He's an ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductee and Australian music icon ...
when you’ve got a back catalogue like Daryl Braithwaite’s it’s hard to find new material that will slip easily into an established canon of classic hits. In 2020, when almost no one expected it, Braithwaite returned with a stunning new single ‘Love Songs’.
Let’s face it, you don’t get to wear that King of Pop crown for nothing. Daryl’s vocal pipes should be listed as a national treasure - as should his instinct for hearing a song and making it his own.
It's no surprise Daryl’s live audience warmed to the song immediately. As Daryl says, “It’s like when I started out with Sherbet in 1970, that’s how you would gauge the reaction to new material. We’d all discuss it after the gig if the song had worked or not. The audience are the best indicator of those things.”
Now it's your chance to hear his new songs alongside all the hits. And to get up much closer than the 70,000 who heard him perform live on stage with Harry Styles in Sydney earlier this year. Don't miss this special VIC arts centres tour at West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul, The Round, Nunawading and Ulumbarra Theatre, Bendigo. Tickets through the venues.
