RON ‘CALLO’ CALLAGHAN

SOUTH COAST LEGEND

Where Country, Rhythm & Blues, Rock and Pop music collide you will find Ron ‘Callo’ Callaghan.

This unique Indigenous singer/songwriter from the Yuin Nation on the east coast of NSW has been entertaining audiences across Australia for decades with his heartfelt songs and positive spirit.

Ron’s honest lyrics and soulful emotion are perfectly expressed through well-crafted songs and strong melodies. His gentle guitar is complimented by a vibrato voice that is both dreamy and dynamic.

Now a mentor to many young emerging First Nations musicians on the south coast of NSW, Ron is highly regarded within his own community and amongst the broader arts sector in the southeast as a seasoned musician and performer, and someone who can hold an audience in the palm of his hand. He has an on-stage presence that demands a quiet respect and keeps people engaged through the story of his songs.

Recent gigs include National Multicultural Festival, Cobargo Folk Festival, Canberra NAIDOC awards, Luminous Festival in Moruya and Bermagui Survival Day.

Ron joins the Giiyong Festival lineup as part of the Yuin Nation South Coast regional tour supported by MusicNSW. The three-date tour begins in Batemans Bay (Walbunja) and culminates in Ron performing at Giiyong Festival.

Ron will be promoting his new album Days in a Cave at Giiyong Festival - pick up a copy and don't miss this local legend!
