UPCOMING EVENT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE - 12TH SEPTEMBER 2025
Adelaide Guitar Festival is thrilled to welcome back one of Australia’s most respected and beloved musicians – the phenomenal Troy Cassar-Daley with his full band. A proud Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung man, Troy brings with him a legacy of musical excellence, heartfelt storytelling, and a profound connection to country and culture. With a career spanning over three decades, Troy has earned an extraordinary list of accolades, including 45 Golden Guitars, 6 ARIA Awards, 4 CMAA Entertainer of the Year titles, and 3 APRA Song of the Year awards. His artistry has delivered 33 Number 1 chart singles and a string of gold and platinum albums, showcasing not only his songwriting talent but also his sublime guitar playing—an exceptional strength that drives his powerful live performances. Troy’s ability to tell stories through his instrument adds a rare and moving dimension to his music, captivating audiences across generations. Opening the show, Barkindji Songwoman Nancy Bates weaves heart, vision and the power of collaboration in her anticipated new release Share Your Love. Seeded through her years on the road with Uncle Archie Roach, Nancy’s soulful songs are a force for change. They now take centre stage, accompanied by her stellar band and a rich cast of collaborators in a special festival album launch.

The Committee, Members and Patrons of the Willaston Country Music Club have been greatly saddened by the recent passing of Darryl Eckert from Heartland. He was the band’s lead singer, and also played bass and rhythm guitar. The Country Music industry of South Australia has lost an amazingly well respected and talented man, who has a reputation for giving his all and enjoying the journey. We have been blessed with his entertaining performances on numerous occasions over the years and his friendships amid our folk are many. He will be truly missed as he walks the rainbows and sings with the angels. We all pass on sincere condolences to his wife, Gail, and family. Photo courtesy of Ian Fisk. ... See MoreSee Less
My heart goes out to Gail and the family, may Darryl rest in peace ❤
I’m so very sad to hear of Darryl’s passing. He and Heartland were always so supportive of me as an emerging artist and young musician. Always happy to back me in talent quests and country music club appearances. No matter the song (and the state of the chord charts haha) Darryl was always a supportive and kind friend and fellow musician. Sending love to Darryl’s family and the SA country music community.
Can’t believe it 😢 💔 I have had so many great moments with Darryl and Heartbeat over the years, he was such a great guy. I’m so glad I knew him. My deepest condolences go out to my South Australian Country Music family. 🤍💟💔
My condolences to his loved ones 🤕
