Whether you?re talking about her as a songwriter, guitarist or vocalist, one thing is indisputable: Terra Lightfoot is a ferocious talent.
2015?s Every Time My Mind Runs Wild marked the artist?s arrival as a striking songwriter and compelling live performer. 2017 brought two new albums: the orchestral collaboration Live in Concert and her third studio album, New Mistakes. On the latter, Lightfoot offers up something rare: the kind of genuine document that can only come from a road-tested breed of songwriter and performer. Shot through with the guitarist-vocalist?s powerful, bluesy soul, vivid lyrics and ferocious six-string virtuosity, it?s an unforgettable outing ? one that has won praise from the likes of No Depression, Pop Matters, Guitar Player, Twangville, and The Boot, and earned a nomination for a 2018 JUNO Award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year.
?If you haven?t seen Terra Lightfoot perform live, then do yerself a favour and get a ticket next time she?s in town. Lightfoot is the total package: she can write a hooky tune, rip through a blistering guitar solo and sing the hell out of any song she likes.? CBC Music ?Canada?s Terra Lightfoot has a huge voice and a big and gutsy guitar tone to match.? Guitar Player
?Ms. Lightfoot?s voice is as dominant as ever, straddling Memphis soul and urban blues with ease, and boy? can she write a song? No Depression
?New Mistakes is Lightfoot?s most accomplished music yet? PopMatters

3 x CMAA ?Golden Guitar? and 2021 Australian Folk Music and Music Victoria Award winners The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery. They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil, murder and decay.
That kind of description might make them sound like some carefully contrived concept-act but there?s something truly different about The Weeping Willows: they really mean it?
2017-2021 saw The Weeping Willows nominated for 10 x CMAA ?Golden Guitar? awards, 4 x Country Music Channel (CMC) awards, 2 x Australian Folk Music Awards (AFMAs), Live Act of the Year (Country) in the National Live Music Awards (NLMAs), performing at AmericanaFest (USA), Folk Alliance International (USA), Maverick Festival (UK), Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Out On The Weekend and the Australian Americana Music Honours. In recent years they have supported Lukas Nelson & POTR (USA), Hayes Carll (USA), Iris DeMent (USA), Eilen Jewell (USA) and Willie Watson (USA) and completed national and international tours in support of their sophomore album, Before Darkness Comes A-Callin?, which received four-star reviews in Rolling Stone, The Australian and The
Music. A Weeping Willows performance, whether live on location or caught on tape will always delight.
