Northern-Irish-born, Tasmania-based singer-songwriter DC Cardwell has gathered devoted fans around the globe with his smart, melodic songs, affecting voice, and skillful, inventive guitar playing. DC likes to describe his music as “Omnipop”, a word created by one of his other great musical heroes, female singer-songwriter Sam Phillips. Often likened to everyone's favourites, The Beatles, he's also strongly influenced by Bob Dylan, Ray Davies & Neil Young and a multitude of music genres. DC is a “triple threat” singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and in 2011 he sealed his credentials by taking out BOTH top prizes in the only song contest he's ever entered, the national Australian Catapult Song Contest, with his profoundly moving song “I Am Still The Same”.
