Bittersweet Tour New dates added in 2015…an ARIA Award and 6 Golden Guitar Nominations!
Since announcing that on doctor’s advice Kasey Chambers’ Bittersweet Tour dates originally scheduled for this year were being postponed until early 2015, comes the good news that additional shows have now been added in Geelong, Melbourne and Newcastle.
Kasey has today also been nominated for 6 Country Music Awards of Australia, making Kasey the most nominated artist (alongside Luke O’Shea) for the January 2015 Awards. Kasey is nominated for:
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR
VOCAL COLLABORATION OF THE YEAR – Bittersweet with Bernard Fanning
APRA SONG OF THE YEAR – Bittersweet
VIDEO CLIP OF THE YEAR – Bittersweet
SINGLE OF THE YEAR – Bittersweet
The ‘Bittersweet Tour’ is Chambers’ first since the release of her tenth studio album of the same name, which debuted at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart, and earned Kasey an ARIA Award Best Country Album and a nomination for Best Female Artist.
Kasey will showcase songs from ‘Bittersweet’ on the tour like the new title track single, a beautiful duet with Powderfinger’s Bernard Fanning – alongside long time favourites and hits from her award winning albums.
Joining Kasey on the road is label mate Harry Hookey.
Harry Hookey has also just been nominated at this year’s ARIA Awards for Best Blues & Roots Album for his debut release ‘Misdiagnosed’ and won the International Songwriters Competition for Independent Songwriter of the Year for the title track. Hookey has spent the year gigging the country from end to end, also supporting Busby Marou nationally and has recently supporting US Americana singer Ryan Bingham (who coincidentally supported Kasey in 2009).
