Sunday afternoons in winter are perfect for a concert from local legend Luke Watt.

Luke Watt is a folk/blues singer-songwriter and guitar player. With influences including Chris Whitley, Richard Thompson and Kelly Joe Phelps, he draws on elements of folk and blues to convey stories both dark and uplifting.

He has appeared at festivals including the Gympie Music Muster, The Port Fairy Folk Festival and the Queenscliff Music Festival as well as several tours across Europe.

His most recent work with friend Nigel Wearne in 2022 titled "Above The Bit" was described by Rhythms Magazine as..."The finest Australian roots music album this reviewer has heard so far this year." The record was subsequently nominated for both a Victorian Music Award for Best Folk Work, as well as an Australian Folk Music Award for Best Contemporary Work.

2024 sees the release of Luke's 4th solo recording. Produced by Aria Award winner Jeff Lang, and featuring Danny McKenna on drums and Steve Hadley on bass, the self titled record is a vivid musical conversation, sonically spacious, with room for each of the three musicians to speak. Captured in whole live takes, the trio weave their way through stories of small town mistakes, the question of determinism and tales of folk rebels on the run.

Luke's show at the Bridge will be a trio performance with Steve Hadley and Danny McKenna.
