KEITH AND KASEY HEADLINE NU COUNTRY TV
Expatriate
Australasian country superstar Keith Urban and country rock queen Kasey
Chambers headline a star-studded episode of Nu Country TV on Saturday
November 29.
Urban, 36, performs latest smash U.S #1 hit 'Who Wouldn't Wanna Be
Me' from huge selling fourth album 'Golden Road.'
 |
The
hotshot award winning singer, guitarist and songwriter returned to
the U.S. after a major tour of Australia with fellow star LeAnn Rimes. Urban has long won widespread airplay in the U.S. and suffered sound problems at some Australian concerts but triumphed with a sizzling stage show. Although Keith was again snubbed by metropolitan mainstream corporate radio chains he leaped the moat on major regional commercial stations after a decade of airplay on ABC and community radio. Urban's record company Warner Music have rewarded Nu Country TV viewers and web page visitors by giving us a batch of his album Golden Road. Keith Urban |

KASEY CHAMBERS BREAKTHROUGH HIT
| South
Australian born star Kasey Chambers has followed Urban to the U.S.
on regular tours to promote her two acclaimed solo albums that have
won her a large international following. But the singer, living on the NSW Central Coast with her partner and baby son, won't be moving to the U.S. Kasey, just 28, is making the most of the sporadic commercial airplay that followed her huge hit 'Not Pretty Enough.' |
 |
We feature
her breakthrough song 'Cry Like A Baby' - the song featured on
community and ABC radio - after she scored embryonic airplay with the
'Dead Ringer Band.'
Kasey proves she has long been Australian country music's greatest chance
to break the genre on the closed shop of commercial radio.

an historic October 2002 interview with KASEY.
FRED EAGLESMITH INTERVIEW
Kasey's touring partner - Canadian troubadour Fred Eaglesmith - also performs
live on Nu Country TV after an interview at the Ibis Hotel in Melbourne.
 |
Eaglesmith,
making his third Australian tour, talks about his colourful career
that takes him far afield from the repossessed Ontario farm where
he was reared with eight siblings. |
THE
T-BONES SIZZLE
Sunraysia reared country band The T-Bones are the epitome of rural rooted
country with a hard urban edge.
The band, which hails from Robinvale, followed in the slipstream of punchy
predecessors 'Saltbush' and the 'Dead Livers' by writing about life in
the Aussie country fast lane.
They launch their sixth album 'Seventeen' (a compilation) on Friday December
5 at the Ding Dong Lounge in Market Lane in the Melbourne CBD.
They have also started recording their new studio album but this week
they perform their original tune 'She Starts' from fifth album 'Smartest
Kid In Town.'
The song, one of many car classics from the pens of singer Andrew Pupillo
and guitarists Charlie Wilde and James Stewart, is a crowd pleaser.

T-Bones from the DIARY.

MONICA
WEIGHTMAN DEBUT
 |
Melbourne
guitarist and singer-songwriter Monica Weightman suffered heart palpitations
when she was centre and front for Keith Urban's Melbourne concert. Not from an arrow fired from stage by Urban but by the kick of his drummer who zeroed in on Monica's vantage point near the stage. Monica performs the title track of her popular indie album 'Calm Before The Storm' - a radio staple in the Nu Country FM era. Further Info visit http://www.tarahall.com.au/monicaweightman/ |
