From Melbourne school boy to pop-megastar, Daryl Braithwaite has had one stellar career and now he’s bringing the hits to Noosa for one night only.
Appearing at Villa Noosa on 27 June, Braithwaite will deliver chart-topping hits such as The Horses and You’re My World.
Braithwaite began his singing career in the school choir at Christ Church Grammas, alongside Olivia Newton-John, before he left school to become a fitter and turner.
Realising his passion was in music, Braithwaite began to pursue a musical career when, at the age of 21, he joined Sherbet, a band that went on to become one of Australia’s biggest pop bands.
Sherbet had 20 hits on the Australian charts between 1971 and 1979, during which Braithwaite rose to fame as the band’s lead singer.
From 1974 through to 1993, Braithwaite placed 15 solo hits in the Australian Top 40, including a cover of the ballad You’re My World which went to number one in Australia.
Braithwaite was crowned Australia’s King of Pop by TV Week for three consecutive years from 1975 to 1977, but by 1984 Braithwaite had decided to take a break from the music industry.
In 1988, his comeback album Edge revealed a changed Braithwaite with a more contemporary sound and hits such as As The Days Go By, All I Do and One Summer, a Braithwaite original.
A number of solo hits followed before another 12-year break between 1993 and 2005, when another album appeared, Snapshot in 2005.
Since then, Braithwaite has continued to record with a new album, Forever The Tourist, released in 2013, featuring the lead single Not Too Late.
Braithwaite embodies the idyllic late 80s pop-rock sound that can’t help but make you remember tie-died shirts, high-waisted jeans and a much more simple time.
