Brian Cadd
Come along to experience some Cadd Magic. It’s been a long, strange trip. Along the way, Brian Cadd – who was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007 – has earned the love and respect of his peers.
Jimmy Barnes says: “Brian Cadd is one of my heroes. He has a body of work like Ray Charles and Hank Williams.”
“Brian Cadd is one of the finest songwriters Australia has ever produced,” adds Ian “Molly” Meldrum, whose first job in the music industry was as a roadie for The Groop, Brian’s band in the ’60s.
Molly once introduced the artist to Elton John by saying: “Brian is probably to Australia what you are to England.”
As well as thousands of live shows – “It’s a real addiction, I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t do it; I can’t play golf, I can’t fish” – Brian has made his mark as a songwriter. His songs have been recorded by Ringo Starr, Joe Cocker, Glen Campbell, The Pointer Sisters, Bonnie Tyler, Yvonne Elliman, Charlie Daniels, Dobie Gray, Cilla Black and Gene Pitney.

Taylor Sheridan
With a repertoire that impresses, Taylor Sheridan has mesmerized audiences at some of Australia’s premier music festivals, including The Red Hot Summer Tour. His magnetic stage presence has seen him share the spotlight with music legends like Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham, Gladys Knight, Pete Murray, Daryl Braithwaite, and Vanessa Amorosi. Sheridan’s musical journey took root in the heartland of Australia, where his natural storytelling ability through music was cultivated. ‘I love the nature of telling a story with an acoustic guitar,’ he shares, ‘and singing soulfully has always felt like second nature to me.’ Sheridan’s path to stardom is paved with the release of two critically acclaimed independent EPs and a series of singles that have not only topped the iTunes Top 10 but also struck a chord with audiences everywhere.
As a former key member of the iconic Australian band Taxiride, he has demonstrated his versatility and breadth as a musician. As Sheridan embarks on the next chapter of his career, he is set to enchant an even larger audience with his eagerly anticipated debut album, Troubadour. This album is more than a collection of songs; it is a rich tapestry of heartfelt stories and soul-stirring performances.
