SUMMARY:Will Day Duo

Surviving a decade as a full-time country artist\, providing for his family by performing up to 250 gigs \neach year\, is an achievement that Will Day is proud of. Growing up in the small rural town of Goondiwindi and sewing his\nmusical roots there has instilled a humble\, dedicated work ethic and one that is destined to continue throughout his\nmusical career.\nAustralia’s eastern seaboard has hosted the now Brisbane-based artist for much of the last few years as his star continues\nto rise in the country music scene. This modern-day performer has enjoyed an exciting start to his career and has achieved\na swag of impressive milestones. His talent and hard work ethic have led him to tour extensively with country music artist\nCol Finley.\n“I rate Will Day as one of Australia’s most energetic live shows in today’s music industry. He is going to really stamp his\nmark on this industry with his honest\, edgy and just down home country”\, Country artist Col Finley.\nWill grew up listening to some of the great musical influences of our time on family road trips where his parents would\nplay the likes of James Taylor\, The Eagles\, Paul Kelly and Cat Stevens. Will fondly recalls ‘Father and Son’ as the first song he\nperformed in public when he was 14 in a local talent quest. A pivotal turning point was discovering Keith Urban in his\nteenage years and it was then that Will decided that country music was where he needed to be. Other country influences\nfollowed including Allan Jackson and Garth Brooks before discovering the rich depth of talent we have here in Australia\,\nartists such as Travis Collins. It’s from these artists\, Will made country music his own.\nWill’s early career offered releases such as Seasons\, the award winning first single off his debut EP released late 2016\,\nwhich enjoyed time in the Top 10 on the iTunes chart.\nThe tide was turning in 2017 where Will toured internationally to New Zealand.

That same year also saw Will win the Male Rising\nStar Awards at the Southern Stars Independent Country Music Awards in Mildura\, Victoria.\nIn October 2017\, Will released his single ‘The Country Life’\, which reached the Top 10 on Australian Country Radio\, was\nrecorded and produced by Benji Pocock at Vibetone Studios and co-written with Troy Kemp\, Damien Baguley and Col\nFinley. The track came together in an hour after hearing the chorus idea from Damien Baguley and Troy Kemp and told the\ntale of dropping the city life for a weekend and getting out into the country.\nWill has been described by peers in the country music industry as one of the hardest working artists they know. 2018 alone\nsaw him travel some 50\,000kms touring regional NSW\, ACT along with North and Central QLD. A definite crowd favourite\ncan be put down to his vibrant\, energetic stage presence and willingness to give it his all every time he hits the stage. He\nhas opened for the likes of Morgan Evans\, Shannon Noll\, Icehouse\, Diesel\, The Whitlams\, Hoodoo Gurus\, The Baby\nAnimals\, The Black Sorrows\, Kingswood\, Col Finley and The Viper Creek Band while also appearing at some of Australia’s\nmost popular country music festivals\, including Tamworth Country Music Festival\, Groundwater Country Music Festival\nand Gympie Music Muster.\n2019 was a breakout year for Will\, where he enjoyed nine straight shows at Tamworth Country Music Festival\, entertaining\ncrowds at West Diggers. In March\, he released his next single ‘The Real World’ (co-written with Matt Scullion) which reached\nnumber 1 on Australian Country Radio.

Other highlights included performing at Groundwater\nCountry Music Festival and performing on the main stage at The Gympie Music Muster in the talent search Grand Final.\nWill commenced 2020 with a bang performing to capacity filled shows at ‘Late Nights’ at West Diggers at Tamworth\nCountry Music Festival along with a full media schedule before touring suddenly shut down when the Covid19 pandemic\nhit musicians hard.\nAfter spending a few months enjoying family life and in perfect
