Duo living their dream
Pair coming to play in Townsville
Aussie country music duo The Wolfe Brothers are ‘living the dream’, so much so that their latest tour is called just that.
The sibling duo from Tasmania, who were catapulted into fame 12 years ago by coming second on Australia’s Got Talent, are bringing their latest tour to Townsville and are excited for the ‘wild and fun’ crowds they know and love.
Nick and Tom Wolfe come from a long line of musicians and berry farmers, with Wolfe’s Berry Farm in Neika, Tasmania having been passed down generations for over 120 years.
As part of their Livin’ The Dream Tour the brothers will perform at the Dalrymple Hotel on May 17. One half of the duo, Nick, said Townsville was ‘always one of our favourite places to play’.
“There’s something about North Queensland, maybe the heat and the tropical setting. It’s always a party up there,”
he said. “Queensland in general is such an epicentre for Aussie country music.”
“We love getting out on the road and we are so lucky that this is our job. We are going to keep doing it as long as we can.”
The duo has won nine Golden Guitar Awards over their 12 years in music, three of those at this year’s awards night, making them the most awarded country rock duo in Austra
lian history. Nick said it was important to take the music to the people, saying regional towns are the heart of country music in Australia.
“Hitting the road and visiting the regional towns is awesome because that’s where some of the best fans are,” he said.
“On tour we are driving around with our mates, playing shows and having so many laughs along the way.”
Joining the Wolfe Brothers on their tour is rising Australian country music star Max Jackson, who took out the 2022 Toyota Star Maker Award and just recently won her first Golden Guitar for Best New Talent.
“The last couple years have been a whirlwind,” she said.
“Winning the Toyota Star Maker was such a huge push in my career. To win a competition that has produced huge
names like Keith Urban and Gina Jeffreys was incredible.
“From there all the opportunities have been insane. I was able to go play in Nashville and at iconic Australian festivals.”
Ms Jackson said her dreams were coming true, having sung country music since she was a child.
