Best known for his stint fronting the popular Australian rock band Powderfinger, singer/songwriter Bernard Fanning was born August 15, 1969, in Brisbane. He joined Powderfinger at the behest of St. Joseph's College economic science schoolmate Ian Haug, world Health Organization co-founded the radical in 1989. Originally slated as a guitarist, Fanning was soon awarded lead vocalizer duties, charting the group's phylogenesis from covers to original substantial. After a copulate of autonomous EPs, Powderfinger (so named in honor of the classical Rust Never Sleeps track by Neil Young, a originative influence) signed to Polydor in 1994 and issued their debut LP, Parables for Wooden Ears. With the 1996 follow-up, Bivalent Allergic, the set went double-platinum at menage, afterwards notching a series of Australian chart-topping LPs including 1998's Internationalist, 2000's Odyssey Number Five, and 2003's Vulture Street. Also in 2003, Fanning made his characteristic film debut in Ned Kelly, conducive a solo carrying out to the picture soundtrack. Despite success in the U.K. and Europe, Powderfinger remained practical unknowns in the U.S. market, and in 2005 the band went on hiatus. In October of that year, Fanning issued his debut solo elbow grease, Tea & Sympathy, scoring hits with the singles "Care You Well" and "Songster."
