Wil Thomas & The Riding Light
Dust from the fretboard of folk and rock, with a nod towards the blues, Wil Thomas is a journeyman and a storyteller, a laconic troubadour and the kind of artist you yearn to have at your campfire…
With his tales of Bush Rangers and modern-day political gangsters, Thomas sings of redemption, love and revolution. Weaving stories from a stormy Celtic coastline all the way to the blood-red dirt of the Kimberley.
Thomas’ quest for the story in song is passionate and single-minded. His sophomore album ‘Provenance’ was nominated for an Australian music prize, while his 3rd album ‘The Riding Light’, continues to build on the poetry and swagger of his debut, ‘Fisherman’s Bend.’
