Australia’s iconic Deni Ute Muster turns 21 next year and organisers are thrilled to announce that international country superstar, Tim McGraw, will headline the event to be held on 4 and 5 October 2019.
Tim McGraw has sold more than 50 million records and dominated the charts with 43 worldwide #1 singles. He’s won 3 Grammy Awards, 16 Academy of Country Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards, 11 American Music Awards, 3 People’s Choice Awards and numerous other honours. He also starred in and narrated the hit movie “The Shack” as well as roles in “Friday Night Lights” and “The Blind Side.”
THE best songs often come from hard times, and so is the
case with chart-topping country artist, Danny Phegan’s new single, Little Man. Released today, November 9, Little
Man came out of the stresses associated with the 2006 drought in southern NSW –
the worst rainfall recorded for his home town of Walla Walla.
“I wrote this song in the years after that drought while putting in 8 kilometres of new water line. My son Bill was only a couple of years old and always wanted to be with me wherever I went, but he’d be asleep by the first gate,” Danny said.
“I was under a lot of pressure
and I remember looking at him and thinking how I wished I could sleep so
soundly. Most nights I’d fall asleep starring at the ceiling running sums
through my head to get through another month. But I also knew someday he’d get
his turn at life’s worries and I don’t want him to be in a hurry to get there.”

January for his song and video for Never Never Land with Luke O’Shea. A few
short months ago, he also got married to Annabel McLarty, making 2018 a year
that’s hard to beat.
