There's only so much you can do with folk music. In my opinion, as long as you're doing it well, it doesn't matter if you're following a similar formula as other well-known acts. This rings true for 22-year-old Melbourne singer/songwriter
Woody Pitney, who has a sound you'll be familiar with but it will leave you with a smile on your face nonetheless.
Current single "You Can Stay" has already been well received, and after one listen you'll understand why. An upbeat folk jaunt, fans of Mumford & Sons (et. al) will love the simple yet effective arrangement, with the structure building toward the rolling, sing/hum/whistle-along choruses. Pitney's got a killer voice too, both powerful and delicate in parts.
Expect to hear a lot more from this talented young performer in the near future, he's got success written all over him.
