Biography
Wyatt Moss-Wellington
Wyatt Moss-Wellington is a progressive folk musician, an idiosyncratic vocalist and guitarist, a composer of humanistic narratives in songform and a swell bloke. He's currently based in Sydney, Australia, but his cross-continental travels have brought folk influences from all over the world into his songwriting. The borders of nationality are broken down in his work, and the characters in his songs reflect this changing world. By turns confessional, political, intimate, humorous, surprising and experimental, he is defined by versatility and diversity of subject matter and mood. His guitar work is explorative, virtuosic and damn good fun. Wyatt's live shows are a singular experience; he aims to do at least one Amazing Thing that he wasn't expected to do, per night. At least. Roll up and enjoy the show. Wyatt’s debut album, The Supermarket and the Turncoat, launched at the Excelsior Hotel in Surry Hills, Sydney in 2009. The Sydney Morning Herald’s John Shand said of the debut, “Challenging preconceptions of song structure, guitar and vocal techniques, subject matter and stylistic homogeneity … the listener is bounced between satire and aching tendernes, power chords and delicate finger-picking - sometimes all within one line! Moss-Wellington makes most of his peers sound like they have never fully considered the breadth of options open to them. This is an auspicious debut.” Attention Editors: Please contact Meredith Emmanuel at meredith@ebcoms.com or on +61 4-07-490-750 to arrange for review copies of The Supermarket and the Turncoat, interviews, appearances and artwork.
