In a distinguished career spanning over 25 years, Daryl Braithwaite is undoubtedly one of Australia’s premier entertainers. Respected and admired by his fans and peers alike he has forged a career to be proud of.
Daryl found fame as lead singer of Sherbet – a band synonymous with the 70’s and their accomplishments during their long career were many. Between 1971 – 1978 Sherbet produced 20 national Top 40 singles and were the first Australian band to top the $1 million dollar mark in album sales in this country, with a total of 15 albums and 30 singles to their credit, with songs like ‘Summer Love’ becoming the highest selling single of 1975 and ‘Howzat’ not only a hit in Australia, but also in England and America.
Following the release of Sherbet’s last studio album in 1979 Daryl spent a short time in America where he recorded a moderately successful solo album titled ‘Out On The Fringe’. Then in 1980 under the new name of Sherbs, the band released a further three albums in an attempt to appeal to a more mature audience. However, despite their change in direction they were still thought of as Sherbet and in 1983 following an extremely successful farewell tour, the members each went their separate ways. Many years later Sherbet were inducted into the prestigious Aria ‘Hall Of Fame’ and were also one of the artists featured in the ‘Australian Rock n’ Roll’ series of postage stamps.
Daryl continues to be in great demand as a live performer and has appeared at a number of engagements, both corporate and public most of which have been in the ever popular acoustic mode, featuring Dale Kruse on piano and guitarist David Campbell.
