MICHAEL WAUGH LIVE AT DOO-BOP

w/ Special guest, Camille Trail 

Michael Waugh is a songwriter’s songwriter, a compelling live performer and an extraordinary storyteller. Among his admirers are the legendary Eric Bogle, alt, Shane Nicholson and Josh Cunningham from The Waifs. Michael’s latest album The Cast, released in August 2021, won a Golden Guitar award for Heritage Song of the Year (Dirty River), and a nomination for Alt Country Album of the Year.

His 2019 album The Weir received two Golden Guitar nominations  – Male Artist of the Year and Alt Country Album of the Year – as well as a nomination at the 2020 Victorian Music awards.

Michael’s insightful tributes to friends, family and parenthood are simultaneously deeply personal and nationally recognisable; we see our own brothers, parents, pubs, rivers, struggles and joys reflected in the faces of those characters who live large in Michaels songs. 

“When Michael Waugh opens his mouth, you should listen”. Andrew McMillen – The Australian

“Over the course of three previous albums Michael Waugh has established himself as one of Australia’s finest songwriters. With The Cast he ups the bar even further and then leaps over it. This album is right up there with the Swans 2005 Premiership team in terms of class, ability, character, depth, emotional content and sheer breathtaking displays of talent. I don’t offer higher praise.” Stuart Coupe – Author, music commentator and radio presenter

“Michael Waugh inhabits the characters and places in his songs with accuracy and sensitivity. Experiencing his new record, made me feel like I’d encountered something that had genuinely made me a better, more empathetic person.” Josh Cunningham – The Waifs
