A dusty blend of folk and rock, with a nod towards the blues, Wil Thomas is a journeyman and a storyteller, a laconic troubadour and the kind of artist you yearn to have at your campfire… 

With his tales of Bush Rangers and modern-day political gangsters, he sings of redemption, love and revolution. Weaving stories from a stormy Celtic coastline all the way to the blood-red dirt of the Kimberley. 

Thomas’ quest for the story in song is passionate and single-minded. His sophomore album ‘Provenance’ was nominated for an Australian music prize, while his 3rd album ‘The Riding Light’, continues to build on the poetry of his debut, ‘Fisherman’s Bend.’  

He has shared the stage with artists including, Shane Howard, Missy Higgins, The Pigram Brothers and John Butler and Draws from a melting pot of influences. From Dylan Thomas to Led Zeppelin, he epitomises all there is to love about raw and relevant Australian music.

About Young@HEART

The Young@HEART music program is held at Margaret River HEART every Monday morning from 10am to 11am. The program does not run on public holidays or when there is another major event in the foyer.

The initiative was developed to safely encourage participation in the arts among older residents (over 60s) during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Due to high interest, the free performances have since been opened to people of all ages. Nonetheless, the senior demographic still makes up the majority of the audience.
