Pat Drummond


Pat Drummond forged his formidable reputation in Sydney hotels in the late 70's and early '80s and he has made an enormous impact in the festivals and concert venues since 1991. His 'stand up' comedy songs on the amazingly successful 'Naked Poets' CDs in recent years have given him an impressive national profile, but his comedic genius is, however, only a narrow glimpse of this truly remarkable Australian talent.
 
Described by his peers as a 'Songwriter's Songwriter,' his solo work over 9 albums has profoundly impressed the critics and his fans alike. Three Bush Laureate Awards, three TSA First The Song Songwriting Awards, five final nominations in Toyota Country Music Golden Guitar, voted Independent Country Music Artist Of the Year in 2000; he writes everything from hard-edged politics and mini-movie novelettes to 'gritty realism' biographies set within the framework of the five-minute song. High power lyrics and his legendary on-stage delivery make him a spellbinding addition to this show.

Brent Parlane

Brent Parlane, must definitely be one of the best singer/songwriters in Australian Country/Folk, one who has doggedly followed his own muse and one who can be rated alongside the likes of John Prine, and Nanci Griffith, and one who can be relied upon to deliver the goods. Since 1993 when Brent won the Golden Guitar for Best New Talent, he has racked up seven final nominations and four albums including the classic ABC album, "Tex Loves Daisy" in 1995.

His new album through Shoestring, 'Happy Note', is a powerful and intense piece of work by an artist at his peak. Parlane characteristically pulls no punches and refuses to shy away from tough issues.

Karen Lynne

Karen Lynne's writing and performance achievements are myriad. Her win in The Victorian Country Music Awards this year came hot on the heels of 5 Grand Finalist nominations in "Golden Guitar" Awards and The TSA "Contemporary Country Song of the year" in 2001 (With Pat Drummond). That award followed up her 1999 win for "Grandma Used to Say" (Co-written with Heather Field and James Gillard)

It is inevitable, however, that her songwriting is often overshadowed in the public eye by her prowess as a singer. Karen is an absolutely stunning vocalist whose 4 albums have become firm favorites with broadcasters around Australia. Two Top 5 singles in recent times and if the enthusiasm of her fans is any indication, many more to come.

Mark Tempany


Mark Tempany is one of Australia's leading independent recording artists. While gaining a degree in Environmental Science, Mark's passion for his music really defined itself, so it's no surprise that it is his lyrical evocations of the natural world that have become his trademark.

Several landmark songs emerged from Mark's fourth album - "far away" - in 2000, including the title track, "Australian Child", "Two Blue Moons" and "The Final Goodbye" - a tribute to the influence of the late American songwriter John Denver. It has been his stunning 2002 'Long Highway' release, however, which has catapulted him to national attention. From wide orchestral anthems to the most intimate and touching acoustic ballads and even some uncharacteristically hard edged topics on songs such as " Wrong Place, Wrong Time" make this the highlight of Mark's endeavors so far. Trademark soaring tenor vocals, emotive and intimate lyrics, and pure, sweet melodies make Mark memorable in any company.

Cathy Miller has long been known as one of Canada's most spectacular singers. Her evocative interpretations get to the heart of any songs she sings. She's an engaging performer who doesn't hesitate to throw in a little humour to good effect, in between the songs about the human quest for love, acceptance and understanding. She has been blessed with a voice that can "ring out across a field", and bring an audience to tears, or laughter. And she is a wonderful storyteller.
