The following is a very brief biography of Luke Goodwin’s musical life and how he has become the successful, passionate musician he is today.
Luke was born in 1981 and grew up with a large family of 7 children.
He expressed a passion for singing very early however first picked up a guitar in his early high school years and quickly developed as a
motivated and talented performer. He featured as the front man for 2 bands through out these years both of which achieved high praise and recognition, highlighted by winning a battle of the bands and receiving a spot at the Redcliffe Bomboora Festival along side many high profile acts including Kate Cebrano.
Luke is a completely self taught guitarist but received classical vocal
training for 4 yrs, and now stands out as one of the most dynamic
vocalists around. He often led the school choir and performed in
musicals and school concerts whenever possible.
Directly out of high school Luke thrust himself into the professional music scene and began performing in various bands and duos on the sunshine coast. With a wide variety of influences and large repertoire of popular covers, he had no trouble securing regular work for a solid 5 years. These groups did however drift apart and Luke decided to begin work as a solo artist.
Since this time Luke has grown into a captivating entertainer, with powerful vocals and the ability to perform to any crowd. His influences include music of many genres from classics such
as Beatles, Eagles and Credence through to modern artists Jack Johnson, Powderfinger and John Mayer. Luke regularly performs all over the Sunshine Coast and often travels to various
regional areas of Queensland. He has also been fronting the Luke Goodwin Duo and Trio, with some of his close musical friends, who provide great support and add that extra something for
venues/events who require larger acts.
Luke has always had a deep passion for original music and began writing when he was 15.
He has since written over 100 original songs and has finally decided it’s time to put together his first album, which he hopes to release mid 2012.
Luke has an easy going personality and is always keen to perform. He is available for solo, duo and band cover and original performances.

Dan Fargo has been working consistently throughout Eastern Australia and overseas since the late 90’s.
Having performed the widest scope of venues imagined, Dan’s expertise is versatility in the songs he performs, and listening to Dan’s live show, it is obvious that it represents the culmination of this vast experience and the development of his signature style. An outstanding performer, Dan is always ready for any venue and any audience.

Two words sum up this performer.

1/. VERSATILITY

2/. PROFESSIONALISM

Brad has been performing in the Queensland music scene since the
early 90s in various formats. His career has come full circle since
then having progressed from solo performances, to his six year stint
as front man of the highly successful Brisbane covers act “Piston
Broke” and then on to another six year run in the very popular duo “2
Not Out” and now in the midst of the next chapter with act “TOO EZY ”.

Brad has now taken on all of this experience and incorporated it into
an extremely versatile solo act. The key is a broad knowledge of all
genres so as to appeal to a wide cross range of audience in varying
styles. From a laid back and extremely easy listening bistro style to
a more up-tempo after work public bar audience, Brad can cover it
for you. Although the performance is in an unplugged acoustic
style, as this is the style that this performer prefers, this does not
detract from the entertainment aspect of the show. Requests are
always considered and Brad likes to make his audience feel welcome
with his personable and easily approachable style.

Keeping the 60’s & 70’s alive!

In 1998, four inspired musicians came up with a new band called   Late For Woodstock. The group embraced the songs, artists and lifestyle of modern music’s most popular and enduring era.

The 60’s and 70’s did more than just pass by. It was the adolescence of a new world. Flower power, hippies, the antiwar movement, bell bottoms and the summer of love, combined to spawn a new era of peace in humanity’s “ the Age of Aquarius, if you will.

This legacy of peace, love and world vision was etched in stone by an amazing collection of songs and sounds that captured the essence of mankind’s most creative years in music. Artists were bursting with a mass of creativity that is, so far, unsurpassed.

Late for Woodstock initially formed to bring these classic sounds and images back to live audiences. The four-piece line up features rhythm and lead guitars, harmonica, bass and drums with four part harmonies. The players, who all grew up in the 60’s and ‘turned on’ in the 70’s, are experienced musicians who simply love the music with every fibre of their collective being.

With the motto, “tune in, turn on and rock out,” LFW brought their music to thousands of people at venues across Queensland and NSW. A loyal following soon developed as people began to rediscover that the music of the 60’s & 70’s was alive and kicking.

Now, after a four-year hiatus, these hippies of the last millennium, these keepers of the faith, Late for Woodstock have reformed!

Unlike the majority of bands on the covers/tribute circuit, Late for Woodstock don’t just play the music, they live it. The band is more of an artistic expression than an act. The music runs in their blood, fuelling their passion to faithfully recreate some of the best songs ever written.

Having no shortage of classic covers and artists to choose from, LFW make a connection with an audience that now spans three generations. From laid-back acoustic songs to full-on electric rock, the music captures an era that allows for such freedom and invites you to do the same.

If your choice in music include the likes of  John Butler Trio, Jet, Nirvana, Audioslave, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foofighters, Led Zep, Ac/Dc and other masters of power rock, then this incredible trio cannot fail you.

In the hands of these undoubted masters the songs are delivered from the heart. Not just by heart but with heart. The energy is compulsive. You must move.

Lead Vocals and Bass Guitar are one in JAMES FOX. His fingers seemingly autonomous with his instrument, he sings with passion and power. His flying riffs and soaring voice are joined at the hip with magic drumster JASON MAHA. At times a blur behind the kit this maestro makes his drums give their all.

The tight and wild combination laid down creates the foundation for talented Lead Guitarist GLENNO CUNNINGHAM to whisper or scream, lull or excite. These NATIVE ALIENS are undeniable .
