CREATIVE CUTS SUNNY COAST TIMES
Back in business by CHRIS GILMORE
C
ountry singer-songwriter Troy Cassar-Daley is heading to the Imperial Hotel at Eumundi in October – and the beloved Aussie icon can’t wait to be back on the stage. With gigs put on hiatus due to the COVID pandemic, he says it will be great to be back doing what he does best. “You bet it is!” he says. “If there is one thing this whole experience has taught me it's to never take what you do for granted ever again. I was born to play and to have that taken away has been a battle for all of us musicians.” The four-time ARIA Award winner says he’s used the enforced hiatus to work on new material. “(I’ve been) writing a new album and playing drums and bass very badly on the demo songs,” he says. “I will apologise to my neighbours at some stage.” The Eumundi shows on October 22 and 23 will feature Benji Pocock on guitar and vocals, and Troy’s promising “old, new, borrowed and blue – a good range of songs to fit into this intimate show”. The shows will be a family affair, with Troy being supported by his daughter Jem Cassar-Daley. Jem graduated from the Senior Academy
of Country Music in Tamworth in 2019 and was the opening act for her dad’s Greatest Hits Tour that year. She has collaborated with seasoned artists including Catherine Britt, Lyn Bowtell and Kevin Bennett, and has also performed at the Ekka, Gold Coast 600 and festivals including the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Troy says he is very proud of his daughter’s musical endeavours. “She has been a breath of fresh air during this time,” Troy says. “Her gigs all dried up so she went and got three part-time jobs but kept songwriting all the way through. She is humble and extremely talented our girl and all last year on tour she stole many hearts with her singing and piano playing abilities. So so proud of her.” Troy, who has released 10 studio albums throughout his 30 years of making music, says playing at Eumundi is a chance for him to return the love he has been given by the Sunny Coast over the years. “The Sunshine Coast has been a mental health refuge for my wife (Laurel) and I over the years, not just 2020,” he says. “Laurel has big family holiday connections up there and I feel soDEPLOYMENT happy to CODE: NEWSPAPER be coming up to play some shows and give back a little of what it’s given me.” Tickets to both shows have Troy Cassar-Daley sold out.
