From the moment you first hear Australian singer-songwriter Clint Wilson sing, you’ll instantly feel deeply connected to his music. The folk/alt-country artist transforms life’s small moments into worlds within each song, inviting the listener to bring their own emotions and memories along for the ride.

 

Developing a love for seminal songwriters like Johnny Cash, Paul Kelly, Patsy Cline, and Slim Dusty, while learning both guitar and piano as a child, he was seemingly pre-determined to become a singer-songwriter. Life had other plans, however, and he only found his way to songwriting as an adult. Combining his musical and non-musical skills, he recorded his first album in a Melbourne studio after exchanging his plastering expertise for studio time. Making up for lost time, Clint’s released three studio albums to date, while also collaborating with the likes of country artist Billie Jo-Porter and Americana musician Gretta Ziller.

 

His most recent album, 2023’s L.A., pays homage to the city where it was recorded. Working alongside Grammy-nominated producer Callum Barter (Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile) and Paul Bushnell, the album came together in Barter’s home studio, which Wilson helped build. Returning with his Australian band in tow six months later, the album is full of the honesty and sincerity that only great singer-songwriters can muster, taking influence from his American surroundings while staying true to his Australian roots.

 

A true performer at heart, Clint’s previously played at the world-renowned Tamworth Country Music Festival, while also supporting the likes of Kevin Bennet, The Flood, and Andrew Swift. Backed by a trusted band made up of family members, and friends both old and new. It’s in a live setting where Clint’s music is extra potent, having spent a lifetime refining his stagecraft in bands of all shapes and sizes. Having wowed audiences across Australia, international touring is in his sights over the next 12 months and beyond.

 

Looking forward to the rest of 2025, and Wilson’s preparing to share his next album with the world, releasing the project independently through his new label, Big Stretch. Once again, he’s recorded the heartfelt project in a studio he built himself (though this time, the studio, which he’s dubbed Ziggy Tone, is thankfully a bit closer to home). The first taste of the new record, ‘Melbourne In The Winter Time’, sees Clint venture into more rock-centric waters. It tells a tale close to home, taking inspiration from a phone conversation with his wife while on the road playing in Newcastle. With a slew of shows to follow, as well as more music, you can expect to see Clint on a stage near you. Come prepared, because he’ll take you on a trip down memory lane, while also shining a light on the joys of life that lie ahead.
