Long Live the Songwriter

Currently working on his seventh studio record, Will Varley has mastered the kind of songwriting that can transport you to another place entirely. In the case of his astonishing new album, he continues his decade long exploration of the human condition, while conjuring strange, beautiful landscapes where salt-crusted pebbles crunch underfoot and snow pours in through the roofs of abandoned tour buses. These songs are rich, lyrical tales that speak of universal truths, hard touring, and the rebuilding of minds. Over the last ten years Varley has earned the adoration of some of his most well known peers. Support from the likes of Billy Bragg, The Libertines, Adam Duritz and Frank Turner have helped spread Will’s music far and wide. His catalogue has clocked up over fifty million streams across Spotify and Apple music and as writer and producer he has worked with platinum selling, CMA award winning and Grammy award winning artists. Since his earliest days playing candle lit open mics in south London aged just 14, he has gone on to sell out headline shows across Europe and the US – performing on some of the world's most prestigious stages along the way such as The Royal Albert Hall and Glastonbury Festival. In 2024 Will signed a worldwide record deal with MNRK Music Group, home to The Lumineers, Mt. Joy and Gregory Alan Isakov.
