Originally from Jindabyne in NSW, Australian singer-songwriter Brad Cox is bringing his Everything I’ve Got tour to the University of Canberra on Thursday 17 October.

The ARIA nominated, Golden Guitar winning country star is filling his “huge” Mack truck “full of tricks” for a tour being described as “unlike anything his fans have seen before”.

He will play at his biggest venues to date.

Aiming for something a little bit different with these shows, Cox has invited a live podcast to open for each show.

The musician caught up with CD/CW to talk about his upcoming tour and his love for Australia’s capital where the audience are likely to be joined by his family and friends.

What can audiences attending the show expect to see?

Audiences can expect the best Brad Cox show to date. Having this truck has allowed us to upgrade the level of production staging and overall show that we can bring to these towns.

Where did the tour name ‘Everything I’ve Got Tour’ come from?

⁠The name came jointly from releasing a new song called Everything I’ve Got along with the fact I’ve got a large truck trailer to fill with all of the obnoxious equipment I own.

Why has Canberra been selected as the starting point for the tour and what significance does the venue for the show, University of Canberra, hold for you?

It’s significant in the fact it’s the closest capital city to my hometown, the closest show to where I grew up. It also helps to be within overnight driving distance to the next show to load in the next day. So, it worked well with Sydney and Wollongong for the weekend.  

Hailing from a town just two hours away from the ACT, Jindabyne, what do you enjoy the most about performing in and visiting Canberra?

Canberra has always been an important part of the Brad Cox touring circuit. I always love playing in Canberra because a lot of my friends and family come to the shows. 

How does it feel to have progressed to playing in bigger venues?

It feels great because that’s always the goal. I’ve always wanted to do bigger and better shows as progression allowed.

What’s your favourite song to perform and why?

Over the last 12 months, my favourite song would have to be Acres (which was released in 2023) to play live. It’s the title track off my last album and it always really hits with the fans, and it relates to a part of my life that brings me a lot of joy.

What’s next for you after this tour?

The next tour and the next tour and the next tour and the next tour and the next tour.

Who is the man behind the performer?

The same bloke that is the performer.
