Williams continues his
international rise with his debut US TV performance on Conan overnight backed
by his band The Yarra Benders.
Williams received huge praise from the legendary US comedian after the performance,
O’Brien telling him “come back any time, I’m a huge fan”.
This performance comes off the back of Williams’s recent appearance on Later…with
Jools Holland in the UK, and the Late
Late Show in Ireland.
Williams has also announced a huge North American tour for September/October, which
includes Austin City Limits Festival and headline shows at legendary venues
like The Troubadour and Bowery Ballroom. He will also be joined by Sydney
indie-folk act Julia Jacklin for all headline shows.
He also returns to Australia briefly in July for the Sunday at Splendour In The
Grass, alongside Longitude and Latitude Festivals in the UK.
It has been a mammoth 12 months for the New Zealand native, winning Best Male
and Breakthrough Artist at the New Zealand Music Awards, picking up nominations
for the ARIA’s, AMP and Taite Music Prize, and touring the world several times
over, building a loyal global fan base and picking up love from tastemakers like
NPR, KEXP, KCRW, 3voor12, BBC6, Jools Holland and now Conan.
Williams will also be on the big screen for the first time this year, when he
features in Kiwi film The
Rehearsal, which will premiere at the New Zealand International
Film Festival. Based on the first book by Man Booker prize-winner Eleanor Catton
and Directed by Alison Maclean, it is Williams second acting gig since starring
in The Beautiful Lie on ABC last year.
