Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson – WRECK & RUIN TAMWORTH 2013
****LIVE & FREE CONCERT ****
Wednesday January 23rd 8pm Peel Street

Kasey and Shane would like to announce that for the Tamworth Country Music Festival 2013, they will perform a free concert in Tamworth. The concert will take place in the heart of Peel Street. This will be their only Tamworth performance and an exciting opportunity for their fans, who make the trek to Tamworth every year to celebrate with them.
“We want to thank all our fans for their ongoing support, not only for Wreck & Ruin, but for all our music over so many years. We can’t think of a better way to say ‘Thanks’ than to perform a very special LIVE & FREE concert, with the Wreck & Ruin Band, right where so many of Australia’s favourite country music stars got their first break – downtown Peel Street in Tamworth at the annual Country Music Festival. We’ll be playing all the old favourites, as well as some of the new stuff. We can’t wait to get there and see you all.”- Kasey & Shane.

Hooray!

Kasey, Talon, Arlo and I have just welcomed the newest little member to our family tribe – a beautiful baby girl.

“Poet Poppin Nicholson” was born yesterday afternoon, weighing 7 pounds 11. Both mum and bub are healthy and well. Poet is a gorgeous little bundle of baby – I am a very proud dad!

Shane and Kasey have a new album called “Wreck & Ruin” coming out in Australia on September 7 2012.

The first single “Adam & Eve” will be released on July 23.

The 2011 International Songwriting Competition finalists have been announced, and Shane has scored THREE finalist spots in the Americana category. He also gained four semi-finalist nods across the Folk/Singer-Songwriter, Americana and Country categories. The prestigious annual comp was won by Kasey Chambers last year.

Bad Machines has been nominated for Best Country Album at the 2011 ARIA Awards.

Shane will be attending the event, along with wife Kasey Chambers who is also a nominee, which unfortunately means his performance at the Queenscliff Music Festival has been cancelled.

But have no fear, there are many other opportunities to see Shane in Victoria throughout November. After a few weeks enjoying some time out with the family, Shane will head back out on the road as the special guest of K.D. Lang on selected dates of her national tour.
