MUCH LOVED Australian singer/songwriter Graeme Connors is bringing his fabulous ‘My Lyrical Life’ tour to Proserpine.
The Queenslander – he hails from Mackay – is performing at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre, on Friday, 15 August.
The songwriter and performer has had a fascinating career, starting out at just 18 years old and now celebrating an epic five-decade journey in music.
‘My Lyrical Life’ – the book and concert – is a Graeme Connors ‘Golden Celebration’ combining fan favourites and old gems.
He is a master storyteller, illuminating the soul of Australia and its tales of life, love and global events.
In 1974, 18-year-old Graeme stepped into the limelight as the opening act for the iconic Kris Kristofferson during his Australian tour.
Impressed by Graeme’s talent, Kris ushered him into the recording studio to craft Graeme’s debut album ‘And When Morning Comes’, which hit the scene in 1976.
Fast forward 50 years, he is 19 albums deep, with platinum and gold records, honoured with prestigious ARIA, Golden Guitar, APRA awards, and other accolades.
And he continues to hit the road, carrying his soul-stirring melodies and captivating narratives to audiences across Australia and beyond.
Graeme’s latest masterpiece, ‘My Lyrical Life’, is a compendium of 217 of his song lyrics.
These verses, immortalised in his own recordings – or recorded by music legends including Slim Dusty, John Denver and Jon English – are accompanied by personal reflections that trace the vibrant tapestry of his storied career.
‘My Lyrical Life’ has given Graeme the chance to rediscover many gems from the past, alongside the fan favourites.
“I love the re-connection with an audience that has made my life the life it is,” he said.
“And it’s a reminder that there is no endpoint really; we can keep doing these things as long as we have our vital energy and can still contribute to the human spirit.”
