About Willie and The Correspondents
Friends Hugh Watson (rhythm guitar and vocals) and Phil Williams (blues harp and vocals) started their band West Texas Crude in 1994.
With the addition of Greg Turnbull (drums), Matthew Herbert (multi-instrumentalist and vocals) and Peter MacDonald (bass) the band became Willie and The Correspondents. The name is a nod to Willie Nelson and Correspondents, as most members had worked in or around the Press Gallery.
As well as covers of country/rock music, the band plays original songs penned by Herbert and Watson such as Dear Leader’s Country Band and Sons of the Somme. The group has released three albums, the most recent in 2023.
Willie and the Correspondents will be playing in the beautiful Terroux gardens with views of the Brindabellas.
