After months of impressive artist announcements and record ticket sales, Rob Potts Entertainment Edge, Chugg Entertainment and XYZ Networks are thrilled to announce the final four additions to the lineup for CMC Rocks the Hunter 2012.
They are US country music superstar, Wynonna Judd, traditional country music hitmaker, Tracy Lawrence (US), and successful ex-pats, now living in Nashville, Sherrie Austin (US) and O’Shea (US). You can see them all at the three-day festival, held at the beautiful *Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley (NSW), over the weekend of Fri 16-Sun 18 March, 2012. .
Five-time Grammy winner, Wynonna Judd (US), commands her audience with her rich and powerful voice and was described by Rolling Stone as “the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline”, After selling 20 million albums as one half of legendary duo, The Judds, Wynonna launched her solo career in 1992, with her quintuple platinum self-titled debut. This was followed by a string of hit solo albums, chart-topping singles, another 10 million album sales, and numerous awards, including ACM’s Female Vocalist of the Year. Wynonna’s unique bluesy twist on country music is why she’s such a beloved singer and artist worldwide.
Tracy Lawrence (US) has eighteen #1 singles to serve as a potent reminder that Lawrence is one of the premiere country artists of his generation. One of the leading lights of the 1990s neo-traditional country movement, the singer, songwriter and producer is known for his unmistakable voice and retaining his own pure country sound through changing trends and fashion.
One of our brightest exports, Sherrie Austin (US), headed to the US in the late 90s as a sitcom star (The Facts of Life) and released two stellar albums, before taking a break to concentrate on her songwriting full-time. It paid off, with artists like Tim McGraw and George Strait recording her songs. Now, Sherrie has recorded a new album of her own, Circus Girl, and for the first time in twelve years, is eager to come home to perform at CMC Rocks the Hunter 2012.
O’Shea (US), the popular husband-and-wife duo, rocked the Hunter this year to an enthusiastic reception and now, the ex-pats are coming back for more in 2012. Mark and Jay O’Shea were both born and raised in Oz, but set off to Nashville in 2007, to pursue their dream of a country music career. A successful run on the US TV series, Can You Duet, kick-started their career together and led to their dynamic debut album, Mr. and Mrs.
