SUMMARY:Will Varley w/ Will Lawrence
LOCATION:Eddie's Attic
DESCRIPTION:**Will Varley live at Eddie's Attic!**\n\nWhen the late\, great
  Phil May of The Pretty Things (cited as a major influence by both David B
 owie and Jimmy Hendrix) began curating songs for what would become the ban
 d’s final studio album\, amongst covers of songs by Muddy Waters\, Shery
 l Crow and Robert Johnson\, May included a song by British singer-songwrit
 er Will Varley. In becoming an avid fan of the troubadour from Kent he joi
 ned an army of followers that has been growing steadily across the globe f
 or last ten years and includes the likes of Billy Bragg\, Skin from Skunk 
 Anansie and Adam Duritz from Counting Crows\, all of whom consider Will to
  be one of the best songwriters of his generation.\n\nIn recent years Will
  has become a regular collaborator in the writing rooms of Nashville and L
 os Angeles\, co-writing songs with Grammy award winning and CMA winning ar
 tists from the heart of the country music world. But over the last few mon
 ths he has been holed up in his ramshackle studio\, deep in the Kentish wi
 lderness\, working away on his latest offering – a new album now firmly 
 on the horizon.\n\nThere is a sheer depth to Will’s writing that sets hi
 m apart\, and has propelled his music far and wide. From the Dylanesque\, 
 post-apocalyptic dystopia of 2021’s “Dreamland” to the captivating a
 nd ambitious “Weddings and Wars\,” in which he endeavours to compress 
 the entire history of the world into four minutes\, Varley’s songs seem 
 to transcend themselves\, marrying vivid imagery\, emotion and surrealism 
 to capture his musings in a way that is quite remarkable.\n\nWhen the worl
 d ground to a halt during the pandemic\, Varley refused to stand still. As
  well as writing his first novel\, Will honed his skills in the studio\, p
 roducing ‘Hit And Run’ for multi platinum artist Eagle Eye Cherry. He 
 also entered Nashville’s International Songwriting Competition (Judged b
 y Tom Waits and Coldplay amongst others)\, sending in his entry after a ni
 ght of lockdown drinking. Out of over 20\,000 entries Will’s song came 3
 rd.\n\nThe stage has been Varley’s constant companion\, from the open mi
 cs of south London to Shepherds Bush Empire and The Albert Hall. Over the 
 years he has toured relentlessly\, selling out shows across Europe and Ame
 rica\, and opening for Frank Turner\, Valerie June and The Proclaimers. Fu
 rther high praise from the likes of Tim Minchin\, Donovan\, and Simon Nico
 l of Fairport Convention have helped fan the flames\, as his audience cont
 inues 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 alb
 ums has surpassed a staggering 30\,000\,000 streams on Spotify alone.\n\nI
 n 2023 Will signed a worldwide record deal with US label MNRK Music Group
 \, who over the years have been home to the likes of Chuck Berry\, Townes 
 Van Zandt and The Lumineers. With a new team behind him and touring plans 
 being hatched for this summer and beyond\, Will is poised for an enormous 
 12 months ahead\, as he gears up for the release of his seventh studio alb
 um.\n\n\\--\n\nWill Lawrence Bio: Will Lawrence is a multi-instrumentalist
  and songwriter living and working in the Hudson Valley. He has released f
 our full-length albums of original music\, touring the United States and i
 nternationally extensively over the last decade. In addition to his solo p
 erforming\, Lawrence works as a touring and recording band member with man
 y other artists\, in including The Felice Brothers\, John Early\, Ryan Dav
 is and the Roadhouse Band\, Conor Oberst\, and many more. Most recently\, 
 Lawrence was cast as a band and cast member for John Early’s Emmy Nomina
 ted HBO special\, Now More Than Ever\, as well as charting on Rolling Ston
 e magazine’s Top Rock Albums of 2023 as a part of Ryan Davis and the Roa
