Young Guns features the newest and brightest stars on the country music scene. These four young and energetic singers, who are just breaking out into the mainstream, exemplify all that’s great about the diverse musical style of Australian Country Music.
TROY CASSAR-DALEY
Troy has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s finest country
singer-songwriters, honing his craft over the course of 20 years and
six studio albums. Achieving more than a dozen #1 songs on the Country
Tracks Top 30, Troy’s also secured accolades ranging from ARIA Awards
to Golden Guitars. Troy’s worked with many of the luminaries of
Australian music, including on recorded duets with Jimmy Barnes, Paul
Kelly and Slim Dusty.
ADAM HARVEY
Adam Harvey is a colourful and engaging live performer. He has had endless comparisons to the greats - his musical delivery has shades of Johnny Cash, and there's even a touch of Elvis there - but it's all uniquely Adam Harvey. Adam kicks off his performance at the Country Music Festival for Intune.
BUDDY KNOX
Buddy Knox first picked up a guitar at just ten years of age. His big ambition was to "play like Chuck Berry". Despite the challenge of practising on an old worn 'Toomelah mission axe', which was minus a string, Buddy's' goal to play persisted with his natural talent flourishing. Get up close and personal with the famous cherry red 335 Gibson of legendary Buddy Knox as he and his young band rocks it up at the Albert Hotel for the Intune Music Series.
THE FERAL SWING KATZ
