Hot off the heels of his debut self-titled album, Watty Thompson barn stomps into the Triple R Performance Space with his Total Fire Band for Live at RRR this Friday 21 July. Hosted by Denise Hylands of Twang.

There’s nothing quite like a Watty Thompson hoedown! In 2023 the Bush Balladeer cemented himself firmly in the Antipodean songbook with his life-affirming self-titled debut album. Set against a backdrop of unique rollicking country and rugged folk, Watty's storytelling is steeped in pathos and wit and designed to be sung en masse. His album launch at a sold out Estonian House was a "bush dance for the ages", alongside his Total Fire Band, underpinning the empathy and community spirit that make his music connect with such force.

First Nations people can email firstnations@rrr.org.au to RSVP to attend.

You can also listen to the performance live via FM, digital, online and via the Triple R app.
