For years, Bradley McCaw searched for the sound that truly defined him—one that honored the legends he studied while bringing something fresh to today’s music scene. That journey led him straight to the timeless melodies and smooth grooves of Yacht Rock, where the spirit of Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, and Kenny Loggins meets a modern, piano-driven energy.

Dubbed “Brisbane’s own Billy Joel” (Courier Mail), Bradley’s path was anything but ordinary. He first made his mark as a classically trained singer and actor, touring globally with the award-winning Ten Tenors and premiering original musical theatre productions (Becoming Bill, The Oasis, Any Moment). But behind the scenes, he was chasing a different dream—one that brought him back to the piano, the kind of melodies that make you roll the windows down, and a sound that feels both nostalgic and new.

Bradley honed his craft on stages around the world, selling out New York’s 42nd Street, headlining luxury cruise lines, and supporting Australian-Canadian music icon Wendy Matthews. But it was in the studio that he found his true calling. His 2023 debut album, Worried Minds (Old Fashioned Records), co-produced by legendary guitarist Louie Shelton (Lionel Richie, The Jacksons, John Lennon), captured the essence of classic '70s and '80s songwriting, with a fresh twist that resonated with today’s audiences. The album featured an all-star lineup, including Nathan East (Eric Clapton, Daft Punk) and jazz icon James Morrison, and was recorded at world-renowned studios like Capitol Studios (USA) and Studios 301 (AUS).

His breakout single Someone Like You (featuring Paulini) cracked the iTunes Top 10, earning national airplay and racking up over 3 million Facebook views. But it was I Want You Back that cemented his place in the Yacht Rock revival, landing on Spotify’s Yacht Rock Revival playlist—where it’s remained since its release.

As he prepares to release his second album, Last Stop Till California, Bradley McCaw is proving that the smooth, feel-good sound of Yacht Rock isn’t just making a comeback—it’s evolving. With his signature piano-driven storytelling and a voice that feels like an old friend, he’s leading the charge in a new era of classic-meets-country cool.

For fans of timeless songwriting, breezy melodies, and that perfect mix of nostalgia and new energy, Bradley McCaw is an artist to watch.
