Alan Maisey, a solo musician who performs with influences from the 80s, he puts his own take on a wide range of songs leaving you guessing, “what’s next?”
His musical hobby has taken him to places like Norfolk Island and Tamworth and he has become a regular performer in the local live music scene.
Recently he has ventured into writing his own material, with the mindset, “Its never too late to be what you might have been.”
At 72 and after 53 years on the road, Allan Caswell is starting to look at how he will end it. Caswell is Australia’s most recorded songwriter and one of its very best story tellers. The tour will start at the Tamworth Services Club on Australia Day with his friend Dane Sharp and go until he has been back to all the places he has enjoyed playing over the years. Considering he has played nearly every town in NSW, every state in Australia, NZ, the USA, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan and most of the big country and folk festivals around the country … it might take a while. Best known for his iconic worldwide hit On The Inside (the theme from Prisoner) in 1979, he has won 8 Golden Guitars from 48 nominations, ARIA and APRA Awards, gold and platinum records and lots of other Music Industry Awards. Having been elevated to the Australian Country Music Roll of Renown in Tamworth this year, Caswell has very little left to prove.
Songwriting with, and mentoring of young artists has become a huge part of his career in recent years and will continue for years to come but getting his songs out in front of an audience has always been the thing that drives him.
I am unlikely to go back to Iraq or Afghanistan but everywhere else is a possibility. I already have shows planned with friends like Lindsay Waddington, Pixie, Dane Sharp and Matt Scullion and will be taking “Used To Be A Gold Song … The Allan Caswell Tribute Show starring Allan Caswell as himself” around the country. I am not retiring … I am still writing way too many songs and making too many records … and besides I can’t retire … my golf game is terrible. Touring is challenging these days … the CD sales, that once paid for diesel and accommodation, are all but gone. That said, I will be hitting the road in short bursts so I can still keep my songwriting and workshops going. Getting In front of an audience with my songs and stories is a huge part of my life … songwriting? … that goes forever.

He’s opening for Jimmy Barnes on his upcoming national tour and hit #1 on the ARIA Country Albums Chart with his debut record Troubadour. Yet, Taylor Sheridan’s music remains grounded in authentic storytelling. His new single, ‘Stories’, is an ode to the massive road travelled so far and the adventure to come.
Earthy acoustic tones, soaring contemporary melodies and sincere storytelling – the autobiographical, ‘Stories’, blurs the line between past and present, in both music and lyrics. For Taylor, the song marks a milestone in his career. “When I found out I was going to be touring nationally with Jimmy Barnes, I knew I wanted a song to really capture this incredible moment in time.”
Drawing heavily from his own upbringing, the new single is a shout out to the moments that define us. “Stories is about the experiences in our lives that shape who we are. From a pivotal moment in my high school days to now becoming a new father, Stories represents the essence of what I believe life is all about.”
The song’s unique sound comes courtesy of Melbourne powerhouse producer duo, MSquared (Taylor Moss, James Johnston) whilst the music video was shot by rising filmmaker, Jake Davey. “We spent three days filming all the visuals for Stories and found some beautiful spots that really captured the essence of what this song is about.
Born and raised in the quiet folds of Kyneton, on his family’s farm, Taylor matches the song’s visuals to his love for his birthplace. “It’s where I feel most comfortable, so I wanted to represent that. Throughout this clip are photos from my childhood and stages throughout my life.”
That hometown is where he got his start. Nestled in regional Victoria, it was the kind of place where everyone knew your name. His parents worked honest jobs - his dad on the farm, his mum at the local paper. There was no jukebox at home, no lineage of performers to follow - music wasn’t in his blood, but somehow, it was already in his bones.
As a kid, he couldn’t sit still in class without drumming on the desk or breaking into song. “Music is just innately who I am,” shares the singer-songwriter. “It helped me find my identity.”
By fifteen, he’d picked up a guitar and found a deep calling in songwriting. The local pub crowd doubled as his biggest cheer squad. “The whole town would turn up to support me,” he recalls. “I think that’s what gave me the belief that I could pursue music as a career.”
Fast forward and Taylor has supported artists like Pete Murray, Vanessa Amorosi, and Daryl Braithwaite, toured nationally on the lineup for the Red Hot Summer Tour and One Electric Day, shared stages with international icons Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight, and spent five years on the road as a full-time member of ARIA Award winning rock band Taxiride. He already joined Jimmy Barnes on tour in 2024 and is set to do it again in June. To top it all off, he’s just become a first-time dad.
Taylor is also an ambassador for the Life Changer Foundation, supporting youth mental health - something that echoes the openness he brings to his art.
With ‘Stories’, Taylor Sheridan takes stock of life, about to dive headfirst into a new chapter: a new single, another run with Jimmy Barnes, and his first go at fatherhood. “I wanted a song that reflects where I’m at right now. These are the moments that will make one hell of a story someday.”

Her artistry has developed into an encapsulating unique style drawing on influences from artists like Gang Of Youths, Maggie Rogers, Sharon Van Etten and Angie McMahon.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Chris's performances is the inclusion of his son, Jesse, a budding talent at just 9 years old. When Jesse joins his father on stage, their synergy is nothing short of magical. Their collaborative performances leave audiences mesmerised and enchanted.
In 2021, Chris released a special and significant album titled Lionheart. This deeply personal album serves as a dedication to his father, who passed away in 2017 after a courageous 28-year battle with MS. Through Lionheart, Chris pays homage to his father's strength and resilience, infusing each track with raw emotion and heartfelt tributes. The album stands as a testament to his ability to channel personal experiences into poignant musical narratives that resonate with audiences on a profound level.
