Singer, award wining songwriter, world renown guitar maker and now author, Don Morrison has shared the stage with many of the biggest names in Australian music. From Midnight Oil, Hunters and Collectors, Billy Thorpe, Joe Camilleri, Australian Crawl, Men At Work, Stephen Cummings, Ross Wilson to a hundred more in more than thirty years in music game. He has worked with Bo Diddly, Joe Cocker, Rodriguez and even Billy Ray Cyrus. He was brave enough to stand next to Shakin_x0019_ Stephens in a urinal and nearly killed by Willie Nelson in Austin, Texas. He_x0019_ s done gigs from Bridgetown to Byron Bay, from Sydney to San Antonio and released ten CDs of mostly original songs under his own name and that of his many bands such as The Bodgies, Raging Thirst, The Elmores, The Lonely Cosmonauts, Prawnhead and The Rank Outsiders. He might not be as young and pretty as he once was but he_x0019_ s not done yet. Dubbed the Larrikin Troubadour Laureate of Adelaide, Don's show is called "This Could Be Big", the story in words and song, that make up his book of the same name. It's a musical story of his more than thirty years at the dag end of the Australian Music Industry. The sense of humour, songwriting skill and voice that has seen him through the hardest times in a notoriously brutal industry shine through in this performance. Don makes his own guitars, writes his own songs and sings them himself. "This Could Be Big" is a unique, fascinating, funny and moving musical experience. www.donmo.com
