Kicking off at the Tamworth Country Music Festival with her only festival show, Catherine Britt is bringing music back to the bush & the outback with a special one off concert!
Since travelling around Australia in a caravan for over 3 years, Catherine has felt that the music doesn’t seem to reach the bush as much as it should. She has been doing odd gigs along the way in outback bush pubs and has found that the community is so in need of music and entertainment that they come out in droves thanks to the bush telegraph!
“A bush pub is where the community and their families come together and spend quality time” Catherine said. “It’s a meeting place, a watering hole and a shared home for people in the bush”. Catherine wants to go back to the old school ways and bring the music back to the bush – like Slim Dusty did back in the day! “We are very excited and proud to have Jayco Newcastle on board as a sponsor again who will be providing our means of travel around this beautiful country in a Jayco Caravan!”
Whilst her credentials to date are enough for most, Britt’s drive to better herself and continue to improve, as an artist is what has led her to continue on as one of Australia’s most successful Singer/Songwriters and businesswomen after more than 20 years.
To this end, her first acoustic release CMC SONGS & STORIES EP is out Friday 18th October through Lost Highway Australia/Universal Music. While the EP is currently available for pre-order, the songs and videos for ‘Swinging Door’ and ‘Hillbilly Pickin’ Ramblin’ Girl’ have already been released with ‘What I Did Last Night’ coming Thursday 26th September ahead of the EP release.
