He has starred in shows such as Out and About вЂ“ The Great Aussie Pub Tour, All Saints, and he is currently a presenter on Sydney Weekender for Network 7. He won the prestigious Toyota Star Maker Quest in 1996 and received a Golden Guitar at the Country Music Awards in 2001.Д¬oggan has also been in a handful of musicals such as Happy Days the Arena Mega Musical in 1999, Grease the Mega Musical in 2001, and Quambatook in 2008. вЂњEvery generation has the ability to change their world, and I pray that we have the courage to face up to the realities of our time and let ourselves feel deeply enough so that it transforms us and our childrenвЂ™s future,вЂќ Coggan said.Д¬oggan has been performing professionally since 1995 after winning the inaugural Trans-Tasman Entertainer of The Year on Norfolk Island. вЂњAt the height of his career in the late 70s, he was very discontent with the excesses of fame and fortune, and he did something about it, he put down his guitar and walked away. вЂњPerhaps the greatest thing I took home from my meeting with Stevens was the realisation that we all have the ability to make changes in our lives, should we not be content with who we are or where we are. He believes there is more than just the music to inspire about Stevens, it is his story and his outlook on life. вЂњOur audiences obviously come expecting to hear those timeless songs of Cat Stevens, but I think they walk away with so much more, a real insight and understanding of who he was and his eternal spiritual search for fulfillment,вЂќ Coggan said. вЂњThis new production also highlights how relevant CatвЂ™s timeless songs and messages of peace, tolerance, and understanding are in our world today, perhaps even more relevant than when they were first written back in the 70s. вЂњThere are some personal reflections on the experience I had being invited to London to meet with the great Cat Stevens in 2007, where I heard first-hand some of the many anecdotes and stories that I have enjoyed sharing with вЂњThe performance is very intimate and personal and the inclusion on this tour of a stringed quartet will bring another beautiful dimension to these already exquisite songs. When creating the show, Coggan said he felt a weight of responsibility to do justice to StevensвЂ™ music and his story. вЂњI love seeing the reaction from the audience each night and seeing them all stand up with an ovation, something IвЂ™ll never take for granted,вЂќ Coggan said. вЂњI love how I can continue to find new interpretations of his lyrics. вЂњI do love this show and never tire of performing the songs.

вЂњThe songs say something, ask questions, make statements, they have intelligence, poetic lyrics and musically, while simplistic in presentation, they are very complex and always fun and challenging to perform. вЂњI was inspired by his story and his incredible catalogue of timeless songs and felt that it would also inspire others. вЂњHe inspired generations, and his music still has as much impact today as it did when he first penned songs such as Peace Train, Moonshadow, Wild World, Morning Has Broken, Where Do The Children Play and Father and Son,вЂќ Coggan said.ДЇor Coggan, paying homage to Stevens is a privilege. He has carved an impressive career in the Australian country music industry with a swag of Golden Guitars under his belt.Д¬oggan said that there was something ethereal about the music of Stevens. The tribute show was initially slated for a tour earlier this year but was postponed due to the COVID outbreak and has been rescheduled for March 19.Д¬oggan has been described as a masterful storyteller who is considered one of AustraliaвЂ™s most exciting and diverse artists. A homage to Cat Stevens, called Remember The Days of Cat Stevens starring Darren Coggan is coming to the Art House in March 2022.
