Brian Cadd. A Ray of Sunshine.

-
Etched into Australias music history are the hits of Brian Cadd. The songs say it all 'Little Ray of Sunshine', 'Ginger Man', 'Let Go', 'Arkansas Grass', are just a part of a catalogue that are part of history. 

 Live, Brian Cadd is just amazing. A consummate performer, with unequalled audience rapport. He can be booked through Westside Talent, 

 Brian Cadd is a key figure in the history of Australian music; one glance at his extensive discography will indicate his prolific musical output, and he has been active in many other areas of the industry throughout his long and successful career. 
In 2009 Brian was inducted into both the ARIA HALL OF FAME and the AUSTRALIAN SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME and he was awarded an Honorary Masters of Music from the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney. 
His autobiography FROM THIS SIDE OF THINGS was released in November 2010 and is still selling really well. As a result he is now working on a quite different second book, which should see the light of day towards the end of 2013.

 2010 marked Brian's 44th year in the music industry and saw Brian spend 6 months in Paris, something he now does each year.  

 A duo country album with Russell Morris called WILD BULLS
AND HORSES was released mid year 2011 to high acclaim. Later the same year he commenced work on his 14th album, a collection of his versions of songs he has written for other artists, it was be released in the spring of 2013.

"I still keep in touch with the Bandstand family. I guess I talk to most of them. When I talk about Sandy Scott, Little Pattie and Judy Stone and Brian Henderson , I speak to them probably once or twice a week. It's still a family. That family thing is still there. The entertainment industry is a very strange fraternity. Even though a lot of times you don't see a lot of people for maybe 12 months, I have a group of people that are very close friends".   Source: A recent ATN 7 interview.

Happy Jan 1 2024! I suppose like most people I have promised myself some self control and purpose, and therefore, I have changed direction of my art. I hope you like it: My latest piece of art takes a departure from the ordinary, offering a surreal landscape that turns our gaze upward as Earth rises against an imaginary backdrop.

Earth's ascent, accompanied by abstract bird shapes in an imaginary landscape, serves as an exploration into the uncharted territories of artistic expression. This piece is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible, encouraging a deeper dive into the boundless realms of imagination.
