Lee Kernaghan chats with Pete Dillon

Lee Kernaghan is the undisputed Australian King of Country. Consider 13 studio albums (all Gold, Platinum, or multi-Platinum), 40 chart-toppers, and four ARIA Awards, including the Outstanding Achievement Award for his seminal work Spirit of the Anzacs, the highest selling Australian album (all genres) of 2015. He holds 38 Golden Guitars and has been inducted into both the Australian Country Music Roll of Renown and the CMC Hall of Fame. After a sold-out run in 2024, he’s hit the road again with Boys From The Bush – The Concert, taking his trademark swagger and a setlist that spans three decades of hits to fans across the continent. This new tour features an all-star band and the promise of brand-new material—tracks that carry on his tradition of shining a spotlight on the spirit, resilience, and humour of life in the bush.
