  • Lee Kernaghan
    Lee Kernaghan

    Lee Kernaghan reinvigorated Australian Country Music in the 1990’s, synthesising traditional country themes with his own brand of rural rock and images of an evolving regional culture. Songs like The Outback Club, Boys from The Bush, Hat Town, She’s My Ute and Australian Boy are now modern day anthems for a generation of Australians living and working on the land.

    In 2015 Lee released the epic work, “Spirit of The Anzacs”, based on a collection of letters and diary records from Australian servicemen and women, some dating back to the landings at Gallipoli. On its release the album struck a chord with the Australian people holding the number 1 position on the Australian ARIA Album Chart for four consecutive weeks and was the highest selling album by an Australian artist (all genres) for 2015. All proceeds from the “Spirit Of The Anzacs” song and music video featuring music greats Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Shepherd, Shannon Noll, Jon Stevens and Megan Washington are donated in perpetuity to veteran support groups – Legacy Australia and Soldier On.

    Lee has sold over two and a half million albums in Australia with releases including Outback Club, Three Chain Road, 1959, Hat Town, Rules Of The Road, Electric Rodeo, New Bush, Ultimate Hits, Spirit Of The Bush, Planet Country, Beautiful Noise and Spirit Of The Anzacs all achieving platinum or multi-platinum status. Lee is a four-time ARIA award winning artist and in 2015 he was presented with the Australian Record Industry Award for Outstanding Achievement.

    Lee has achieved a staggering 38 #1 chart hit songs over his career and has been awarded 37 Golden Guitars. He has been named Hit Maker of the Decade, twice, in 2001 and 2011. This accolade is in recognition of Lee having more chart hits in Australia than any other country music artist in the world.

    Kernaghan is long-time and passionate supporter of rural and regional Australia. His Pass the Hat Around Australia Tours, Spirit of The Bush and Farmhand concerts have raised millions of dollars for drought, flood and bushfire relief, hospitals, schools, ambulance and volunteer organisations nation-wide. In 2004 Kernaghan was the recipient of an Order of Australia Medal and was named 2008 Australian of the Year.

    Lee Kernaghan’s 2017 Boys from The Bush 25th Anniversary Tour launched in Tamworth on Australia Day and sold out 29 of the 32 shows on the 2017 tour. The tour was a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Lee’s amazing career and of the release of his first single and album, the legendary Boys From The Bush, and the album it came from – Outback Club. By popular demand this record breaking tour was extended through 2018 and again the tour achieved sell out concerts throughout the year.

    At the end of the 25th Anniversary Tour Lee began the writing process for a new album called “Backroad Nation”.

    “Backroad Nation” is a collection of stories and themes that caught Lee’s attention from the places he travelled to, and the people he met, whilst on tour. It is a celebration of all things Australian and a tip of the hat to our regional and rural communities who have faced some of their most severe challenges ever in recent years. The first single from the album “Wheels” was released early March and the album will be launched on 10th May.

    In 2019 Lee will undertake his most extensive tour for many years travelling to every state and territory on the Backroad Nation Tour. The Tour begins in May and concludes at the end of November.

    Kate Ceberano

    Kate Ceberano has forged a unique presence among the true legends of Australian music in a career spanning five decades: a commanding personality, an electrifying performer and a peerless voice that defies time, fashion and genre.

    Her 11 platinum and 8 gold albums, 10 Top 10 albums, 15 Top 40 singles, 3 Countdown awards, 5 ARIA awards from 20 nominations (9 for Best Female Artist) and more than 6,000 live performances only begin to attest to her unassailable impact on the Australian stage.

    In 2025, Kate’s Australian Made Tour builds on the momentum of two sold-out national tours — the epic orchestral My Life Is A Symphony in 2023, Superstars Live with Jon Stevens in 2024 — to celebrate her own platinum catalogue alongside classic Australian songs that helped shape and inspire her extraordinary career.

    It was the original Australian Made tour of 1987 with INXS, Jimmy Barnes, Divinyls, Models and more that first brought Kate’s jaw-dropping voice to national attention on the heels of Bear Witness, the platinum debut by her early band I’m Talking.

    Her vast subsequent legacy includes a record-breaking run with John Farnham in Jesus Christ Superstar, a triple platinum solo pop debut, Brave, a platinum jazz album, You’ve Always Got The Blues, her 2014 induction into the Australian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and countless triumphs spanning jazz, pop , rock and beyond. Her acclaim as an exhibiting painter has just begun, while her second memoir, UNSUNG: A Compendium of Creativity, landed in ’23.

    Singer, songwriter, author, artist and spokeswoman for generations of self-empowered artists defining their own ground on their own terms, Kate is a force of nature, Australian entertainment royalty and a bona fide national treasure.
