Troubadour Central Coast will present two top Australian musicians at a special concert on May 25.
Ami Williamson and Nerida Cuddy will combine to delight audiences.
Williamson is the amazingly talented and very funny daughter of John Williamson, excelling in pretty much every branch of music you could think of.
Both her grandparents were classical singers and sang duets for ABC Radio in the 1930-60s.
She grew up listening to her grandparents sing at home and on stage in musicals and classical oratorio.
Williamson pursued classical training as a singer/multi-instrumentalist, graduating from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Ensemble Acting Studios.
She then won awards and scholarships overseas which led to her pursuing further classical studies in Germany and performing across Europe.
But it was her father’s songwriting that brought a creativity to the vocal tradition of the Williamsons.
She contrived a way of combining music and theatre.
Williamson has performed for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and toured nationally with folk icon Eric Bogle.
She has played major festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival as well completing several national tours and regular cruises.
Williamson will be supported by singer-songwriter Nerida Cuddy from Canowindra in the NSW central west.
Fresh from a tour of the NSW outback, she captures stories of our time in finely crafted lyrics and emotive melodies.
Performed from the heart with a social conscience and a sense of humour, her songs reflect emotional depth, breathing the landscape of rural Australia.
The concert will be at 7pm on Saturday, May 25 at the Everglades Club, Woy Woy.
