Michael Waugh

After a time of loss and heartbreak the master songwriter delivers a deeply personal album – dark, harrowing & distinctly Australian – but ultimately healing.

Written and produced through the time of Melbourne’s COVID lockdown, the emotional core of the album is Waugh’s tribute to his parents who both died within 6 weeks of each other, just before Melbourne’s first lockdown in 2020. ‘He Taught Me’, ‘Hold on to the Ones You Love’ and ‘Too Many Drawers’ are heart rending, deftly told stories about Waugh’s parents, as he tries to come to terms with their loss. ‘Waugh-heads’ have already come to know and love John and Eileen Waugh as the Dairy Farmer and Heyfield Girl whose stories have lived large in Michael’s first three albums. The Cast is Waugh’s artistic exploration of being broken and learning to heal again.

Supported by duo Grand Baxter.
