Country troubadour to take the Royal stage

COUNTRY music troubadour Andrew Swift is bringing his Lucky Stars tour to the Royal Hotel Dungog on Friday 13 March.

“Audiences can expect a journey through love, nostalgia and tales from the road,” the Royal said in a statement.

“Whether you come for the volume or the vulnerability, this will be a show not to miss.”

Swift has four ARIA #1 albums and four CMAA Golden GuitarAwards to his name – most recently Male Artist of the Year in 2023.

Accolades have come thick and fast for Swift since his foray into country music some years ago.

A year after his appearance as a top ten finalist in the renowned Toyota Star Maker competition, his ARIA #1 debut album ‘Call Out For The Cavalry’ cemented him as one of Australia’s most discerning storytellers and earned him four Golden Guitar nominations in 2019 – from which he took home gongs for Alt Country Album of the Year and New Talent of the Year.

Described as “an Australian songwriting heavyweight – with a powerfully evocative voice to match” by Country Update, Swift is undoubtedly a force to reckoned with.

Both a wayward vagabond and a sweetheart, his songs brood on gut-wrenching heartache and revel in limitless joy.

Swift will be supported at the Royal by special guest Imogen Hall.
