Celebrating the release of his new album GOD ROCK,
Colin Buchanan will travel throughout Australia from August to October 2011 performing his typically humoured style of concert suitable for both children and adults. An award winning Christian artist the Sydney Morning Herald has affirmed Colin as
"...simply the best singer/songwriter to emerge in the Australian CM scene in the last decade."
Colin is widely renowned as a number one children's performing Christian artist, singer/songwriter and author. His award winning career has seen him presented with numerous Golden Guitar awards, 3 ARIA Music award nominations and an APRA Award for his hit song 'Hat Town' (written with the popular county music artist Lee Kernaghan).
His other career highlights include over 15 years of national radio hosting including
"regular appearances on the top rating 702 ABC Sydney satirical weekly wrap-up, 'Thank God It's Friday' with Richard Glover" and various roles as a national television presenter in popular children's shows like
Play School (ABC) and
Playhouse Disney.
His unique musical career has seen him reach beyond the Christian community with widespread songs like 'Beaconsfield' (attributed to the release of Brant Russell and Todd Webb who were trapped in the Tasmanian mining disaster in 2006) and 'Goodbye Crocodile Hunter' which exemplified the life of Steve Irwin. About this song Colin says,
"It's my version of the makeshift signs that have appeared recognising how unique and special the man was. Like Beaconsfield, that first simple recording is there for anyone to download and share." Colin freely shares these inspirational songs on his website.
Colin Buchanan's concerts are for the whole family. His entertaining manner draws adults and children alike into an atmosphere of singing, dancing and laughing. Interacting with the audience through hilarious performances you'll sing along to a host of old favourites and new songs from his recent hit album GOD ROCK.
