Two of Australia’s most applauded performers, Darren Coggan and Damien Leith, are back on stage and in good company as they celebrate the songs that shook the world by the artists that changed it.

Their new show, In Good Company, comes to Performance Arts Culture Cessnock (PACC) on Friday, 5 April, from 7.30pm for one night only.

Individually, their critically acclaimed portraits of Roy Orbison, Cat Stevens, Elvis Presley, John Denver and The Beatles have had audiences on their feet across the globe on every occasion. Now, together in one grand concert, Darren and Damien re-live the songs that the whole world sang along with, accompanied by the lush sounds of 'A Good Company of Strings Quartet'.

Damien and Darren are well-placed to be paying homage to these iconic musicians. Both have a long history of writing and performing, and the richness and diversity of Darren and Damien’s solo careers are also showcased, with a selection of their own songs and stories that reflect their musical heritage.

Damien Leith became a household name when he won Australian Idol in 2006. Since then, he has made an indelible imprint on the Australian music scene as a prolific singer songwriter, producer, author, playwright and

TV and Radio personality. With multi-platinum selling albums under his belt and acclaimed sold-out tours paying homage to greats like Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley, Damien is one of the country’s most beloved performers.

Darren Coggan is a masterful storyteller who has carved an impressive career in the Australian country music industry with a swag of Golden Guitars under his belt. Darren is equally at home in musicals and on screen, currently presenting the lifestyle TV program Sydney Weekender. He has received critical acclaim for his portrait of Cat Stevens, which has seen him perform sold-out shows everywhere, including Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, Glasgow Concert Hall and Liverpool Philharmonic.

The two-hour show is back-to-back hits with immortal songs from the treasure trove of music history. Tickets are on sale at the PACC Box Office, by phone on 02 4993 4266 or online at mypacc.com.au.
