Watty's still-young history of performances has captivated audiences around Victoria and there are plenty more on the horizon. Following 2021's celebrated debut single 'The Beauty That Surrounds Ya, Watty has just released his second single, 'Jenny', taken from the forthcoming debut album.
Fenn Wilson’s lyrics turn pain into poetry, laced with light; compassion and wisdom beyond his years imbue every line. He is mesmerising on stage, either solo or surrounded by his skilled and sensitive
sidemen, creating thunderstorm dynamics reminiscent of Jeff Buckley. Fenn’s songcraft is astounding. Memorable hooks abound, without a trace of gimmick or cliché.....and then there’s his voice. He has just released a second single, 'Laying With The Bones', taken his forthcoming sophomore album.
