Tamworth’s Powerhouse Hotel has officially unveiled a new room in honour of Troy Cassar-Daley, marking a special tribute to one of Australian country music’s most influential artists. The unveiling adds another meaningful landmark to Tamworth’s deep country music history and offers fans a new way to connect with an artist who has shaped the genre for decades.
Cassar-Daley’s connection to Tamworth runs deep. From his early years performing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival to becoming one of the most awarded artists in Australian country music history, his career is closely tied to the town that helped launch him.
Joining the ranks alongside the late great Slim Dusty and Lee Kernaghan, who also both have rooms named after them at the Powerhouse Hotel, honouring Cassar-Daley now with his own room feels fitting for an artist whose music is woven into the fabric of the festival.
Across a career spanning more than 30 years, Cassar-Daley has built a reputation for honest storytelling, emotional songwriting and songs that reflect everyday Australian life. With countless Golden Guitar Awards, chart-topping albums and a catalogue that continues to resonate with fans across generations, his impact is immeasurable.
For festival-goers and visitors alike, it’s another reminder of how closely Tamworth’s venues and artists are connected, and how the town continues to honour those who have helped shape its story.
As the Tamworth Country Music Festival continues to evolve, tributes like this highlight the importance of preserving its history while welcoming new generations of fans. For Cassar-Daley, the unveiling isn’t just a symbol of recognition, but it highlights his legacy, connection and a career that has left an undeniable mark on Australian country music.
