William Crighton is launching his new album Empire this Friday, September 21 at Creatures NextDoor in Fremantle. He will be supported by acclaimed local songwriter Timothy Nelson for a live show encompassing new and old work.
Empire sees Crighton expanding his powerful sound into sprawling new planes.”I wanted to experiment further and create more sounds, create different soundscapes and explore that avenue further than I had previously,” Crighton explains. “The shows will be a new experience. There’ll be songs from both Empire and my first album and songs we only play live.”
As is tradition, a live William Crighton show is never a repetition of a previous one. Joining Crighton and his wife Julieanne will be Josh Jones from Dan Sultan’s band on bass and his good mate and collaborator Matt Sherrod (from Crowded House and Beck fame), who produced the album, travelling all the way from Nashville to play drums.
