how he's doing that when he plays the following dates.
Monday 22 October - The Vanguard, Sydney
Wednesday 24 October - The Toff in Town, Melbourne
