Live Music Friday: Brett Wilson

Broome Music
Friday, August 28, 2026
5:00pm - 7:30pm
Free
Mangrove Hotel

This August, we're welcoming one of WA's most soulful storytellers - Margaret River singer-songwriter Brett Wilson. With 28 years of writing behind him, Brett brings a sound that's hard to pin down and impossible to forget - folk, reggae, gypsy grooves, and a voice with that unmistakable Dylanesque edge. He writes from a converted dairy on Cave's Road, surfs when he's not strumming, and fronts the gypsy ska band Freeway South when the mood strikes. This August, Brett's making his way up the WA coast on a mission to share his music. Catch him on the Bay Club lawns as the sun melts into Roebuck Bay - it's a set you won't want to miss. Bring your crew, grab a cold drink, and let the weekend begin.
