Andy Golledge

When Andy Golledge performs, people take notice. Many years of performing live has honed his skills in knowing how to write a killer song and knowing how to knock an audience off their feet. “Andy Golledge has carved out a niche as Sydney's king of alt-country, and it only takes half an hour with the man and his band to see exactly why that is. Golledge's music is boozy, rowdy and rocking, but simultaneously heartfelt and personal. Beyond the quasi-ironic yeehaw agenda, that's really what country music is all about." (Music Feeds) His name is folklore in regional NSW and inner Sydney, both for the exhilarating unpredictability of his live shows and the curveballs of his repertoire, genre-hopping between 60s country and classic rock & roll. The band consists of some of the most respected musicians in the alt country/Americana scene in Australia, with a show that can take you from tender to tears, to rollicking and dancing wildly. His debut album won ‘Best Independent Country Album/EP’ at the AIR Awards 2023 – it was nominated for ‘Best Country Album’ at the ARIA Awards 2022 and ‘Best Alternative Country Album’ at the CMAA Golden Guitar Awards 2023. The mission was to nail the unpredictability and energy of the live show and they definitely accomplished that, to say the least. This year will see Andy Golledge release his follow-up record to 'Strength of a Queen'. His upcoming album 'Young, Dumb & Wild is slated for release in April 2024.
