Michael Waugh is a revered songwriter, a compelling live performer and an extraordinary storyteller. Among his admirers are Josh Cunningham from The Waifs, iconic singer-songwriter Eric Bogle, ARIA and Golden Guitar winner Fanny Lumsden and alt. country luminary Shane Nicholson. Michael has been the recipient of many awards including Folk and Roots album of the Year (Music Victoria Awards), Songs of Peace and Tolerance award (Pt. Fairy Folk Festival) and Heritage Song of the Year (Golden Guitar Awards). His new album ‘Beauty & Truth’ paints vivid, joyous, funny and loving pictures of growing up queer in rural Australia.
“If you give Beauty &Truth thirty seven minutes of your day, the emotional return-on-investment is off the charts: proof positive that whoever you are, you’re not the only one.”
Alan Cackett - Americana, Country, Roots & Bluegrass Review U.K.
