David Campbell

   

- Says as he gets older his suits get more flamboyant.

-  Toured Australia with his 'Keep on Loving'Show in 2009.

- Loves to sing beacuse its so emotional and he likes to make people laugh.

-  Was a huge Don Lane fan and was inspired by Don Lane as a male entertainer.

- Says the less planning he does for a show sometimes the better!

-  Is such a busy guy, he says he'll sleep when he's dead!

 Evermore

   

- Evermore's single 'Underground' is written about the london Tube and the line 17 blocks away doesn't really have any meaning.  Jon Hume said it just sounded good.

-  Are modern day Robin hoods...they like to nick towels from hotels and return them to the next hotel they stay in.

-  Reckons it's great to tour with your brothers, so you can save big on phone calls to family cause they're with you all the time.

- Loved touring with Pink in 2009, but felt the pressure on stage...with Pink's crowd having big expectations.

- Has 12 Golden Guitars.

- Says he gets homesic whe he's away from Australia.

-  Didn't stop dancing once Dancing With The Stars was over.  He took his Dancing With The Stars partner, Jade Hatcher, on his 2009 tour and headlined Mud Bulls and Music in Jimna.

- Adam Brands' mum actually did tell him to go and get a real job first instead of playing his guitar just like he says in his song, 'Mama told me".

-  Filmed his hit single, 'Ready for Love' on the beach with a bunch of friends in Narrabeen, NSW.

-  Writes most of his songs from personal experiences.

-  In America is signed with Sony Music Entertainment OS and compass Brothers in Australia.

-  Just like his album, 'Hell of a Ride' suggests Adam Brand's got a laid back attitude to life.  He doesn't beep people when they don't go on green lights, drives with his car seat on an angle so far back he could almost fall asleep and doesn't mind being put on hold on the phone.  he says he just puts the call on speaker phone so he can get two things done at once.
