Lee Kernaghan’s music rumbles across the Australian landscape like a souped-up ute belting out a cloud of dust.

For more than three decades, this modern-day bush balladeer has bridged the gap between country’s classic storytelling and a new breed of arena-rock showmanship. From the moment his debut album, The Outback Club, made waves in 1992, Kernaghan has channeled the heart and grit of regional Australia with tracks that have become anthems—Boys From The Bush, Hat Town, The Outback Club, and She’s My Ute, among them.

His list of accolades reads like a career-spanning highlight reel: 13 studio albums (all Gold, Platinum, or multi-Platinum), 40 chart-toppers, and four ARIA Awards, including the Outstanding Achievement Award for his seminal work Spirit of the Anzacs—the highest-selling Australian album (all genres) of 2015. He holds 38 Golden Guitars and has been inducted into both the Australian Country Music Roll of Renown and the CMC Hall of Fame.

Lee Kernaghan is returning to the Tamworth Country Music Festival with a new show that will also feature some very special surprise guests. This not to be missed concert event will take place at TRECC on Thursday 21 January at 8.15pm.
