Will Varley* ARTIST SPOTLIGHT *
Introducing terrific troubadour: Will Varley
Goody, we’ve got him. Songster Will Varley is coming to join us for the first time and we’re shivering with anticipation. On the day – he ain’t going to be in LA or Nashville – he’s going to be with us! Please join us in giving him a warm Baa welcome!
Not many songwriters can lay claim to having a track on an album alongside covers of Muddy Waters, Sheryl Crow and Robert Johnson. Varley can. It was To Build A Wall, on The Pretty Things’ final studio album.
Not many songwriters can polish their nails in the knowledge that they can count among their fervent fans the likes of Phil May, Billy Bragg, Skin from Skunk Anansie and Adam Duritz from Counting Crows.
His songs are compelling, often-funny monologues that make you smile wryly, chuckle, laugh out loud, or look down at your shoes in reflection as you recognise yourself.
Varley tours a lot. He’s opened for Frank Turner, Valerie June and The Proclaimers. His music videos have clocked up millions of views on YouTube and his catalogue of recorded albums has surpassed a staggering 30,000,000 streams on Spotify alone. He’s also received airplay on BBC 6 Music and Channel 4.
Will's seventh studio album, Machines Will Never Learn to Make Mistakes Like Me, came out in May 2025, snatching number 4 in the official UK Americana charts.
Look forward to your musings, Will!
