Marlon Williams Tickets

From humble beginnings in Lyttleton, a tiny town on New Zealand’s South Island, Marlon Williams’ sonorous voice rings out like a beacon. It has the power of his home country’s rugged landscape and the fragility of its lonely heart. Williams draws on American folk and country traditions for sure — somewhere between Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison and Chris Isaak (he even showed up in A Star Is Born) — but he can also sing in te reo Māori about a tiny, yellow-eyed penguin and make you cry. A once-in-a-generation talent with a voice that crosses continents, filling the Comedy Theatre on Thursday and Friday night.
