Davidson Brothers & Kristy Cox ready to tour South
Australia...
- 18th June 2007
After a great response to their first performance in South
Australia, Queen's Birthday weekend at Barmera, the Davidson
Brothers are looking forward to touring with Kristy Cox through
her home state this July.
Following success of Hamish & Lachlan's latest album, Raised On
The Road, which was recorded in Nashville the boys think it's
about time they tackle new territory and in what better way than
to do a double header show with Mount Barker singing sensation,
Kristy Cox.
"We've had a lot of bluegrass & country fans from SA contacting us
asking when we're coming over" says Hamish.
The first show is at the famous Governor Hindmarsh in Adelaide.
Kristy mentioned "This is my first tour, I'm very excited to
perform in my home state and catch up with of old school friends
and family along the way".
After the Adelaide show they will then head up to the small town
of Wilmington before headin further north to Leigh Creek and
finishing up in Port Pirie.
This year the Davidson Brothers new album has seen them win 2
TIARA awards at Tamworth, including Independant Album of the Year,
A Golden Guitar nomination, they were awarded Best Bluegrass &
Traditional Country recording at the Victorian & National Country
Music Awards as well as the first single, Raised On The Road
charting on the CMR Australian country radio charts along with the
video clip reaching #15 on CMC.
Another exciting point is that the Davidson Brothers did a
collaboration with South Australian born, Travis List on their
album which was also made top 5 in the VIC awards.
Kristy Cox is a 22 year old bombshell from Mount Barker, SA. Since
winning a Nescafe Big Break in 2002 she has been a 2 time finalist
in TOYOTA STARMAKER in Tamworth, Graduated from Country Music
College and most recently she has released her debut album, "From
My Eyes". Kristy's had a great reaction to her first two radio
singles gaining national airplay along with her debut video clip
to be released to CMC at the end of June. The album was nominated
for Victorian Album of the Year February this year.

The Davidson Brothers brand new album is
out now!
(Release date: Monday the 4th September)
Hamish and Lachlan Davidson have been hard at work over the last
few months, writing and recording their brand new album titled
"Raised on the Road" and consists of mainly original material. The
album is made up of primarily bluegrass along with contemporary
Acoustic, country and swing.
They flew to the USA in July to record with producer Mark
Thornton, who plays guitar in Jerry Reed's band, at Sidekick
Studios, Nashville TN. It had always been a dream of theirs to
record with some of the favourite musicans, having listened to
their work on literally hundreds of albums. Lachlan says, "It was
a huge thrill when the musicians all came in on the Thursday to do
the Band tracks. It was amazing to play live with some of our
heros!"
Hamish Davidson - Banjo, Fiddle, Vocals

Bryan Sutton - Guitar (Dixie Chicks, Ricky Skaggs)
Randy Kohrs - Dobro, Harmony Vocals (Dolly Parton Band, Dierks
Bentley)

Cash)
Raised on the Road really showcases the Brothers development in
their writing with songs, Where I Wanna Be, and Walkin 'Round
Blind. The boys really show off thier expertise with the
instrumental Skrub Turkey which had the musicians sweating in the
studio, and Randy said, "Man, I only have to play that fast twice
a year!" They reveal a more sensitive side on Lonely's Rules and
indulged in a bit of swing on Mojo. Hamish also let's go of some
steam on It's A Banjo. The fast paced, Don't turn me Down, was
co-written with Brooke McClymont. The boys Collaborated with a
friend of theirs from South Australia, Travis List on the classic
bluegrass song, Don't Give Your Heart To A Rambler.

THE DAVIDSON BROTHERS
The Davidson Brothers have been on the music circuit for around
seven years, and between them have lots of experience and a
slew of awards. Most recently, they became the “2003 Country
Entertainer of the Year” at the Tamworth Country Music Festival,
where they feature annually. The pair have performed with a
number of Australia’s top rating country artists (Lee Kernaghan,
Beccy Cole, Adam Harvey & Greg Champion), yet bluegrass will
always remain in their blood.
Hamish (20) and Lachlan (19) have assembled a group of
dedicated and motivated musicians to make up their band, with
influences spanning from Bluegrass, Old Timey, Cajun, Blues,
Western Swing and Rock. Laurie Grundy has been a strong
influence on the boys. He taught Hamish the banjo six years ago
and ignited the bluegrass flame in the Davidson household.
Although Laurie is a renowned banjo player, he is equally at
home on the bass, his first instrument. Laurie’s son Josh has
been turning heads with his mandolin playing over the last four
years, and allows his rock influences shine through his playing.
The Davidson Brothers have finished recording their new album,
"STAY ALL NIGHT," and are set to release it in October 2003.
Expect to hear some fresh bluegrass, western swing and blues.
