I’m joined by Australian country rock artist Robbie Mortimer as we catch up before his trip to South Australia for the October long weekend at The Bend Classic - Cars Country Camping at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend. Robbie’s story starts in country New South Wales, where loving country music used to earn you a bit of grief, and ends with packed festival crowds singing back lyrics that began as bedroom demos.We get into the crossroads moments: growing up in a rugby league family, spending time in the younger grades with the Broncos, and realizing music was the thing that made him happiest. Robbie shares what it looks like to commit to the artist path, including the jobs he tried along the way, the touring grind, and the lesson that you don’t build a following by waiting for permission. We also talk career highlights like performing on the PBR Professional Bull Riders tour, plus the creative side of the job, from music video concepts to using local friends and hometown locations to make something people actually want to share.If you’re searching for an Australian country music festival experience that goes beyond the stage, this chat is for you. The Bend Classic weekend blends live country music with cars, racing, camping, BBQ competitions, cooking sessions, youth activities, and a family movie night, and Robbie explains why it truly “has something for everyone.” Subscribe for more artist conversations, share this with a mate who needs a road trip, and leave a review so more people can find the show.What's Robbie Mortimer up to at the moment?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit:  ThatRadioChick.com.au
