Macedon Ranges singer/songwriter Taylor Sheridan has soared to the top of several charts with his self-produced debut album, Troubadour.
On June 14 the album reached Number 1 on the Aria Country Album chart, Number 1 on the Australian Independent Album chart, Number 4 on the Aria Australian Album chart, Number 1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Album chart and Number 1 Overall iTunes Album.
It also reached Number 15 in the Aria Vinyl Charts – the only Australian album to be included on the list.
The 33-year-old Kyneton-raised musician was relieved and excited by the album’s success.
“I’m just glad that the gamble paid off,” Taylor told the Express.
“It’s exceeded all expectations and that’s pretty wild.
“As musicians, we all think that we’ve got something inside us that can do something of this magnitude.
“I’m grateful that it has, and that people have taken to it.
“It feels so surreal, but it is actually achievable if you commit to it.”
Taylor is currently supporting Jimmy Barnes on his The Hell Of A Time Tour: Stories and Songs Celebrating 30 Years of Flesh and Wood tour until August 16 with the final show at the Sydney Opera House.
Troubadour will be officially launched on August 31 at Memo Music Hall in St Kilda. Details at taylorsheridan.com.au
