About the ARTISTS

DARYL BRAITHWAITE: In a distinguished career of almost 50 years, Daryl Braithwaite is one of Australia’s award winning premier performers. ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductee, Braithwaite recently shared his brand new, original single Love Songs through Sony Music Entertainment Australia. When you’ve got a back catalogue like Daryl Braithwaite’s it’s hard to find new material that will slip easily into an established canon of classic hits but this Australian icon has done just that.

BLACK SORROWS: Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia’s most prolific and enduringly popular bands renowned for their high-energy live shows, musicianship and infectious, roots-soaked blues rock. Joe Camilleri recently celebrated his 50th career release with Saint Georges Road,  the 19th studio album from The Black Sorrows.

RICHARD CLAPTON: When he was 16 he inveigled his way into a Sydney hotel to hang out with the Rolling Stones. From that day on, Clapton knew he was going to be a rockstar. It’s now almost 50 years since that fateful day – years filled with a lifetime of incredible experiences, outrageous good times and a catalogue of iconic and timeless songs. His best songs – Deep Water, The Best Years of Our Lives, Goodbye Tiger, Glory Road, Lucky Country, Girls on the Avenue, Trust Somebody and Capricorn Dancer – capture the essence of this country and the meaning of our lives like few others.
