A living legend of Australia's country music scene, Troy Cassar-Daley will release his first studio album in five years when 'The World Today' drops in March.
The songs for 'The World Today' first began arriving shortly after Troy's father died and a period of deep reflection."I looked at myself in the mirror one morning and asked myself 'what do I have to say?' and 'where do I go from here?'. Then COVID hit and I was like a rudderless ship bouncing in a sea of nothingness.
"Instead of staying in the darkness that had surrounded me I found light in making music and telling stories, which was my saving grace as a kid and to this day as an adult.
"Suddenly I had 25 songs, a new deal with Sony Music Australia and some purpose to make new music once again."
A winner of a staggering 37 Golden Guitars as well as 9 Deadly Awards and 4 ARIA Awards, the first taste of Cassar-Daley's 'The World Today' is lead single 'Back On Country'.
"'Back On Country’ is a term largely used by Indigenous Australians and it gives us the feeling of belonging," Troy says.
"My dream is that everyone can feel connection and have the responsibility to look after our land together as one people."
Troy has a number of festival performances lined-up in 2021 including Bluesfest Byron Bay, Gympie Music Muster, Deni Ute Muster and Savannah In The Round. Ticket information.
'The World Today' will be released 19 March. Pre-order it.
