In becoming an avid fan of the troubadour from Kent he joined an army of followers th at has been growing steadily across the globe for last ten years and inclu des the likes of Billy Bragg\, Skin from Skunk Anansie and Adam Duritz fro m Counting Crows\, all of whom consider Will to be one of the best songwri ters of his generation.In recent years Will has become a regular collabora tor in the writing rooms of Nashville and Los Angeles\, co-writing songs w ith Grammy award winning and CMA winning artists from the heart of the cou ntry music world. But over the last few months he has been holed up in his ramshackle studio\, deep in the Kentish wilderness\, working away on his latest offering – a new album now firmly on the horizon.There is a sheer depth to Will’s writing that sets him apart\, and has propelled his mus ic far and wide. From the Dylanesque\, post-apocalyptic dystopia of 2021 ’s “Dreamland” to the captivating and ambitious “Weddings and Wars \,” in which he endeavours to compress the entire history of the world i nto four minutes\, Varley’s songs seem to transcend themselves\, marryin g vivid imagery\, emotion and surrealism to capture his musings in a way t hat is quite remarkable.When the world ground to a halt during the pandemi c\, Varley refused to stand still. As well as writing his first novel\, Wi ll honed his skills in the studio\, producing ‘Hit And Run’ for multi platinum artist Eagle Eye Cherry. He also entered Nashville’s Internatio nal Songwriting Competition (Judged by Tom Waits and Coldplay amongst othe rs)\, sending in his entry after a night of lockdown drinking. Out of over 20\,000 entries Will’s song came 3rd.The stage has been Varley’s cons tant companion\, from the open mics of south London to Shepherds Bush Empi re and The Albert Hall. Over the years he has toured relentlessly\, sellin g out shows across Europe and America\, and opening for Frank Turner\, Val erie June and The Proclaimers. Further high praise from the likes of Tim M inchin\, Donovan\, and Simon Nicol of Fairport Convention have helped fan the flames\, as his audience continues to grow both on the road and online . His self made music videos have clocked up millions of views on YouTube and his catalogue of recorded albums has surpassed a staggering 30\,000\,0 00 streams on Spotify alone.In 2023 Will signed a worldwide record deal wi th US label MNRK Music Group\, who over the years have been home to the li kes of Chuck Berry\, Townes Van Zandt and The Lumineers. With a new team b ehind him and touring plans being hatched for this summer and beyond\, Wil l is poised for an enormous 12 months ahead\, as he gears up for the relea se of his seventh studio album\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/event/ 708278 URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/3b19af3d-303f-447a-9924-45c0910de3 4e END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
