Through his career Broderick Smith has earned a deep respect from his peers, audiences, and from within the music industry, for the originality and strength of his songs and performance.
With a gift for an almost theatrical range of expression, he has delivered some of the most thoughtful and inspired music Australia has produced. Songs like Way Out West, My Shiralee, and My Fathers Hand.
Broderick started playing blues and folk music in the 60s. His first recording was in 1972 with blues and boogie band Carson, then in 1973, he was a founding member of The Dingoes, the legendary band that remains a pivotal inspiration in Australian country rock.
After a lengthy stint in the USA with The Dingoes, he returned to Australia and chart-topping success with his band Broderick Smith's Big Combo before resting from the stresses of constant touring, investigating the advertising industry, and ultimately returning to further hone his song-writing skills. Half a dozen solo albums later, Broderick is still evolving as an artist, and many believe the peak of his career and artistry, is still to come.
