Courtney Keil – Just Like Flying

COURTNEY KEIL SHARES NEW SINGLE ‘JUST LIKE FLYING’: A HEARTFELT TRIBUTE TO HER GRANDFATHER’S TRIUMPH

Australian country songbird, Courtney Keil, is thrilled to announce the release of her latest single, ‘Just Like Flying’. The deeply personal track pays tribute to Courtney’s late grandfather, Glen Keil, and his remarkable achievement in the Barossa Valley’s 1951 Jubilee year Vintage Festival.

‘Just Like Flying’ captures the essence of true Australian spirit and history, inspired by a memorable foot race won by Courtney’s grandfather. Picture the Barossa Valley in 1951 – the 50th anniversary of the Federation of Australia, a Jubilee year. “The Tanunda Showgrounds oval held ‘Jubilee’ track and field events, attracting athletes from all around the country,” shared Courtney’s grandfather, days before his passing in 2020. “I was 20 years old and not a professional runner, but because I was quick on the footy field, my teammates coaxed me to enter the race.”

The young underdog etched his name in history that day, taking home the trophy. However, it wasn’t Courtney who first envisaged the story in song. “My dad originally came up with the idea of the song,” she admits. Naturally they wrote it together, alongside long-time collaborator and producer, Rod McCormack.

The track was crafted over two days at The Music Cellar, with meticulous attention to detail and a nod to the traditional sounds of country music. “I loved once again working with Rod. He worked his magic incorporating all my favourite classic country sounds that I love so much!”

Following her successful duet with Gina Jeffreys – which reached #5 on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart and was featured on Apple Music’s ‘Aussie Country’ and ‘Country Risers’ playlists – Courtney continues to captivate audiences with her unique blend of storytelling and musicality.

The silk-toned singer has won back-to-back awards for ‘Best Female Vocal’ at the 2023 & 2024 Australian Country Music People’s Choice Awards, highlighting her growing influence in the country music scene. While on the festival circuit she recently captivated crowds at the iconic Gympie Music Muster .

Having played support to legendary acts like The Whitlams Black Stump and Brian Cadd, Courtney is set to take centre stage for a headline show at Gosford RSL. On September 20th she promises an unforgettable performance on NSW’s Central Coast, where she now calls home.

‘Just Like Flying’ is a testament to Courtney’s evolving artistry and personal connection to her music. It’s more than just a song; it’s a homage to a cherished memory and a testament to the enduring legacy of Glen Keil.

Over their 12-year career The Wolfe Brothers have released 6 studio albums, been awarded 9 Golden Guitars and have amassed in excess of 20 million streams. The new single, “Beer In A Bar” , was written by Nick Wolfe and Max Jackson and was co-produced by Nick and Rod McCormack.

Nick said this about the single: “No good story ever started with a salad but many start with a beer in a bar. Tom and I are absolutely wrapped to be collaborating with Kaylee on this song. It’s been so good to watch her success over the last few years. While it may seem ‘overnight’ to many Kaylee has always been one of the hardest workers, best writers and solid performers on the scene for the last decade! We’ve written together in the past and talked about doing a song together many times. It feels right that Beer In A Bar is the one we’re finally joining forces on!”

Tom adds about Kaylee Bell, “We are so excited to have Kaylee joining us on this track. She is one of the most talented artists out there and not to mention one of the hardest workers. It’s also really cool that our great mate Max Jackson, who is also the Special Guest on our current tour, helped write this track. She is a super talent.”

Kaylee mentions, “I’ve been friends with the Wolfies for over ten years now and have always loved what they do and respected how hard they work. So, it was a no brainer to want to be on a song with them. They asked me about the collab in Tamworth backstage at a gig when we were all letting our hair down a little and I wasn’t sure they’d remembered asking me when I saw them the next day, so it was a bit of a laugh to find out it was a real thing and they sent me the song and I instantly loved the catchiness of the chorus and how I felt like I already knew it after one listen. So, I’m stoked to have a song with the guys and can’t wait to hear people singing this one back to us at shows.”

The groom and his guys all done up too, the single guys doing their moves, plus the Harleys or wagons and themed up decorations and flowers. Lordy, the whole shebang.”

Blues, rock, pop and country are Rhodos favourite musical places He records with musos sharing the passion to play real instruments and sing in real time. The outstanding guitar solo is by Harry Alexiadis – a brilliant young guitarist and Sydney Uni Conservatorium graduate.

Hayley Jensen – Outskirts

Acclaimed country-pop star, Hayley Jensen, is ready set the airwaves ablaze with “Outskirts”. An upbeat, heartfelt, feel-good track about country living, out now via MGM Distribution.

“Outskirts” reflects on lasting memories made growing up in the country. Capturing the essence of carefree Friday nights cruising down red dirt roads with good mates & cherishing the tight-knit community in a small town.

“Outskirts” follows the release Jensen’s smash, “Stomping Ground”, which was added to Spotify’s iconic Fresh Country playlist for over 4 months, amassing over 600k streams across digital platforms. It also garnered extensive radio play across Australia’s major country networks and the music video soared in CMT Australia’s Official Top 30.

Jensen once again enlisted award-winning duo MSquared (behind “Stomping Ground” and the hits of Casey Barnes, Kaylee Bell, Taylor Moss and more), as well as Canadian hit maker Reluctant Cowboy Records (behind her ARIA #1 Country album “Breakin’ Hearts”) on the production of “Outskirts”, co-written with acclaimed Canadian songwriter Joni Delaurier, it’s a celebration of Jensen’s rural roots:

“‘Outskirts’ is about my life growing up on the outskirts of town,” Jensen explains. “My family & I lived on a 30-acre property about 40km from Canberra. Life was different for us compared to kids that grew up in the city…but I loved it and it made me who I am today, so I thought it was about time I wrote a song about it!

I was a mad horsey girl and rode every day. We had chooks, goats, horses (of course), and countless rescue animals. Weekends were spent fixing fences, chopping & stacking wood, riding in the forest, learning to drive in the paddocks & down old dirt roads, keeping the grass down so snakes didn’t come into the house… I caught the country kids’ bus to school and if you missed it, you were in big trouble!

She adds, “And there’s nothing like a party in the country! You can turn the music up as loud as you want, sing along at the top of your lungs, and no one can hear you. Some of my best memories are of inviting mates to camp over, lighting huge bonfires and partying into the night – no one complains. It’s the best! It’s hard work and good times making memories with the people you love. That’s life growing up in the country – on the ‘Outskirts’ of town – and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!”

Jensen’s illustrious career includes being a two-time CMAA Golden Guitar finalist for ‘Female Artist of the Year’ in 2022 and 2023, and receiving the ICMA ‘Most Popular Female Artist’ Award in 2024. She first gained national recognition as a Top 4 finalist on the second season of ‘Australian Idol’ and later wowed audiences on ‘The Voice,’ where she was praised by coach Kylie Minogue as ‘the whole package.’

A dynamic, powerhouse live performer, Jensen has headlined major festivals across Australia and internationally. Her notable performances include headlining the main stage at Tamworth Country Music Festival, as well as her own live shows, and international festivals such as the Calgary Stampede and Dauphins CountryFest in Canada, and Buckle & Boots Festival in the UK.

Hayley has just signed with Wheelhouse Agency and will be hitting the road to celebrate the release of “Outskirts” with a national headline tour (dates below). “I’m so pumped for these shows! There’s nothing better than live music. The connection you make with fans when you’re out on the road and the excitement of performing your songs for a revved-up audience shouting all the words back to you is like nothing else!”

With its upbeat energy, catchy and relatable lyrics about country living in Australia, “Outskirts” is set to become a new favorite at country radio and in country party playlists – get ready to experience life on the ‘Outskirts’!

When crafting the blazing guitar solos and stadium-worthy drums on ‘Bonfire’, Bryce relied on the veteran ears of producer, Rod McCormack. “He is so good at being able to transform my work tapes and vision into something amazing.” That vision carries through in the captivating music video shot by Eyes and Ears Creative – despite the challenges posed by the weather during filming. “It was in the middle of winter, and it was freezing but we needed to capture the essence of fire and warmth. It was a lot of blankets off camera, but Jeremy and the Eyes and Ears team did a great job,” laughs Bryce.

The country dynamo has supported The Wolfe Brothers, The Whitlams Black Stump and Melanie Dyer, with dates lined up alongside INXS founder, Andrew Farriss, in October.

Ashleigh Dallas – Setting Suns

Ashleigh Dallas Lights Up The Horizon With Her New Album ‘Setting Suns’, Released September 13 th 2024.

Five time Country Music Award Of Australia (Golden Guitar) winning artist, Ashleigh Dallas, is proud to unveil her sixth studio album, ‘Setting Suns.’

The new record, crafted with the expert touch of Country Music Award Of Australia (Golden Guitar) winning producer Brett Dallas, marks a pivotal moment in Ashleigh’s musical journey. The collaboration between father and daughter working on Dallas’ sixth studio album showcases their love and resilience, as outside forces created barriers that they had to overcome.

‘Setting Suns’ is a testament to Ashleigh’s evolution as a songwriter, as each track explores profound themes of family, love, unpredictability, and grief. The album also highlights the strength in Ashleigh’s own musicianship, with her playing an array of instruments including banjo and fiddle alongside fellow musicians Brett Dallas, Lindsay Dallas and Michel Rose.

Dallas has been consistently building strong foundations over her fifteen years of recording, however the strength and growth in her latest offering highlight her ability to translate personal experiences into universal connections.

Production by Brett Dallas, whose renowned craftsmanship has shaped some of Ashleigh’s previous award-winning works, sees Ashleigh’s vision come to life with a sound that is both fresh and deeply resonant.

The album reflects Ashleigh’s journey towards embracing her own legacy, celebrating the strength she’s gained, and the distinctive path she has carved in country music. We also see Dallas honour her songwriting, digging lyrics from her most inner self.

“This album is the beginning of a new chapter for me,” Ashleigh Dallas shares.

“Setting Suns is an album we leapt into at full speed, forced to then slow down to a barely moving roll, as we faced what life was throwing our way head on. Trying to look on the bright side, I’ve embraced further self-discovery and acceptance that I will continue to share with the hope of building a stronger authentic connection with my audience, and my industry.”

“On this record, you can hear where I’ve been, and excitedly, where I’m going. I believe you can literally hear the love of our little family unit, which continues to strengthen as we come together. It’s been overwhelming, sometimes confronting, but each step filled with pure heart.”
