About this concert
The Distant South are a 5 piece AltCountry band, based in Melbourne. They throw the sounds of Country, Folk, Blues and Soul into the fiery pit of angst and heartache to deliver captivating performances of melancholic….yet somehow uplifting songs. With 2 EP’s and a full length album under their belt, The Distant South continue to write and head back into the studio in 2025 to deliver their second Album. Patrick WilsonIt’s not often that audiences witness an artist whose output is so grounded, personable, and heartrendingly honest. As it happens, there’s a distinct warmth and benevolence sewn deep within the lining of Wilson’s craft. Wilson’s rich, even-flowing voice tempts light to even the darkest corners of rooms and implores us, above all, to place trust in the hands of its owner. Make no mistake: Patrick Wilson is a man of his word. A true musician of the rarest skill, he remains in demand as a drummer and long-time guitarist for a conglomeration of Australian acts including Fanny Lumsden, Henry Wagons Georgia State Line, Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes, Ben Mastwyk and his Millions and many more.Patrick Wilson’s Debut LP It’ll Be Alright is out through Cheersquad Records and Tapes now

Patrick Wilson Biography
“Patrick Wilson is a twang assassin. Beneath his polite, disarming and charming exterior he is a multi-faceted musical ninja, capable of cutting through your heart-strings with a single turn of phrase or a twist of melodic flare.”
- Henry Wagons
There’s a tender, unmistakable charm that lingers in the work of natural-born storyteller, Patrick Wilson. Rich in craftsmanship, Wilson’s trademark sound and approach to songwriting are gifts only strengthened by the life he breathes into performance.
His is a befitting narrative. It was in 2010 that Wilson, a Torquay tragic and lover of community life decided once-and-for-all to satiate his own creative hunger. Channeling the intricate romanticism of a small-town upbringing into writing, recording, and a debut EP, Ryan the Moth (2013), Wilson began the painstakingly slow but ultimately revolutionary process of personal reinvention.
It’s not often that audiences witness an artist whose output is so grounded, personable, and heartrendingly honest. As it happens, there’s a distinct warmth and benevolence sewn deep within the lining of Wilson’s craft. We’ve seen it with the likes of Marlon Williams, Kacey Musgraves and Roy Orbison, all stars in their own right, but it’s in Patrick Wilson that this unique class of alternative, old-time Americana finds its true north.
Wilson’s rich, even-flowing voice tempts light to even the darkest corners of rooms and implores us, above all, to place trust in the hands of its owner. Make no mistake: Patrick Wilson is a man of his word.
A true musician of the rarest skill, he remains in demand as a drummer and long-time guitarist for a conglomeration of Australian acts including Georgia State Line (From Down Here, October 2019), Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes, and Ben Mastwyk and his Millions. Wilson has - in newfound resonance alongside his band supported The Bellamy Brothers (USA) and Australian country heavyweight, Bill Chambers (Dead Ringer Band), and has appeared onstage alongside Small Town Romance, Bill Chambers and Georgia State Line at Tamworth Country Music Festival, Deni Ute Muster, Gympie Music Muster, Red Country Music Festival, and more.
“I heard Patrick Wilson sing for the first time in a small studio in Melbourne. His voice and his songs just blew me away,” Bill Chambers once offered.
It’s fair enough, too, because here is a reborn and beautifully mature musician now hell-bent on satisfying our cravings for a damned good tune. It’s in Wilson and his craft that we arrive home.
