CELEBRATING CHRIS WILSON
Widely known as ‘Australian Blues royalty’, Melbourne musician Chris Wilson was an Australian blues and roots musician who sang and played harmonica, saxophone and guitar. He performed as part of the Sole Twisters, Harem Scarem and Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls, and fronted his band Crown of Thorns. Wilson's solo albums are Landlocked (June 1992), The Long Weekend (March 1998), Spiderman (2000), King for a Day (July 2002), Flying Fish (2012) and the self titled Chris Wilson (2018).
A pancreatic cancer diagnoses in 2018 led to Chris' death at 62 in January 2019.
Celebrating Chris is his wife Sarah Carroll. Sarah is an individual who simply oozes musicality: a gorgeous, soulful singer, a beautiful instrumentalist, and someone who has an intrinsic understanding of all manner of roots music. Her songs chime with sincerity and deal largely with her experiences as a teacher, mother, wife, political animal and touring musician, and her new solo album NQR&B, out through Cheersquad Records & Tapes, is a collection which celebrates her great loves and her singular life.
