Brendan Deehan has worked in the Sydney pub scene for the last 15 years, playing covers as a soloist and part of the duo, Red Light Ruby. Like many artists, he has his dad’s record collection to thank for leading him to country music. With influences including The Beatles and John Denver to discovering Keith Urban in his 20s, teenage Brendan also loved Nirvana. At a time when grunge music was king, he naturally gravitated to it and even played in a few genre-specific bands. But the singer-songwriter kept crafting softer acoustic songs geared towards finger-picking and prettier sounds. A natural pull to country music was inevitable.
