March 12th, third show in Brisbane –

Country music icon, and his Australian fans have proven that they crave to
see all those hits performed live.
This makes the timing perfect to launch the “Alan Jackson Tribute Show”

and special guest tribute to- Charlie Daniels.
Dail’s other current shows include the “Highwaymen tribute show” and The
Willie Nelson Tribute Show and The “Johnny Cash tribute Show” which has been

An excellent musician – playing Accoustic and Electric guitars, Mandolin &
Banjo – he is also one of Australia's top Fiddle Players”.
It is no wonder he has been filling rooms and wowing audiences throughout
Australia and loving it!
Highwaymen Tribute Act
Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris
Kristofferson, four towering giants in the music industry.
Collectively, as THE HIGHWAYMEN, the quartet has a unique connection to
Australians
that has only strengthened over the last two decades.
THE HIGHWAYMEN toured Australia in 1991 and 1995,
playing Newcastle,
Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane,
attracting hundreds of thousands to their concerts and appearances and
generating an excitement
rivalled only by that of The Beatles.
Now, Canadian-born international performer and producer Dail Platz - along
with Steve Taylor
and award-winning Australian songwriter
and entertainer Brent Lillie
has re-created the magic that is THE
HIGHWAYMEN .
'This is a tribute in the true sense of the
word,' producer Dail Platz states.
'Putting the three-man show together, we had an almost overwhelming amount of
great material to choose from.
The Highwaymen also recorded songs by other artists like Steve Earle and Bob
Seger,
and we have included a few of these in the show as well'.
Featuring acoustic and
electric guitars, banjo, fiddle and harmonica,
THE HIGHWAYMEN TRIBUTE SHOW
sets new standards instrumentally and vocally.
All the Highwaymen's
great songs are included: 'Desperadoes Waiting for a Train', 'Live Forever', '
Highwayman'
and many more, along with individual classics like
'Luckenbach Texas', 'On the Road Again', 'Folsom Prison Blues', 'Ring of Fire'
and 'Help me Make it Through the Night' – 40 classic songs in all.
Imagine, THE HIGHWAYMEN, plus the best of the best from four legendary artists
that's like five shows rolled into one!
Johnny Cash Tribute
"ROCKABILLY CASH" A
perfect mix of Hillbilly Country and Rock & Roll.
From “Hello, I'm Johnny Cash” you'll be taken on a journey back to Johnny
Cash's early days,
back when he was touring with artists like Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee
Lewis.
At the time these packaged shows were labled Rock and Roll but cash's style
was really a mix of R&R and Hillbilly Country,
often referred to as Rockabilly.
These four great Musicians, Dail Platz, Brent Lillie, Dallas Southam and
Laurie Keating
accurately capture that Authentic Cash sound. With Accoustic Guitar, Slap
Bass, Luther style Muted Electric
and that famous train style groove on the drums.
You'll hear all of his biggest hits from Folsom Prison Blues, Ring Of Fire,
I walk the line, Ghost Riders, Jackson, Big River, Cry Cry Cry, and many
more .
We'll also throw in a bit Fiddle, Harmonica and Pedal Steel just to put some
ice cream on that Apple Pie.
Willie Nelson - Dail Platz -
Tribute Act
DailPlatz is Willie Nelson in his magical tribute to the versatile, eclectic
and wanderlust country music legend.
A
songwriter of precise elegance, Willie brought the worlds of pop and country
together in the early 1960's penning evergreen classics
like 'Crazy' (Patsy Cline), 'Hello Walls (Faron Young), 'Funny How Time
Slips Away' (Billy Walker) and 'Night Life' (Ray Price).
It all came together for Nelson with the Number One album, 'Red-Headed
Stranger'.
His offbeat phrasing and distinctive nasal tones set a new standard for
"outlaw" country music
and simultaneously made him one of country music’s biggest-selling stars.
As a unique song stylist, the bearded, braided-haired, bandanna-wearing
non-conformist took a number of non-country standards
and made them his own, including Elvis Presley's "You Were Always on My
Mind" and Ray Charle's' "Georgia on My Mind."
These songs, along with classics like 'On the Road Again', 'Me and Bobby
McGee' and 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain'
are included in Platz's mesmerising tribute to Willie Nelson.
Texans had known for 15 years what ‘Red Headed Stranger’ finally revealed to
the world:
that Nelson is simply too brilliant a songwriter, interpreter, and singer —
just too damn universal — to be defined as merely a country artist.
Platz gives his audience an insight into the world that Nelson has created,
a world so seductive that you want to linger there indefinitely.
In his tribute, Platz covers the wide range of styles Nelson embraced, which
include Latin American,
Tex-Mex, Jazz, Western Swing, Blues, Traditional
Country,
Big Band and Rockabilly.
An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Canadian born Platz criss-crossed
North America, performing in a multitude of venues
before making the move to
Australia.
He has performed in and produced several highly-successful tributes to
Alan Jackson, The Highwaymen and Johnny Cash.
In his Tribute to Willie Nelson, Platz has found a way
to reach into the musical soul of this iconic artist
and share it with his
audience wherever he performs. Join DailPlatz in celebrating the musical genius of "Willie Nelson."
