Road to Nashville starts at Gulgong

31 Dec, 2009 08:39 AM
An album by a multi-talented trio of Mudgee brothers has caught the attention of radio stations in the United States’ country music capital, Nashville.

Shardyn, Tayzin and Makirum Fahey, who perform as Brothers 3, recently recorded their album Where Eagles Fly at Robertson Brothers Studio.

The debut single, Road to Carcalgong, is an original “feel good country” song inspired by the family farm near Mudgee.

A music video produced by CMC award-winner Ross Wood features numerous views of the property.

The boys’ mother and manager, actress and former Simon Townsend’s Wonder World reporter Alita Fahey, said Road to Carcalgong has already been picked up by country music stations in Australia and the United States.

Shardyn, 14, Tayzin, 13, and Makirum, 12, are already seasoned performers, having appeared on television, stage and musicals.

Shardyn toured with Hugh Jackman as the young Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, Tayzin has worked extensively with Opera Australia and in television, and Makirum has appeared in films including Black Balloon.

The boys not only sing and dance but play up to nine instruments each, interchanging between instruments during their live performances.

Brothers 3 recently signed a deal with rising independent label Hardrush which involves singles, albums, publishing and touring assistance.

The group will kick off their tour at the Gulgong Folk Festival, which begins today.

Although the Gulgong crowd won’t compare to the 16,000 Shardyn sang to in the Boy from Oz arena production, the group is looking forward to the experience.

“I love being on stage,” said Shardyn. “It’s good to go up in front of an audience.”

Tayzin said Gulgong audiences can expect “lots of harmonies and changes of instruments and maybe even a bush tap dance” from the Brothers 3.

Hardrush will release Road To Carcalgong for world distribution on January 1, followed by the album Where The Eagles Fly at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
