Hi Everyone,

Please join me for The Australian Country Songwriters Show this week on Tuesday 18/8/20.

With the volume of new music coming in, we’ve unfortunately had to drop a lot of our favourite songs from the show over the past few weeks. The good news is that for the following two weeks, we’ll be doing two shows per week, so if we haven’t played your songs recently, we’ll try to get them back on air over this period.

We have new (to the show) music this week from: Geoff Williams; Harry Cleverdon; Jason Mark; John Glase; Kathy Carver; Kim Sheehy & Katie Hardyman; Leaving Lennox; Mereana and Diva Wilson & Donna Hotz; Michelle Little; SAMI; Sani Bolton; Steve Cheers; and Trevor Adamson.

Our Top 10 Most Requested Songs for this week are: 1. Benny Allen, The Battle Of Point Nepean; 2. Michelle Gardiner, Show Me; 3. Lucie Tiger, Gasoline; 4. Gayle O’Neill & Andrew Swift, Drive Him Crazy; 5. Cathy Dobson, A Farmer’s Lullaby; 6. Ian Burns, Think Again; 7. The Silverline, Home Sweet Homeless; 8. Vanessa Bourne, Young At Heart; 9. Hinterland, In The Hinterland; and 10. Adventures With Alice, Sometimes More Times.

Our Featured Artist this week, Kathy Carver, has a new album out in honour of her father, Clem O’Dea, and we will be playing three songs from the album, in the second hour of the show.

Our Flashback Track from the 2017 play list for the show will be from Aly Cook; our Featured Instrumental will be from Lance Birrell; our Featured International Artist will be Canadian country singer, Craig Silver; and our Featured Indigenous Artist will be Trevor Adamson.

Our Emerging Talent segment will feature songs from; Sarah McAdams; Harry Cleverdon; and Grace Amos.
