Graham Toole believed he had hit the jackpot when he was called up in January 2019 to sing as Kenny Rogers with the Las Vegas Legends in concert at Melbourne’s Crown Casino. While it was a little surreal being on stage with these stars of the 1960-1990s, Graham has made a career out of singing the songs of the greats.

Now he will present his sensational show at Tamworth Town Hall during the Tamworth Country Music Festival, covering an array of favourite songs such as Macarthur Park, The Gambler, Rhinestone Cowboy, Galveston, Wichita Lineman and many more hits of the great country legends.

“It’s a brilliant opportunity to play wonderful songs that everyone knows... that’s the fun part. We encourage people to join in” Graham said.  “The music transcends through the ages. They are just such well-crafted songs.”

Increasingly he finds second and third generations coming to the concerts, with grandparents eager to share the music they grew up with. As for favourites, Graham said that was too hard to choose, with the melody in one, or a phrase in another clicking with him in particular situations “And that’s what it’s like for audiences too... one line in a song can just take them back to that special time in their lives".
