Lee Kernaghan is Australia’s most loved country music identity and an outback icon, taking over the Main Stage stage on Saturday night 3rd August at Tara Festival!

He reinvigorated Australian Country Music in the 1990’s, 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 and Australian Boy are now modern day anthems for a generation of Australian’s living and working on the land.

2022 marked the 30^th anniversary of the release of Lee’s classic debut album The Outback Club. To celebrate this incredible milestone with his fans Lee released a special 3-CD, 62 song set that documents three decades of dedication to his craft – a decade per CD –  a journey which has ensured Lee remains one of the biggest names in Australian country music.

Lee has achieved a staggering 40 #1 chart hit songs over his career and has been awarded 38 Golden Guitars. He has been named Hit Maker of the Decade twice, in 2001 and 2011. This accolade is in recognition of Lee having more chart hits in Australia than any other country music artist in the world.

In September 2022 Lee released the first single from his next studio album that will be released in mid 2023. This very special song of unity is called Come Together and features the incredible vocal talents of First Nation artists Isaiah Firebrace and Mitch Tambo. Come Together was written by Lee, Isaiah, Mitch, Nick Wolfe, Colin Buchanan and Garth Porter.
