Chad Morgan brings to the stage a unique blend of comedy and country music that captures Australian culture, warts and all.
Since he released his first album in 1952, Chad has enjoyed a prolific touring and recording career, with his dry sense of humour entertaining everyone who hears his songs; he has even been dubbed the clown prince of comedy by Slim Dusty.
Chad has toured his comedic songs throughout Australia, performing in tents and trucks, clubs and pubs, the Sydney Opera House, and even a touring circus.
Audiences are always delighted by Chad’s unique array of comic country and western songs such as The Sheik of Scrubby Creek, I’m My Own Grandpa, The Shotgun Wedding, Double Decker Blowflies and There’s Life In The Old Dog Yet.
Chad was inducted into the Tamworth Hands of Fame in 1979, the Roll of Renown in 1987, the Kempsey Living Legend Award in 2002 and was the first person to be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 CMAA Awards.
A documentary film, I’m Not Dead Yet, was made about his life and he received the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in 2004.
As if an evening with Chad was not enough he also has a great support act in Ian and Glennys Muir who are musicians, singers, songwriters and entertainers. From growing up in the small Victorian country town of Tatura to the bright lights of Nashville, Tennessee, where Ian recorded his third album, their journey has always been an exciting one and they are an excellent complement to Chad’s performances.
You can catch Chad in action at the Tewantin Noosa RSL on Saturday night, from 8pm. Phone 5447 1766 for courtesy bus and dinner reservations.
