Steve Case

Steve Case was a little shocked and bemused when, after rocking the house at one of the nation’s biggest and best known Country Music Festivals, the feedback he received from judges was simply “Your jeans aren’t country enough”.

At blues festivals he wasn’t bluesy enough, at folk festivals not quite folky enough and so after years of trying to fit in, Case changed tact, quit his 9 to 5 job, bought a van and began life as a travelling troubadour - playing his songs, his way to his kind of people.

This travelling eventually landed him in the Kimberley - one of the most beautiful and remote parts of Australia. And it is little wonder that after years of not knowing where he belonged, he found his home amongst the red dirt and salt of the earth characters in the Australian outback.

Case is no pretender - his honesty coupled with an easy going and engaging stage persona has endeared him to audiences throughout the country. He is in his element playing to fellow travellers, grey nomads, tourists and vagabonds with songs that are true to his personal experiences yet widely relatable.

He is now a musical veteran having released three albums, five EPs and three singles while showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

2017 marked Case’s first foray into genuine comedy territory with the release of “Double Dick Derek” which has gone on to achieve cult status amongst fans.

He has also released a children’s album ”Chidwins" featuring eight Case-penned originals and two covers including a rock version of the "Alphabet Song", demonstrating his wide appeal to audiences young and old.

It is however his songs of travel and Australia such as “Living the Dream”, “Kimberley Song” and “Man in a Van” which continue to endear him to audiences and which makes Steve Case a unique and enduring voice in the Australian music scene.
