Golden Guitar Winner Releases New Song as a tribute\u000fto the resilience of bushfire hit communities
To coincide with a special disaster relief event, Golden Guitar winner Tom Curtain has released a new song \u00a0 You Know You Will paying tribute to the resilience, grit and determination of the regional Victorian communities devastated by the January bushfires.\u00a0\u000f\u000fMr Curtain has taken his award winning\u00a0 Katherine Outback Experience to Mansfield, where 100% of ticket sales are going back to the community to help in their recovery.\u000f\u000f\u201cWhen I visited a local school some forty families were directly affected by the fires. Many of these families didn\u2019t take initial help as their view was others were worse off,\u201d Mr Curtain said.\u000f\u000f\u201cThe school observed the quality of lunchboxes and uniforms diminishing following the lasting psychological impact of the fires. The school has engaged FoodBank to support the families, a grant to ensure students have access to uniforms and a psychologist to support students and families.\u201d\u000f\u000f\u201cThe song You Know You Will speaks to moments when things feel like they\u2019re falling apart, as well as the inner resolve and resilience that it takes to keep going. The track captures the spirit of people who dig deep, stand their ground and push forward when walking away would be easier,\u201d he said.\u000f\u000f\u201cIn our travels we meet people going through tough times following fires, droughts and floods. We hear their stories and draw inspiration from them and their strength to keep pushing through.\u201d Mr Curtain said.\u000f\u000fWhile Tom is helping Victorian communities, his own home town in the Northern Territory has experienced a disaster of its own. Katherine and the Big Rivers Region recently experienced major flooding, reinforcing the message at the heart of the song, that communities are strongest when they stand together.\u000f\u000fCurrently on the road for his\u00a0 Here\u2019s To You tour, Tom brings his unique blend of live music, horse training and working dog demonstrations to communities across Australia. After touring Queensland and New South Wales since October, the show will continue through Victoria before finishing up in South Australia in April.
