The story
The Southern Cross to the
Red, White & Blue
From the serene landscapes of Nannup, Western Australia, to the neon lights of Nashville, Dave Kent draws inspiration from figures such as Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn.
Dave released his debut EP Nannup to Nashville in early 2025, generating more than 100,000 streams across platforms. It followed his 2024 single ‘80 Proof’, added to High Rotation on ABC Country.
Look out for his sound — a journey from the Southern Cross to the red, white, and blue.
