Join us for a very special dinner + show with singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Wilkinson, as he celebrates the release of his forthcoming album "Wild & Hunted Things" with a tour across the country.
With a career that spans over a decade, Wilkinson has cemented himself as one of Australia’s premiere acts with his soul stirring live performances and evocative songwriting. After building a global fanbase on the back of his busking roots in Sydney's streets, the troubadour has amassed over 150 million streams on Spotify, sold in excess of 80,000 physical albums and packed out headline shows across the world. As a support act he's shared stages with Brian Wilson, Rodriguez, Xavier Rudd, The Whitlams and Seal to name just a few.
Set for release on July 4th, his new album "Wild & Hunted Things" is a hybrid of eloquent folk, evocative indie and enigmatic pop brought to life at the fabled Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg Sweden.
"For me, Wild & Hunted Things represent those magical parts of life that make us feel enriched and energized. This record is written about trying to nurture and preserve those things whilst navigating life's inevitable challenges and hardships that can endanger your spirit." - Mark Wilkinson
A natural storyteller, Wilkinson’s songs find inspiration in life's perpetual shifts and in the joy, hardships and triumphs that result. Infused with a voice drenched in soul, this is music that reaches out and strikes listeners at their emotional core.
"Sometimes you catch a voice that makes your heart just soar and Mark Wilkinson has one of those voices. So emotive, so moving..." (Americana Highways)
“There's a glow of warmth around him and a richness to his supreme voice, sending shivers down spines as he pulls you into the soul of him” (Hazel Buckley - The Music)
