The three-time ARIA nominee, Golden Guitar winner and Deadlys Award winner has been a professional musician for the past 20 years but says music has been in his blood since he was born in Central Australia. He remembers coming cross-country with his dad the legendary and late Gus Williams to the iconic Tamworth Country Music Festival where the family would play to audiences along the way and then in Peel Street and other venues. He and his dad are among the only father and son to have been honoured by making their mark in the Hands of Fame in Tamworth. Warren toured for 15 years with John Williamson after they paired up to sing Raining on the Rock, which has became an anthem for reconciliation in Australia. This pairing changed Warren’s life as a musician. He went from performiung in and around Alice Springs and his home of Hermannsburg in the Northern Territory, to performing under bright lights on international stages in America and New Zealand as well as all over Australia. Warren has released nine albums and played with the likes of the late Dr Jimmy Little, Greg Champion, Troy Cassar-Daley, Johnny Chester, Pixie Jenkins and Ted Egan. In May 2012, Warren H Williams was recognised with Australia’s highest peer-assessed award, the Red Ochre by the Australia Council.
