The Dalton Gang burst onto the Australian music scene in April 1995 and their polished sound and well crafted arrangements have been impressing audiences ever since.
Their first performance was at Melbourne’s Dallas Brooks Hall as support for American country star Don Williams. Not only did the audience want to hear more of this talented threesome, but Don and his band commented that ….”The Dalton Gang sounded more like a hot five piece band than a trio…”
The Dalton Gang have been the backing band for Beccy Cole, Deniese Morrison, Noel Watson and Johnny Chester. Late in 1995 the band formed the core of Johnny Chesters touring band and accompanied him at the Twin Towns Services Club N.S.W and early in 1996, toured Tasmania for ten days, including two nights at Wrest Point Casino. With “Chess” they were also part of the support for Merle Haggard at the Myer Music Bowl.
The Dalton Gang continue working around clubs, pubs, festivals and private functions in and around Melbourne and country Victoria. With 3 lead vocalists the repertoire is extensive, catch them live, you won’t be sorry.
