Masters of Storytelling ✨

Photo of the year (perhaps decade)
Three country music legends, three artistic generations coming together to continue to pave the way for Australian country music.

Kelly Dixon, DEAN PERRETT, Paul Ricketts all remarkable story-tellers, creative geniuses and all round top blokes.

Kelly, an award winning singer-songwriter, a legend and icon of Australian music. Writing over 160 songs, 40 for Slim Dusty alone. Kelly has a brand new soul tingling single out with Graeme Connors; Ringers Retired.

Dean is at the forefront of the modern Australian Bush Ballad, recently releasing his track A Big Thing in A Small Town. After winning numerous awards including Golden Guitars, Dean continues to inspire and influence the next generation of Australian country artists.

Paul is working on his debut album, earlier this year winning the Thornton Young Award and is set to release a new single next week, adding yet another gem to his ever growing music collection.

It’s all happening here at the Maidenwell Music Mix, be sure to put it in your calendars for next year 🤠
