Wil Thomas | Settlers Tavern

Wil Thomas is a journeyman and a storyteller, a laconic troubadour and the kind of artist you yearn to have at your campfire.

Thomas’ quest for the ‘story in song’ is passionate and single-minded. His sophomore album, ‘Provenance’ was nominated for an Australian music prize, while 2023 saw the release of his 3rd album ‘The Riding Light’. 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. Drawing from a melting pot of influences, from Dylan Thomas to Led Zeppelin, his work is heard on the airwaves of regional and community radio across Australia and in the Us, via The International Americana Music Program. He has worked with artists including Shane Howard, The Pigram Brothers, Missy Higgins and John Butler and epitomises all there is to love about raw, and relevant Australian music.
