Danny Widdicombe 
Danny Widdicombe is a Brisbane-based songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist whose career has been defined by creative restlessness, a deep reverence for musical storytelling, and an unshakable resilience that has seen him triumph over extraordinary personal challenges. Known for his warm stage presence and his ability to move effortlessly between genres, Danny has carved out a singular place in Australian music across folk, country, jazz, and ambient soundscapes. Danny first emerged on the national stage through his work with the beloved alt-country band The Wilson Pickers, with whom he has been nominated for three ARIA Awards. Danny's songwriting skill has also been recognised individually: he is a two-time Queensland Music Awards winner and the recipient of the prestigious Grant McLennan Memorial Fellowship and has appeared at all of the major music festivals around the country.

They have composed songs for choirs and conducted workplace songwriting and performance projects in association with the Qld Council of Unions.
