Country Music Couple Lights Up Local Stage
Catch Australia’s hottest country duo, Adam Eckersley and Brooke McClymont, as they take to the stage for their Up, Down and Sideways tour. 

The married couple, known for their award-winning country music, are set to deliver an unforgettable concert experience at Kedron-Wavell in June.

Brooke said they’d played Brisbane before but with only the acoustic set.

“This time we’re bringing a full band and they are killer players, so it’s a show not to be missed,” she said.

“We are genuinely excited about this show as we have new songs from our upcoming Up, Down, and Sideways album to play and we have put together a whole new show, and all of our musical catalogue from the past.”

Brooke is no stranger to country music fans, performing with her sisters as the top-selling country music trio, The McClymonts. Adam has also had his fair share of success as a solo artist, winning five Golden Guitar Awards and being recognised for his songwriting, including the APRA Award for Country Work of the Year in 2015.

The pair’s most recent album, Up, Down and Sideways debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA all-genre Album Chart. It features hit songs like Star of the Show, which won Song of the Year at the 2023 Toyota Golden Guitar Awards, and Memory Lane, which was acknowledged as Apple Music Single of the Year.

Brooke said they loved playing all of their songs.

“We don’t have a particular favourite but we do love it when we hear the audience sing back to us,” she said.

During the COVID lockdowns, Brooke and Adam launched a new venture called Hang at the Wang, where guests camp on their property, enjoy an intimate musical performance, and ‘hang out’ for 24 hours.

The Up, Down and Sideways tour will conclude at Kedron-Wavell, promising to be a special event.

“Being the last show of the tour, we do know that the show is going to be very tight and it will be a party…most definitely!” Brooke said.

“After Kedron-Wavell, we go straight into our Hang at the Wangs for the winter season and then finish the year off with a bunch of festivals, so 2024 is looking to be a massive, but fun, year for us.”

Tickets start at $52.55. To book go to kedron-wavell.com.au/whats-on-in-brisbane/
