Kasey Chambers will top the bill at the 2009 ‘a day on the green’ concert on October 31.
The outdoor music festival at Robert Oatley Vineyards attracts huge crowds of locals and visitors every year, as well as some of Australia’s most noteworthy rock acts, including Jimmy Barnes, the Hoodoo Gurus, and the Black Sorrows.
Chambers will be joined on stage by husband Shane Nicholson, with whom she recently topped the ARIA charts and collected ARIA, APRA and Golden Guitar awards for their new album ‘Rattlin’ Bones.’
The concert lineup continues with prolific songwriter James Reyne, powerful rocker Ian Moss, the sublime Wendy Matthews and the sensational and colorful Mental As Anything.
Concert tickets go on sale at Ticketmaster and the Mudgee Bookcase from Monday July 6.
Mental As Anything
Mental As Anything is currently celebrating their 30th anniversary with a fab double CD collection called “Essential As Anything”. It features 24 of the band’s classic pop hits and is a timely reminder of the iconic place they hold in Aussie music history. On stage Martin Plaza, Greedy Smith and the boys offer up irrepressible good fun with hits like ‘Too Many Times’ and ‘If You Leave Me Can I Come Too?’. What a sensational way to kick off this year’s event.
Kasey Chambers
Kasey and husband Shane Nicholson continue to enjoy great success from their collaborative album ‘Rattlin’ Bones.’ The album reached #1 on the ARIA Charts, has achieved platinum status, taken out ARIA, APRA and Golden Guitar awards and has been lauded as arguably the finest record of Kasey’s stellar career – and that’s saying something! With more than one million albums sold, Kasey’s heartfelt music has made her one of our most-loved and acclaimed female artists.
James Reyne
With his unique vocal style and prolific songwriting, James Reyne has earned his stripes as one of our home-grown greats. With one of the most distinctive voices in Aussie music, James’s songs from Australian Crawl through Company Of Strangers to his platinum-lined solo records have resonated with audiences everywhere. Expect a massive Mudgee sing-a-long as James rolls out some Aussie classics.
Ian Moss
There are few performers in the country that can rock a house like Ian ‘Mossy’ Moss. Drawing from the still-incredible Cold Chisel songs that left an indelible mark on Australian music history, plus tracks from his solo career, Mossy’s sweet soaring voice and incredible guitar playing combine to produce a magical concert. Most recently Mossy has been in New York recording a new album set for release later this year titled ‘Soul On West 53rd’, which sees him covering some of his favourite soul and blues classics. Get set for an unforgettable show from this master musician.
Wendy Matthews
The sublime voice and on-stage charm of Wendy Matthews will be a perfect way to enjoy the late afternoon. With a massive 19 singles, 7 top selling multi-platinum albums and 7 ARIA awards, Wendy moves between jazz, blues, pop and soul with a simple yet moving grace. Her current album “She” is a personal collection of favourite songs by woman who have inspired her from Bonnie Raitt to Joni Mitchell and Chrissie Hynde.
