Gary Shearston, Australian singer and songwriter, was a leading figure of the folk music revival of the 1960s, especially remembered for his authentic versions of old 'bush' songs (folk songs). Gary achieved international success as a songwriter (e.g. Sometime Lovin' performed by Peter, Paul and Mary) and as a recording artist (e.g. his distinctive version of Cole Porter's I Get A Kick Out Of You was a hit in 1974). Over the years his music has absorbed and adapted a diverse range of elements including Australian aboriginal and West Indian reggae (before either was popular with mainstream western audiences). In 1990 he was recognised in Australian country music with the Tamworth Songwriters' Association's award for Bush Ballad of the Year. Discerning listeners will know that much of Gary's songwriting has reflected a 'spiritual' thread running through his life and today he is a minister of religion in rural Australia and still writes, sings and records original songs. Gary Shearston songs are available on CD and reissued 'archive CD' (CD-R). This Site Last Updated 2007 NOVEMBER 20
