Popular Australian pop country crossover artist Jade Holland is heading to her hometown Mareeba Queensland for the first time in ten years.
Jade is performing at Savannah in The Round Festival 6-8 October amidst a stellar lineup of her peers which include Aussie Icons & International Luminaries Jimmy Barnes, Kasey Chambers, Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris and Kate Ceberano to name a few.
Holland had already written and recorded a new song aptly titled ‘Home Town’ before Savannah In The Round reached out for a theme song for the festival. The lyric sees her recalling both happy and tragic memories of her youth growing up in the far north Queensland hinterland. Catchy and nostalgic ‘Home Town’ is a song we can all relate to when thinking about home.
“I grew up on a beautiful five-acre property in the bush. I have often channelled my formative years when writing songs. Mareeba was an is a magical place.
We thought we were the coolest kids on the block hanging out at centre parking in the Main Street. We would sit there for hours planning our lives”
