- Beccy Cole and Sara Storer

- They are two of the biggest names in
country music and between them they have 16 Golden GuitarsGuitars
and a swag of gold and platinum awards – and for the first time,
they are about tour together.
There’s no disputing that Beccy Cole is the reigning poster girl
of Australian country music.
In January, Beccy’s latest hit single, the heartfelt and honest
“Poster Girl (Wrong Side of the World)”,
swept all before it to take out a remarkable three Golden Guitars
at country’s most prestigious awards.
The hat trick of Golden Guitars is the latest in a long string of
successes for Beccy, whose talents as a
singer, songwriter and performer have taken her to the forefront
of Australian country music
over the past year.
This dynamic, appealing singer has it all: personality, a style of
her own, enormous talent as both a
songwriter and a performer, and oceans of charisma!
Sara Storer is undoubtedly one of Australia's most unique singer /
songwriters. She defies categorization!
Since bursting onto the Australian Music scene just seven years
ago with her critically acclaimed album,
Chasing Buffalo, Sara has gone onto become one of the most awarded
artists in Australian country music
history. In 2004 she took out 7 Golden Guitars for her now
platinum selling album, Beautiful Circle. She
now has 9 Golden Guitars in her collection.
In 2005 Sara released her third album, Firefly and toured
Australia with legendary Paul Kelly.
Recently Sara has been writing for her highly anticipated 4th
album which is expected to be
released in the second half of 2007.

- Multi-award winning artists Gina
Jeffreys, Beccy Cole and Sara Storer have announced dates for what
is being hailed as the concert
tour of 2007.
“Songbirds” is the brainchild of the girls themselves.
They have been friends for some time and through the years have
also guested on each others live shows and recordings, so it
seemed to be a natural step for them put together a concept where
they could share the stage along with some of their individual
songs. Beccy, Gina and Sara are of course three of Australia’s
most acclaimed and successful country music singers. Between them
they have 24 Golden Guitar Awards along with a haul of ARIAs,
Entertainer of the Year, APRAs and certified Gold and Platinum
sales awards.
Audiences can not only expect to hear the hit songs from
three of the most beautiful individual voices on any stage, any
where, but
will also be treated to some very special “trio” performances of
songs chosen by the girls from their own album collections.
It’s now more than a decade since Gina Jeffreys won the Toyota
Star Maker Quest, marking the start of a remarkable career that’s
taken Gina to the top of the country music industry.
She has earned numerous accolades, performed to sell-out crowds
and sold volumes of records.
But the release of an exquisite new album, ‘Walks Of Life’,
heralds a new chapter in the Gina Jeffreys story. Produced by
husband Rod
McCormack, ‘Walks Of Life’ showcases a new vocal maturity on a
collection of songs that are near and dear to Gina’s heart.
There’s no disputing that Beccy Cole is the reigning poster girl
of Australian country music.

- Beccy Cole Biography
February 2007
There’s no disputing that Beccy Cole is the reigning poster girl
of Australian country music.
In January, Beccy’s latest hit single, the heartfelt and honest
“Poster Girl (Wrong Side of the World)”, swept all before it to
take out a remarkable three Golden Guitars at country’s most
prestigious awards.
The song was written after a trip to Iraq to entertain Australian
troops, as a response to an irate letter from a fan. It won Beccy
Single of the Year, Song of the Year and Female Artist of the
Year, and has captured the imagination and hearts of fans and
industry figures alike for its powerful message of compassion and
peace.
The hat trick of Golden Guitars is the latest in a long string of
successes for Beccy, whose talents as a singer, songwriter and
performer have taken her to the forefront of Australian country
music over the past year.
She now has seven Golden Guitars on her mantelpiece, together with
numerous other major awards, including 2005 Country Entertainer of
the Year. When she tours, she performs sellout shows across the
country, and she’s enjoyed a string of hit singles and earned two
Gold Albums.
Beccy’s also rapidly building a profile for her compering work at
major awards shows and for her television appearances on programs
like hit ABC show Spicks and Specks and The Wiggles’ TV show
(where she took on the persona of “Beccy Bluegrass”).
This dynamic, appealing singer has it all: personality, a style of
her own, enormous talent as both a songwriter and a performer, and
oceans of charisma — and that package is increasingly being seen
as irresistible by Australians everywhere.
Yet Beccy remains down to earth, real, vulnerable and passionate —
about life, music and her role in the industry. She’s also very
committed to helping the new generation of Australian country
artists to rise to the top.
Her latest album, Feel This Free, has been warmly welcomed by her
fans, and has already spawned several hit singles. The special
bonus edition of the album features “Poster Girl”, as well as two
live tracks recorded at last year’s Gympie Muster, “Lazy Bones”
and Beccy’s version of the Dolly Parton classic “Nine to Five”.
All four of Beccy’s albums have been critically acclaimed, and
generated a string of hit singles, as well as two Gold Albums, for
Little Victories and Wild at Heart.
Beccy’s even featured in a display at the Golden Guitar Wax Museum
in Australia’s Country Music Capital of Tamworth — the first
contemporary female star to be included in the museum.
Beccy began singing as a 14-year-old in her mum Carole Sturtzel’s
band, and in 1993 took out the Tamworth Star Maker title. That
year she was also a member of the Dead Ringer Band — in fact, she
was busking with them when they were discovered on the streets of
Tamworth.
Her Star Maker win led to the release of her debut single,
“Foolin’ Around”, for which she collected her first Golden Guitar
for Best New Talent at the 1994 Country Music Awards of Australia.
These days, Beccy Cole is regarded as one of the most outstanding
and dynamic live artists in the Australian music industry. Her
shows are so full of energy and life that they frequently rev the
audience up to fever pitch, so it’s not surprising that she’s in
huge demand to appear at festivals and events everywhere.
