The Big Daddys
Sydney

The Big Daddys have played sellout shows from Palm Beach in Sydney to Shanghai in China. The brainchild of Paul Christie, (Mondo Rock, The Party Boys) the band understands the audience it plays to and more specifically, what that audience wants in terms of entertainment and repertoire.

The band exclusively targets the 35 to 55+ age demographic and generally promotes its own shows, which works remarkably well. These shows comprise two 'sets' of 1 hour and 1.5 hours.

In 2002 The Big Daddys augmented the line up with the very gifted keyboard player & singer, Rick Melick. The band also features regular guests that have included ~ Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter from Steely Dan & The Doobie Brothers, Jon Stevens, Ross Wilson, Angry Anderson, Ian Moss, Joe Camilleri and Shauna Jensen.

The Big Daddys are: Kevin Borich, Australia's #1 rock and blues guitarist, Paul Christie, ex Mondo Rock and still a member of The Party Boys, Richard Harvey, ex Divinyls and one of the best drummers ever to come out of Australia, and John Spence, ex Fargone Beauties.

Guest keyboard player Rick Melick also performs regularly with The Big Daddys. Rick is a session keyboard player and has performed with numerous world-class acts including Air Supply, Andy Gibb, Dragon, Swanee, Jon English, Ross Ryan, Jeff St.John, Rose Tattoo, Doug Parkinson, Stevie Wright, Marc Hunter, Troy Newman, Tania Bowra, Glenn Shorrock & Brian Cadd, Nathan Cavaleri, James Blundell, Grace Knight & Jimmy Little.
