Three years after it was first planned, An Evening with Marlon Williams finally arrives in Adelaide (although his band did play a truncated set in late 2022 at Harvest Rock) to complete the tour, this final night ("show 41 of 41") added after the original Adelaide show sold out.

Don’t miss the whodunit that’s been keeping audiences guessing for 70 years

Transitioning from fronting a popular band to being a solo performer is a path well-travelled, but that’s not to say it’s a simple one. Many have tried and failed, but it’s those artists who really have something new to offer that can turn it into something exciting.

“I know we’re in 2023 but it’s not that bad. I’d hate to be on the boat this song is written about.”

It was a night of moments and mood as Marlon Williams held a mesmerized audience in the palm of his hand for nearly 90 minutes all on his own.

There is something that just feels right about Marlon Williams performing at the Hollywood Theatre. It's the first night of a six-show run, the warm autumn air is drifting softly through the wooden doors and despite the capacity crowd, there is a sense of serenity.
