Curtain will be performing at Camden Bicentennial Equestrian Park this Friday (February 6) and Moss Vale Showground on Saturday as part of his ‘Here’s To You’ tour.
The tour coincides with the release of his sixth studio album, Here’s To You, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Country Albums Chart and No.1 on the AIR Independent Albums Chart.
The three-hour event includes a one-hour ‘Katherine Outback Experience’ horse and dog show and two hours of live music by Curtain, Chris Matthews and Laura Frank.

Curtain won two Golden Guitar awards in 2018 for his singe ‘Never Never Land’ – a duet with Luke O’Shea.
He was also awarded the prestigious 2018 Australian Independent Country Music Artist of the Year Award as well as Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (Territory Time) and Single of the Year (Never Never Land) at the Southern Stars Australian Independent Country Music Awards.
Curtain is also an official ambassador for Dolly’s Dream.
Moved by the tragic passing of Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett – the teen who took her own life after being relentlessly bulled online – Curtain put pen to paper and released the single ‘Speak Up’ with Sara Storer.
He has raised more than $100,000 through the sale of the song and branded merchandise to help fight online bullying.
Curtain’s Katherine Outback Experience has won numerous awards in recent years including ‘Best Tourist Attraction’ at the 2024 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
The show celebrates life on the land through horse training, working dog demonstrations and outback humour.
Curtain hosts the Katherine Outback Season during the dry season from mid-April to mid-October and spends the rest of the time on the road.
He likes to perform in towns that are often overlooked on the entertainment trail.
