Set to celebrate an impressive five-decade long career that has been marked by numerous achievements and praise, multi-faceted performer Mark Williams has announced Now And Then; a special 50th anniversary show for fans in Sydney this November.
Taking place just weeks before the iconic performer tours the East Coast, fronting Dragon at this year’s Good Things Festival, Williams’ 50th anniversary show is a moment for fans to revisit one of New Zealand’s biggest success stories. For Williams, it is an opportunity to celebrate 50 years in the industry, and to take the audience on a journey – from then, all the way to now.
Bringing a blend of funk, rhythms, soul and rock to the stage, Williams is excited to be presenting this brand new solo show that aims to give the audience an insight into the sorts of sounds that have defined him as an artist over such an expansive period of time.
“I recently had the honour of supporting Boney M as a solo artist on their hugely successful tour across Australia and New Zealand, with sold out shows every night. It inspired me to create a new performance that re-establishes my presence as a solo artist and celebrates 50 years in this industry – a milestone for any artist.
Many might recognise my face but not know my name. Although nowadays, I’m more well-known as the lead singer of Dragon, most people aren’t familiar with the backstory of how I got here, or the journey that made me the artist I am today. Now, I have the chance to showcase my own voice again.” MARK WILLIAMS
