Jack is as excited as ever for The 60 Four to continue from strength to strength through 2022 and beyond!

Lachlan Williams

Vocalist

LachieBlue (1)

Lachlan was born into a family with a great passion for the arts. With family involved with opera, dance and the backstage world of theatre, Lachlan grew familiar with the stage from a very young age. Many of his earlier years involved plenty of youth theatre, highlights including three overseas tours, performing in four different Disney Theme Parks, and the occasional professional role including Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (Windmill, 2007) and Different Fields (SINGular Productions, 2010).

It was in these formative years that Lachlan met Ben Francis and Kyle Hall, 2010 and 2012 respectively (he’s also known Finn Green since he was a baby). Lachlan started at Scotch College in 2012, with the other boys joining in 2013, and their friendships grew through several musicals and performances at the College. It was in the Scotch College music rooms that the earliest seeds of The 60 Four were planted. After finishing Scotch College in 2016, Lachlan attended Flinders Drama Centre from 2018 to 2021, with four years of actor training as well as multiple plays and short films under his belt.

Lachlan also has a passion for performing with local rock bands, playing bass/writing with both SODA and Kyle Charles Hall (Kyle’s original music project). Lachlan is just as passionate about being an original founding member of The 60 Four, and has adored being a part of the group since their first public performance back in 2015. He’s super excited for this year’s Fringe season, the coinciding South Australian tour, and all the potential opportunities to perform with this awesome group!

HISTORY

The 60 Four started in 2015, when Ben Francis, Lachlan Williams, Kyle Charles Hall and then-bass Tom Russel found themselves singing ’60s music in a high-school class taught by well-known Australian cabaret performer Michael Griffiths. It was their first taste of the spine-tingling harmonies that were so prevalent in the era. They prepared a medley of songs by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and performed it at the Adelaide Theatre Guide Awards night at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, receving a standing ovation and three job offers on the spot.

The 60 Four and directed by Ben Francis who, along with Lachlan, Kyle and now Finnegan Green, have been entertaining audiences for over 6 years. They weren’t born in this era but don’t let that fool you into thinking their portrayal is inferior. They bring their own arrangements and a blend that emanates from their obvious rapport as friends. In 2016, The 60 Four produced their first public show at an intimate 40-seat venue. They now reguarly sell out performance seasons, with over 2000 tickets.
