Overview

Acclaimed New Zealand singer/songwriter Marlon Williams comes to QPAC for the first time ever with a special one-night-only concert celebrating the release of his new album, My Boy.

Hot on the heels of his stunning 2018 album Make Way For Love, featuring hit singles “What’s Chasing You” and “Party Boy”, Williams has returned anew.

Often compared to Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison and Elvis, Williams has the unique ability to traverse genres on both his award-winning records, and in his famously captivating live shows.

It has led Williams around the world in recent years, appearing on Conan, Jools Holland, film roles in A Star Is Born, The True History of the Kelly Gang, Lone Wolf, and current Netflix series Sweet Tooth, tours with Bruce Springsteen, Eagles and Florence + The Machine, and duets with Lorde, Courtney Barnett, and Brandi Carlile.

His third solo album My Boy parlays this flush of worldly experience into a vivid, dynamic record as spirited, complex and kinetic as the unfolding life of its performer.

Don’t miss this extraordinary evening of music and storytelling in the iconic Concert Hall.

I’ve always explored different character elements in my music and I think the more I get into acting, the more tricks I’m learning about representation and presentation. I’m trying to make my world’s feed into each other as much as possible. To get braver and bolder with exploring shifting contexts and new ways of doing things.
