Erica Sunshine Lee performs @ The TAMWORTH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2015
Well after 14 shows this week, I had a great time performing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, for the 3rd year at Australia's Largest Music Festival! Thanks to The Albert Hotel, The PUB, Longyard Hotel, The Frog and Toad Convention Center, The Services Club, Peel River Gardens and the Fanzone Stage. Thanks to Mitchell Shadlow for the awesome performances, guitar playing, being my taxi and best mate. Thanks to my band and to all the fans for showing up and supporting live original country music! Thank you Wendy for hosting us at the villa, to the Viper Creek Band for the guest spot at the Longyard singing our duet "YOU SAVED ME", and the hilarious and talented performer Bob Corbett for the impromptu jam at the PUB! I'm so excited to announce today WJO is releasing my first Australian single: "YOU SAVED ME!" Download now on iTunes, and request at your local Australian country music station! Here's the music video shot in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia by the amazing Matt Gill: My HIGHLIGHTS THIS YEAR @ TAMWORTH aside from performing, were seeing the ADAM ECKERSLEY BAND (winners of the Golden Guitar for Best New Band), hearing the Viper Creek Band rock out the Longyard, writing songs with the amazing Garrett Kato (Canadian, now Byron Bay singer/songwriter with the most amazing voice), the incredible Melbourne based Waz E. Band - whose accordian player was insane, and Texas Native Doug Bruce, who made me so proud to be a country singer. There are so many other bands I didn't get to see because of my rigorous schedule, but I also found the best restaurant in Tamworth, the hidden gem called "THE SQUARE MAN INN," and the food was so decadent and homemade, in addition to the coziest and most scenic ambiance. Thank you again to all the folks who came to the festival and made this week so much fun, and I will forever remember these shows and all the people who made an effort to come see and hear me play in this awesome country! Hope to be back next year! Sincerely, Sunshine :)
