The Gympie Music Muster has announced Canadian artist Dan Davidson as its first international ambassador, marking a milestone for the iconic Queensland event ahead of its 2025 festival, running from 28 to 31 August.
Dan is one of Canada’s most successful independent country artists, and he made a lasting impression when he performed at the 2023 Muster, and the team can’t wait to see him return.
His return in 2025, this time as an ambassador, reflects the festival’s growing global reputation and the strong ties forged between international artists and the Australian country music community.
“Man, this is a real honour,” he said.
“The first international ambassador for the Gympie Muster… wow, this is cool.
“Attending Gympie back in 2023 was an experience I’ll never forget—when you walk into the forest, it feels like you’ve joined a lovely country music cult.
“Some of the most interesting, loving, and dedicated country music fans a person could ever come across.
“Believe me, I’m spreading the word about how amazing that festival is everywhere I go across the world.”
Being out in the forest and dealing with Australia’s wildlife has made for some amusing videos from the Canadian ambassador.
It’s fitting that the Muster’s first international ambassador is Canadian as this August, the Muster welcomes three Canadian acts to the roster: joining Dan, are The Road Hammers and Alli Walker.
Dan joins The Wolfe Brothers, announced earlier as the festival’s 2025 Australian ambassadors.
“We’re looking forward to Dan spreading all the good news about the Gympie Muster to a wider audience, and we can’t wait to catch up with him at the festival,” Nick Wolfe said.
The announcement of Australian and Canadian ambassadors highlights the Muster’s commitment to showcasing both homegrown and international talent and deepening connections across the country music world.
Stay tuned for the 2025 Gympie Music Muster artist playing times coming in early June.
