To kick it all off, one of USA’s biggest rising, multi-platinum selling country stars & GRAMMY® nominated artist, Jimmie Allen, will headline, and GRAMMY® nominated, multiplatinum American singer/songwriter, Gavin DeGraw, will be another addition to the line-up.
They will be joined by some of our country’s biggest & best local artists, including Lee Kernaghan, Kasey
Chambers, Busby Marou, Shannon Noll, The Wolfe Brothers, Casey Barnes, The Buckleys & Darlinghurst.
Boardwalk Music Festival promises to deliver a cracking day out in a relaxed, fun filled environment – it’s
the perfect event to kick back and witness some of country music’s finest artists. The locations will be
topped up with food trucks and pop-up boutique bars to create the ultimate festival experience. And
if you love country music, Boardwalk will be the place to be.
Jimmie Allen exploded onto the country music scene with his 2018 debut album Mercury Lane, featuring
two singles – “Best Shot” and “Make Me Want To” – which went on to become No. 1 on Billboard’s
Country Airplay chart. In 2021, he released the critically acclaimed album Bettie James Gold Edition,
was nominated for Best New Artist at the 64th GRAMMY Awards and took home the New Artist of the Year award at the CMA Awards as well as New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards.
Gavin DeGraw’s inimitable voice and soulful style boldly bloomed on his 2003 platinum-certified fulllength debut, Chariot. It included the gold single “Follow Through,” as well as both platinum hits,
“Chariot,” and “I Don’t Want To Be.” In 2008, his self-titled second album, Gavin, bowed in the Top 10 of
the Billboard Top 200 powered by the platinum-selling single “In Love With a Girl.” 2011’s gold-certified
Sweeter saw him return to the Top 10 as the single “Not Over You” went four times platinum.
Lee Kernaghan is Australia’s most loved country music identity and an outback icon. He is credited with
reinvigorating Australian Country Music by synthesising traditional country themes with his own brand of
rural rock and images of an evolving regional culture.
Songs like The Outback Club, Boys From The Bush, Hat Town, She’s My Ute, Outback Club, Backroad
Nation and Australian Boy are now modern day anthems for a generation of Australians living and
working on the land.
Lee has achieved a staggering 40 No. 1 chart hit songs over his career and has been awarded 38 Golden
Guitars. His live concerts are a high powered, electric celebration of all things Australian delivered
through Lee’s songs and amplified through his larger-than-life on-stage presence and the undeniable
connection he has with every audience he plays to.
Music seems to be a part of Kasey Chambers DNA, with 12 award winning albums under her belt since
the release of The Captain in 1999, Kasey’s brilliant songwriting and world-class performance have
earned her a rightful position on the global country artist stage.
Often described as a genre-defying singer and songwriter, she wears the honesty of country music on
her sleeve and has become one of the most popular and acclaimed artists of her generation in Australia,
while winning a devoted cult following in the rest of the world.
In 2018 Kasey’s exceptional career was honoured by being the youngest female ever to be inducted
into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the youngest inductee to the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown.
Kasey and her band will play all of her much-loved songs from ‘The Captain’ and ‘Barricades & Brickwalls’ all the way through her career to now, in a festival performance not to be missed.
Tom Busby (hailing from Queensland, Australia) and Jeremy Marou (from the beautiful Torres Strait Islands) have been playing music together for over a decade since their initial music connection at a pub in Rockhampton.
There’s a potent chemistry that drives Busby Marou, and it is that unwritten agenda, a
simple intangible understanding between them, that they will continue to drive into the exciting new
chapter in their remarkable career.
Busby Marou has recently finished recording their 5th album “Blood Red” which is scheduled for release
in July 2023 and feels like a true realization of the unlimited potential they have shown until this point.
Busby Marou has gained a reputation as one of Australia’s hardest-working live bands best known for
their distinctly Australian storytelling and gifted musicianship. Onstage, a key element is the intertwining
of the vocal interplay of two lifelong mates.
Shannon Noll’s everyman appeal lies in his honesty, he strikes a chord with legions of music fans, tapping
into a pure emotion that’s both his own and instantly relatable. His rise to fame as the first runner-up of
the initial Australian Idol series in 2003 changed his life from farm hand in Condobolin forever.
Shannon Noll remains one of the most recognisable names and faces in the Australian music industry
with only a few matching his success. A loving husband and father, he is also a voice to be reckoned
with. His last album, Raw, was his sixth studio album and was released in 2021.
