Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so farJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansA country legend doesn’t happen by accident, and Lee Kernaghan is proof. We jump on Zoom with Lee to unpack the real origin story: a musical family, a dad who sang about trucks and life on the road, and years of scraping by with gigs wherever a crowd would listen. It’s the kind of Australian country music journey that’s equal parts hard work and heart, and it explains why his songs still feel like they’re written for real people, not playlists.We also get into the moment things finally shifted. Lee shares how record labels turned him down before ABC Music backed him to a life-changing run of albums, awards, and touring. Along the way, we talk songwriting craft, including his long collaboration with Garth Porter and the simple creative rule that keeps working: write from your own life, tell the truth, and let the chorus do the heavy lifting.Then we head straight into the dust and noise of the Deni Ute Muster. Lee breaks down how it started in 1999 during drought, why it’s now a bucket-list Australian music festival, and what makes it unlike any other event, from rodeo and bull riding to that legendary car park energy. We highlight the massive lineup, the ticket rush, and the community fundraising that keeps money flowing back to the region. Plus, Lee drops a genuine update on what’s next: new music before the Muster, an album on the horizon, and even the possibility of vinyl.If you love Australian country, live music stories, and the culture that surrounds rural festivals, this conversation is for you.
