Local Lad Wins 2010 Toyota Star Maker

Local Margate artist Luke Austen was recently crowned the winner of the 2010 Toyota Star Maker Award at the prestigious Tamworth Country Music Festival. Luke was named the winner from 19 finalists and six grand finalists.

The talented singer, songwriter and guitarist is already well known in the country music industry being part of Troy Cassar-Daley's permanent touring band since 2004. In 2009 he released a 5 track EP No Stranger to the Rain.

You will be able to see Luke live at the festival as he takes to the stage at the Main Concert and  Urban Blaze Concert .
