They’ve supported Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real (USA), Iris DeMent (USA), Hayes Carll (USA), Eilen Jewell (USA), Kevin Welch (USA), Shane Nicholson, Bill Chambers and Lachlan Bryan.

The Weeping Willows took out the 2021 CMAA Golden Guitar for Instrumental of the Year and have picked up ten Golden Guitar nominations to date. They were awarded Best Country Act at the 2021 Music Victoria awards and Duo/Group of the Year at the 2021 Australian Folk Music Awards. They’ve also been finalists for the APRA AMCOS Australian Independent Country Music Single of the Year and Live Act of the Year (Country) at the National Live Music Awards (NLMA), as well as nominees for four Country Music Channel (CMC) awards.
