About Wayne Horsburgh
- Wayne Horsburgh (born 11 June 1955, in Benalla, Victoria) is an Australian country music entertainer.
- He currently lives near Sydney, Australia, and Branson, Missouri, United States. Horsburgh's career began at the age of 11 when he formed his own dance band in rural Victoria[1].
- In 1978, he was asked by Buddy Williams (Australia's pioneer of country music)[2] to tour Australia.
- By 1979, Horsburgh had moved to Sydney to pursue his musical career[8]. Horsburgh is noted by fans and critics alike for his smooth voice, excellent falsetto notes, impressive vocal range, yodelling abilities, and his willingness to popularize and maintain a broad range of traditional country music art forms.[3][4]His influences include Slim Whitman, Frank Ifield, Jim Reeves and Marty Robbins.[4][5]Setting his sights even higher, Horsburgh performed for a season in the United Kingdom in 1982 and investigated the US music and entertainment scene in 1984.[5]In 1989, Horsburgh was introduced to United States’ country music audiences when he performed at the Hodag Festival in Rhinelander, Wisconsin[6].
- A groundswell of audience appreciation and the establishment of a US-based fan club were among the reasons Horsburgh based himself in Nashville by the mid-'90s for each American summer season[7]. The year 1997 saw yet another move for Horsburgh - this time a relocation to the live entertainment capital of the USA: Branson, Missouri[8].
- In addition to a full tour schedule - predominantly in the Midwest[1]- Horsburgh has represented his home nation at the international music and cultural festival - Silver Dollar City's WorldFest - each spring since 1998.[9]He continues to entertain on the Australian club circuit during the summer months of the southern hemisphere.[8]In 2013 Horsburgh was inducted into the Australian Roll of Renown.
