Michael Waugh is an incredible Melbourne-based singer-songwriter in the storytelling tradition. His uniquely Australian country-inspired folk music evokes a heartfelt contemporary voice whilst still paying homage to the country music that he grew up with, referencing singers such as Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, and Kenny Rogers. His honest songs draw vivid images of Australian life - both of growing up in Victoria’s East Gippsland farming community and Melbourne’s inner city – tales of long family drives, building property fences, devastating bushfires, life, love and parenting. At the heart of every song is a story, and all 5 tracks on his new EP ‘Heyfied Girl’ are rich in the texture and detail of life. Michael’s gift is in taking the audience to a time and place that is immediately relatable and visceral through his beautiful music and a tear is never far away when he performs his title track about his mum’s battle with cancer and his fathers love for her.
