Originally from Kuranda in Australia, Dave Cooke has been a full-time musician from 2001, working both across the country and overseas. During the past few years, he has won over plenty of music lovers, sold thousands of his CDs and seen his fan base become particularly strong across the far northern region in places such as Cairns, Port Douglas, Kuranda, Mission Beach and Cooktown.
In Dave’s music, one finds a simple yet amazing mixture of acoustic guitar, powerful vocals, stomp box and didgeridoos which together produce rich tunes with driving intensity and interesting diversity.
Cooke’s style is a combination of roots and folk. Apart from recording his second album titled ‘hieroglyphs’ in Kuranda, the musician has been busy performing all over Australia, played support for Ash Grunwald in Cairns and performed alongside acts such as Dallas Frasca, Tijuana Cartel and Daniel Champagne two years running at the Wallaby ck festival near Cooktown.
Now you can watch Dave live when he takes the stage at the Lennox. What makes him extraordinary is that he has a broad appeal and does classics, roots, blues, folk and pop styles. Through these diverse abilities, the man can engage any audience, so no matter what your age and musical taste, be sure not to miss this event.
