He has appeared at festivals including the Gympie Music Muster, Port Fairy Folk Festival and the Brunswick Music festival, as well as several tours across Europe and abroad.

Watt was in residence with Nigel Wearne in 2017. Together, they co-wrote a concept album exploring tales of mutiny, civil disobedience and oppression that lie in the shadows of Australian history. Their debut single ‘ Above The Bit’ was released in October 2018.
