Dan Sultan

WOMADelaide audiences enjoyed an initial taste of Dan Sultan's sultry inner city soul music when his

band anchored the stirring Black Arm Band performance at the 2008 festival. After a busy year of

national and international touring, the evocative Melbourne singer-songwriter returns to showcase the virtues of his own songs, as highlighted on the 2007 album Homemade Biscuits (funded by John

Bulter's JB Seed project) and a new release slated for early 2009. Dan has been winning the approval of his peers through intense live performances - sharing the stage with Paul Kelly, Kev Carmody, Missy Higgins, Archie Roach, Jimmy Little, Shane Howard, The John Butler Trio and The Waifs - and smart song crafting that has rich soul strains germinated from country seed. His melodic talent is clearly evident on the award-winning single Your Love is Like a Song, and a rousing Sorry Day anthem Roslyn, a stolen generation story that reflects the plight of his mother. Dan's strong collaboration with guitarist Scott Wilson forms the nucleus of a knockout band that has become hot property on the Australian live scene, with Jarrod Ross on bass guitar, Peter Marin on drums, Gina Woods on keyboards and with Steven and Ben Veale comprising a hot horn section.
