About this event
21+ / www.carolspub.comWade Forster doesn't just sing country music - he's lived it. Born, raised, and still working on a cattle station deep in the Queensland outback, his life has been built on dust, hard work, and long days in the saddle. A professional rodeo cowboy, he's spent years on the circuit, chasing buckles, riding hard, and living the kind of stories most country singers only write about. Music was always there - blaring through truck speakers, rattling off tin roofs, or belted out the back of a Gooseneck. But it wasn't until 2017, when he moved to Mount Isa for a refrigeration job, that he decided to buy a guitar - just a $50 find off Marketplace. Teaching himself to play in his free time, he started sharing rough covers online. People told him he had a good voice, but rodeo always came first. Then, in 2021, a simple cover of Tyler Childers' Oneida changed everything. It racked up views fast, and for the first time, Wade wondered if music was more than just a pastime. With winnings from a few hard-earned rodeo checks, he booked time at Simon Johnson's Hillbilly Hut Studio and recorded his debut album, The Beginning. The album doesn't dress things up or shy away from the hard stuff - depression, loss, love, and the struggles of rural life. Wade sings about the things most blokes in small towns don't talk about out loud - the quiet battles, the moments that knock you flat, and the weight that doesn't always lift. His songs aren't poetry - they're real stories, told with the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you're living them right alongside him.
