Tim Farren
Tim Farren stands out from the new wave of talent in Australian country music because he has that rare ability to capture a live audience simply through his presence and leave a lasting impression with a song. It’s a magic quality. His audiences love it, and it keeps them coming back. The Victorian-based singer-songwriter sells a song with absolute sincerity, as he proved during the final of the 2006 Toyota Star Maker Concert when the performance of his own tune, ‘Till I Found You’, was the highlight of the night. ‘Knowing an audience is enjoying my performance as much as I am is what really matters to me,’ says Tim. Tim’s career in Country Music continues to grow. His dedication to his craft and commitment to building his career have seen him travel thousands of kilometers to sing and play wherever there was an opportunity, as a solo act or with his band.Tim and his band won the most popular band at the Country Music Guild of Australasia 2007-2008, and Tim won vocalist of the year for 2008-2009.
The Dalton Gang
The Dalton Gang burst onto the Australian music scene in April 1995 and their polished sound and well crafted arrangements have been impressing audiences ever since. Their first performance was at Melbourne’s Dallas Brooks Hall as support for American Country star, Don Williams. Not only did the audience want to hear more of this talented threesome but Don and his band agreed that ” The Dalton Gang sounded more like a hot five piece band than a trio”…..
The Dalton Gang won most popular band at the Country Music Guild of Australasia 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. Each year since they have been in top 3 .Their layered harmonies and tight instrumentation ensure they keep working the pubs, clubs, festivals and private functions around Victoria.
