In 2021 Australian music icon John Williamson will celebrate his 51st anniversary in the entertainment industry and foresee closing the book on his regular touring.
When John Williamson wandered into Richmond's GTV9 studios in 1970 with a guitar under his arm, little did the Mallee farmer realise he'd make a 50+-year career out of singing and performing. His performance of 'Old Man Emu', the first song John had ever written, on Channel Nine's popular New Faces program resulted in a number one single and a record deal. It also marked the appearance of a striking new talent: an unofficial custodian of Australian stories.
With his honours including the ARIA Hall of Fame, an Order of Australia, 28 Golden Guitar Awards, Australian Roll of Renown induction, not to mention over 5 million albums sold and thousands of shows performed, it's hard to begrudge the 75-year-old a less hectic schedule. First though, there's a 51sth anniversary to celebrate.
Perhaps John's greatest legacy is making Australians proud of their country and of who they are. So, don't miss him, True Blue himself, in your town or city for what could be the final time.
