Carl Fidler
Carl's musical sojourn began at age 14 as a cabaret singer supporting some of Australia's finest crooners; Maria Vanuti, John St Peters, Joe Perone, Simon Galagher, Normie Rowe. At 17, Carl moved to Canberra to study Opera at the Australian National University and began a lifelong affair with Pop Music!
In 2001, Carl formed The Dead Abigails, a 5-piece Pop Rock band, and his most
successful project to date. Unearthed by Triple J in 2003, the Abigails signed to Shock
Publishing and released the Code EP. They received regular airplay on Triple J, Rage and
Noise TV (SBS), and much later on McLeods Daughters, Young Lyons and Big Brother.
The Abigails were named Oz Music Ambassadors, toured the UK and supported many
great Australian bands including, Grinspoon, Kisschasy, Thirsty Merc, Diesel, The
Whitlams and INXS. Their second release was to be their last, The Dead Abigails DVD/CD.
As well as playing regular solo support slots for touring acts such as Keith Urban, Tim
Rogers, Dave Graney, Ian Moss, and Tim Freedman, Carl founded Mayfield, a 7-piece
Soul/Dance act that combined his love of Curtis Mayfield with progressive dance styles.
In 2010, Carl returned to Sydney where he held a residency at the Observer Hotel, The
Rocks for 5 years. He also fronted 2 soul reviews: Johnny G and E Types, a Memphis Soul
Review and Barrio Soul, a tribute to the Latin soul scene of New York in the 60’s.
Just wanted to let you guys know that we LOVED Carl Fidler!
He was fantastic! Easy to work with and had a fantastic voice.
Would be happy to have him again for future events.
Carl was very good. He met all song demands thrown at him and really helped to make my 40th a great evening!
I also found the whole experience of dealing with you and Champion Music in general a positive and friendly one.
Thanks again, I will definitely keep Champion Music in mind for future events and celebrations.
Carl was fantastic! We have had so many positive comments from customers. We will most definitely be booking him again for our next event. Thanks so much!
