Australian icon, singer and songwriter John Williamson will perform two special concerts in May at Melbourne’s Crown Casino accompanied by Orchestra Victoria.

Having just released his latest live CD and DVD John Williamson: In Symphony, recorded in late 2010 before a capacity audience at the Sydney Opera House, the multi award-winning artist is preparing to return to the stage with one of the country’s most celebrated orchestras.

‘I can’t wait for my Victorian mates from all around Melbourne to hear my songs with Orchestra Victoria. I know the orchestra will have fun playing my music, as they did in Sydney. It’s something different for them. And don’t worry, the campfire and my stomp box will still be on stage with me; along with guitarist legend Col Watson,’ said John Williamson.

The live concerts on Friday May 20th (8pm) and Saturday May 21st (8pm) will be delivered before what are expected to be sell-out audiences.
