Fields and forests and festivals beckon - including soon, Mariposa Festival, where the multi-faceted Tom Wilson will perform. Looking forward to this one. A few years back Wilson didn’t have a mid-life crisis so much as had one thrust upon him. As an artist he met it all head on, sharing his journey in his new album ‘Mohawk’ and a autobiography, ‘Beautiful Scars’.
“It’s a story of adoption, of growing up thinking you’re a big, sweaty, Irish guy, and finding out at the age of 53 that you’re a Mohawk.,” he says in a press release.
Check out Lee Harvey Osmond as well as The Building, Pram, Pup, Leaf Rapids, Ada Lea, Dan Moxon and The Contortionist.
