Shaun Diver Takes To The Stage At KC’s

Shaun Diver, a musician with almost 20 years experience, is performing at KC’s during the Airlie Beach Festival of Music and the energy he brings to Airlie Beach is unmatched.

Shaun has been performing casually for almost two decades but within the last five years, he has transitioned into a full-time musician.

His notoriety was catapulted into the next stratosphere when he won the Battle of the Bands in Springfield Lakes as a solo act.

Shaun recalls that winning the four-month competition made him realise he could pursue music full time.

Now a regular performer at KC’s, Shaun is booked up until the end of next year, and is really enjoying playing in front of crowds.

“The interaction with the crowd is my favourite,” said Shaun.

“When they're all singing along, everyone's into it, and they're yelling out songs, and I can play them - that's the best bit!

“It’s like you’re part of the party and I love it!”

At his upcoming performance at KC’s, Shaun said he will be performing Aussie pub rock classics, plus his own original songs.

He’s been performing at KC’s regularly for three years and he loves the intimate feel of this much-loved local establishment.

“Because it's a smallish venue you have to interact and if you don't want to be part of it, you wouldn't be in there, so everyone that's in there wants to be there,” Shaun added.

“KC’s is the best venue in Airlie Beach, that's what I love!”
