Biography
The Wolverines were formed in 1994 in Tamworth, New South Wales, by Darcy Leyear (guitar and vocals), John Clinton (drums and vocals) and Chris Doyle (keyboard and vocals), all born in 1994; the trio combined country roots with a rock edge and quickly gained a local following. Their first single, "65 Roses", reworked a 3/4 waltz into a 4/4 countryârock arrangement and was released to raise awareness and funds for cystic fibrosis, setting a charitable tone for the group. The Wolverines followed with a steady stream of releases: Wolverines and Roses (2002), Making Tracks (2004), Good Olâ Boys (2011), Occasional Course Language! (date unknown) and Feel the Need to Ride. The band toured extensively, performing at the Gympie Muster, the Tamworth Kids Charity Concert, and the Australian April Middle East Tour de Force in 2007 and 2008, and even played for American Marines in Okinawa, Japan. Their fundraising Sail for Kidsd tours from Sydney to the Whitsundays in 2003 and to Cairns in 2007 raised over $35,000 for cystic fibrosis research. The Wolverines received four Mo Awards and were recognized at the Country Music Awards of Australia. The group remained active until 2021, leaving a legacy of charitable work and a catalog that influenced an era of Australian country rock.
