Dan Brodie is a renowned Australian singer-songwriter, and double ARIA Award nominee.
With a career spanning multiple Album releases and tours and a hard earned reputation as an incredible live performer, Dan Brodie has gained a loyal following across Australia, the US, and Europe, performing at venues such as L.A.’s Roxy Theatre, CBGB in New York, L’Olympia in Paris, and music festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Big Day Out, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Gumball and Byron Bay Bluesfest along with recent headline appearances at Dashville Skyline and Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Brodie was raised in a musical family and his father, a guitarist and bandleader in Melbourne's nascent 60's rock n roll scene, showed Brodie the basics of guitar and piano and along with his brother Chris, they began making music together.
With his band the Broken Arrows, (later The Grieving Widows), Brodie signed to EMI Australia and Last Call Records (later Beast Records) in France, and his talents are recognised in his native Australia with two ARIA Award nominations for his second album, Empty Arms, Broken Hearts.
In early 2019 Brodie teamed up with producer and multi-instrumentalist, Michael Hubbard (Spencer P Jones, Eagle and the Worm) at Shrimp Shack Studios in Melbourne, to release Funeraria do Vale followed by 2023's 'The Ballad of Cowboy Dan’ Rhythms Magazine were glowing in it’s praise of the record claiming “..fascinating sonic twists and turns of phrase make this album an endlessly rewarding listen.”
With 2026 release, Suburban Dreaming Brodie creates a work where memoir, spoken word and song collide, and the suburbs come alive.
Set against immersive soundscapes, Suburban Dreaming transforms the suburbs into both setting and metaphor—a landscape of quiet desperation, strange beauty and unrealised dreams. Blurring the boundaries between concert, theatre and memoir, it invites audiences into a deeply personal and unforgettable live experience.
Suburban Dreaming marks a bold new chapter in Brodie's creative journey, bringing together storytelling, music and lived experience in his most ambitious and compelling work to date.
