Great Southern Nights with Pete Denahy
Advertisement
Pete Denahy knew when he was 11 years old he wanted to be a country singer. He taught himself guitar, started writing songs and at 13 years old saw Slim Dusty in concert for the first time. Twelve years later he was in Slim’s band playing fiddle and doing a comedy spot on the show.
While he has written some ridiculous comedy songs, he is no stranger to writing a heart wrencher, but he is fully aware that his songs about insects and toilet paper hold special places in the hearts of his fans.
Pete is a five-time Golden Guitar winner and is very happy to have won three of those for his fiddle playing - an instrument that has kept him in work for many years. As well as working as a side man and guest artist for Slim, he has done the same for Sara Storer, Troy Cassar-Daley and Lee Kernaghan.
SUPPORT ACT:

Since the release of her recent singles ‘Changing Tides’, 'The Book Of You', the haunting duet with Ben Morgan, 'Strangers Again', the uplifting ‘Our Place’ and now the reflective ‘Days Go By’, Olivia has been on the road supporting Australian music industry favourites Kasey Chambers, Riley Pearce, Boy & Bear. Olivia’s songs and honest, heartfelt lyrics reflect her coastal, folk upbringing whilst maintaining an originality that is inviting and intriguing, singing of what she has learned to be true in life and love.
