    Australian music Legends Ian Moss and Troy Cassar-Daley are Together Alone On The Road and On Vinyl

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians Two voices you already trust sound even bigger when they share the same stage. We’re back in the Zoom room with Ian Moss and Troy Cassar-Daley to unpack what keeps their Together Alone shows feeling fresh, funny, and genuinely human, even after years of touring. From the first minute, we’re talking real-life touring decisions: why more dates got added, how fans in capital cities made sure they weren’t left out, and what it’s like returning to venues that leave a mark.  We also get into the stuff music lovers really want to know, like how they choose which songs become duets and why the best moments often happen without a master plan. Their VIP experience is built around a true “behind the scenes” pass: pre-show soundcheck, songs you won’t hear later that night, and a close-up look at how two seasoned performers shape the set list in real time. If you’ve ever wondered how acoustic tours stay exciting, this is the answer: great songs first, then trust, then the stories that glue the whole night together.  There’s a major release on the horizon too: Together Alone, recorded live at the Ulumbarra Theatre, a venue with the unforgettable history of being the former Bendigo Jail. We talk about capturing that atmosphere on a live album, the return of CDs, and why vinyl is more than a trend when fans want something tangible. Plus, we preview the festival side of their year, including Deni Ute Muster and Savannah In The Round, where the acoustic vibe flips into full electric energy, and we spotlight the community fundraising that makes these events matter.  If you love Australian music, hit play, share this with a mate who never misses a gig, and then subscribe and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show.

    Tyla Rodrigues - Honky Tonk Healing on the way to Groundwater Country Music Festival

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians A packed bar, a tiny country town, and a song that somehow pulls strangers to the middle of the room. That’s the feeling Tyla Rodrigues chases, and it’s the heartbeat of her latest single, “Honky Tonk Healing.” We jump on Zoom with the 22-year-old Australian country music artist to unpack how those early nights in pubs and local venues shaped her love of traditional country storytelling and that classic honky tonk sound that makes you forget everything for a minute.  We also talk Groundwater Country Music Festival in Queensland, the free beach country music festival that keeps winning people over. Tyla explains why the vibe feels unmatched, why “country curious” listeners matter, and how returning each year feels like a family reunion with an all-killer lineup. If you’ve ever wondered how a festival can grow a scene, this is a real-world blueprint from someone living it.  From songwriting to big-stage momentum, Tyla shares how she learned to write by keeping it simple and honest, inspired by raw projects like The Marfa Tapes. Then we get into a career highlight that still feels surreal: an Amazon Original duet with US country artist Braxton Keith, how it came together organically, and why they both landed on the same No. 1 song choice. We zoom out even further into touring life, opening for Dylan Gossett, and the shock of finding huge country music crowds at CMA Fest in Nashville and C2C in Berlin and London.  If you love modern country, live music stories, and the craft behind songs that find their people, hit play.

    Robbie Mortimer - From Farm Life to The Bend Classic - Cars Country & Camping Stage

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians Country music in Australia didn’t just get bigger, it got bolder. I’m joined by Australian country rock artist Robbie Mortimer as we catch up before his trip to South Australia for the October long weekend at The Bend Classic - Cars Country Camping at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend.  Robbie’s story starts in country New South Wales, where loving country music used to earn you a bit of grief, and ends with packed festival crowds singing back lyrics that began as bedroom demos. We get into the crossroads moments: growing up in a rugby league family, spending time in the younger grades with the Broncos, and realizing music was the thing that made him happiest. Robbie shares what it looks like to commit to the artist path, including the jobs he tried along the way, the touring grind, and the lesson that you don’t build a following by waiting for permission.  We also talk career highlights like performing on the PBR Professional Bull Riders tour, plus the creative side of the job, from music video concepts to using local friends and hometown locations to make something people actually want to share. If you’re searching for an Australian country music festival experience that goes beyond the stage, this chat is for you. The Bend Classic weekend blends live country music with cars, racing, camping, BBQ competitions, cooking sessions, youth activities, and a family movie night, and Robbie explains why it truly “has something for everyone.”  Subscribe for more artist conversations, share this with a mate who needs a road trip, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    Australian Country Music Star James Johnston Explains Why Honest Songs Travel Far - All The Way To The Bend

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians One minute you’re a 17-year-old on national TV, the next you’re sleeping in a van, chasing gigs wherever they’ll let you plug in. I sit down with Australian country music star James Johnston to talk about what actually builds a lasting career: repetition, humility, and learning who you are after the spotlight moves on. From his early days in Wingham, NSW to finishing third on Australian Idol, James shares why that moment was exciting but not the thing that “made” him, and how the pub circuit and thousands of shows shaped his voice and confidence. We also dig into why country music is exploding in Australia and around the world. James breaks down the shift from country being a guilty pleasure to becoming a festival-dominating genre, and why authenticity matters more than trends. He opens up about the grind of writing hundreds of songs before releasing the first one that truly felt like him, and how honest storytelling fuels streaming success, country radio singles, and chart runs. Then we get into the fun stuff: massive Australian country music festivals, his sold-out UK tour, and the wild events that only make sense once you see them, including camel racing. James also previews The Bend Classic Cars, Country, and Camping at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park, where country music and motorsport collide.  We close with family and the Raised Like That album, including a co-write with his wife and the sweet story of his son Koda singing on “Seeing You Soon.” If you love modern country, live shows, and real artist stories, hit play, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the podcast.

    Normie Rowe, Rock And Roll and The Fountain Of Youth

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians Normie Rowe is the kind of guest who makes you sit up straighter, laugh harder, and think a little longer after the mic clicks off. He’s 79 years young, still touring, still telling stories, and still proving that “rock and roll is the fountain of youth” only works if you back it up with the unglamorous basics: a steady routine, a practiced positive mindset, and people around you who bring real joy. We talk about what keeps him healthy and grounded, from gym days to the simple power of fun and gratitude at home with his wife, Samantha. Normie also opens up about the working musician’s life, why the best bands feel like family, and what audiences can expect when he brings his music and storytelling show to South Australia, including dates in Goolwa, Adelaide at the Princeton Club Burnside Ballroom, and Mount Gambier. Then the conversation deepens. Normie reflects on Vietnam service, the bond of serving alongside mates, and why veteran support and allied health services matter long after the uniform comes off.  Along the way, we trace the roots of his talent, the early gigs that shaped him, the discipline behind longevity in the entertainment industry, and his straight-shooting advice to any young singer who says they want a career. If you love Australian music history, live concert stories, and honest talk about perseverance, this one’s for you.

    The Bend Classic - Camping, Country Music, And Motorsports - We speak with Alistair MacDonald CEO of the Bend

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians A racetrack might be the last place you expect to find a country music weekend with line dancing, barbecue smoke in the air, and families settling in for a drive-in movie night, but that’s exactly the point of The Bend Classic.  I’m joined by Alistair McDonald, CEO of Shell V-Power Motorsport Park, to unpack how this South Australia country music festival is being built as a full long-weekend destination, not a one-night gig. We talk through what you can actually do on site beyond the main stage: motorsport action, karting, classic drags, car displays, a ute muster, whip cracking, axe throwing, and a Sunday night movie experience set up at the Dragway. If you’re comparing festivals and wondering where the value really is, the answer is in the variety and the layout. With multiple camping zones and the new infield camping option looking back toward Pit Straight, you can choose your own adventure, from simple GA vibes to a more comfortable stay with real amenities close by. On the music side, we dig into the three-stage approach, including a brand-new acoustic stage inside the Welcome Centre museum for up-close singer-songwriter sets. You’ll hear why headliners Lee Kernaghan and James Johnston are a smart one-two punch for fans of classic hits and modern country, plus how the supporting lineup and interactive moments like organized line dancing turn the weekend into something that feels communal. If you’re thinking about the October long weekend, now’s the time to plan, grab your tickets, and lock in camping before it’s gone. Subscribe, share this with your festival crew, and leave a review so more people can find the show and we can keep spotlighting great live music.

    Legendary Australian Singer John Swan, AKA Swanee Explains Why He Feels Better At 74

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians Four operations in a month will either break you or rebuild you. When John Swan joins us, he doesn’t sugarcoat what happened: time in St Vincent’s Private in Sydney, a hip replacement, complications, and that scary mental fog that can follow multiple general anesthetics at 74. But the part that grabs you is what comes next, because he’s not talking like someone who’s winding down. He’s talking like someone who’s back. We get into the day-to-day reality of healthy aging and recovery, from hill walks and weights to the frustrating math of body composition where the scale lies and your jeans tell the truth. John also shares why he now treats guitar practice like a non-negotiable, and how “use it or lose it” applies to your brain as much as your body.  If you care about Australian rock, resilience, and what it really takes to keep touring, his honesty lands hard. Then we go deeper. John tells moving stories from volunteering in hospitals and palliative care, and the moment that reminds him why music matters at all: watching someone’s eyes light up when a song cuts through pain. He also previews A Night With Swanee at The Gov in Adelaide, a no-nonsense Q and A style night with family and friends where the truth matters more than stage dressing. If this hits you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs a boost, and leave a review so more people can find the stories behind the songs. What part stayed with you most?

    We share Biscuit Tin Radios and Tambourine Tips with Artist, Mother, Partner, Dog Lover, Friend and recent ARIA Music Hall of Fame Inductee, Kate Ceberano

    Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so far Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians You can hear the real Kate Ceberano within seconds, because we catch her exactly where life is happening: at home, mid-embroidery, managing dogs, family, and a packed touring calendar. I love this chat because it’s not polished in the boring way, it’s alive in the best way. We talk about the Australian Made encore run, what audiences keep asking for, and how it feels to carry decades of Australian music history while still chasing the next creative spark.  Kate opens up about the nervous-system side of performing, that high-adrenaline rush where excitement and fear live right next to each other. She shares how needle and thread help her “recalibrate” after the stage, and how she’s turned touring downtime into portable art.  From there we dig into why nostalgia hits so hard, how songs can instantly time-travel you back to your younger self, and why the best music stops being the artist’s story and becomes everyone’s story in the room.  We also get into the craft and culture of live performance: lifting up newer artists, treating bandmates with real respect, and yes, the surprisingly serious art of tambourine.  Then we zoom out to the bigger picture, where Kate makes a bold call about discovery: if radio and the industry don’t make space for new, original Australian music, we won’t find the next generation of truly distinctive voices. She even predicts a coming backlash to frictionless AI listening and a return to one simple demand: human music now.  If you care about live music in Australia, songwriting, creativity on the road, and the future of music discovery, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a gig night, and leave us a review so more listeners can find Still Rockin' It. What is Kate Ceberano up to at the moment?  Let's find out!
