Copperline kick off big 2025 at Tamworth Country Music Festival

After a busy 2024, Copperline are set to hit the ground running in 2025 with one of their busiest Tamworth Country Music Festivals yet.

This years festival will see the band return to the main stage in Toyota Park, where they will join the like of James Blundell and Brewn as part of Country Rocks the Park. Performances at the Press Basement Bar, the Welders Dog, Toyota Fanzone Stage and the Peel Inn in nearby Nundle round out what is shaping up to be a full dance card.

Copperline’s Tamworth appearances will kickstart a big year for the band, which will see them head back into the studio with long-time collaborator Shane Nicholson to record their much-anticipated third record.

Copperline take out national songwriting prize

Sydney country rockers Copperline joined the winners circles at the 2023 Australian Songwriters Awards, with their moving and heartfelt song Lucinda taking home the award for best ballad.

Penned by frontman Brad Christmas, the song is a poignant tribute to the much-loved daughter he lost far too early. 

I wanted to write I song I could sing to her, wherever she is now, to let her know she’s loved and thought about every day, and will never be forgotten.

Copperline were in elite company on the night, with the Bee Gee’s Barry Gibbs and Hoodoo Gurus Dave Faulkner inducted into the songwriters hall of fame on the night. 

Drummer Gareth Richards was in attendance on the night to accept the awards and rub shoulders with Australian songwriting royalty.
