G'day Everyone,

Having a great time at the moment, just released my album 'The Road Of Life' and it's getting tonnes of airplay. Also, my single, 'The Camooweal Drover's Reunion' is on the airways too and going well. Thanks very much to all the radio presenters that are playing it. Well I've been here there and everwhere again. On the 5th of july I flew down to Adelaide,I wish i had more time to look around, but I had to get back for work. Had a great time and met some lovely people too. Thankyou to Adelaide Country Music Club for looking after me, it was great.
I caught up with Jammo, Alisha, Caitlyn, Terry and Jenny Bennets at Gatton RSL, that was fun, it was good show.
The next show was the funraiser for local Toowoomba FM station 102.7 4DDB at The Empire Theatre. I love performing at the Empire, it's such a lovely place to play in. Sadly, Bob Mcmin,one of the presenters, who started the funraiser passed away a couple of weeks later. He was a great supporter of Bush Ballads. Best Wishes o Liz and Family for their loss.
Then it was down to Tamworth for the Hats Off To Country Festival. It was good to catch up with some old mates Anita Ree, Dan Manning, Peter Pratt, Lorraine Pfitzner and the list goes on, it was great to see them all.
Next up Gympie on the 28th and 29th of August, looking forward to that. Straight after that, on the 30th is my Album Launch. It's gonna be a huge weekend that one, but I can't wait.

BIO

SHARON SMITH

Sharon who hails from Queensland was born in Pittsworth Queensland. She has resided in the Pittsworth and Oakey region most of her life.

When at school she was very sports minded, and as boxing was a sport that has been in her family for along time, she took it on.
Sharon trained with her father and brothers for most of her younger life, then at the age of fifteen she persevered and committed herself to the sport for 5 years, her reward being the first women's welterweight champion of Queensland.

While always being inspired by music, Sharon really didn't participate until she met Jeff Brown and started to play bass.
Over the period of time that Sharon and Jeff were together, she got to support many distinguished country music artists including Barry Thorton, Charlie Boyter, Keith Jamieson, Alisha Smith and many more.

It was in 2001 that she finally got the courage to have a go at singing and it was at festivals such as Tamworth and other Country Music Shows that she prepared herself as a singer.

After the 2005 Tamworth Festival she accompanied Keith Jamieson, Alisha Smith and Jeff Brown on a tour that took them through parts of NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and back to Queensland. Jeff and Sharon continued working after their return.

2006 than became the year that she would like to forget with her father and grandfather passing away, as well as her and Jeff parting company.
Looking for a lifeline to help her get her mind off things, Sharon turned to the one thing that had not been present much in 2006, that being her music. She joined the Broxburn Country Music Club and after a while the passion she had for music and singing began to glow again and she decided to strive for more in the music industry.

2007 saw her doing some work with Keith Jamieson, Alisha Smith and Teddy Thompson.
Sharon entered the Broxburn Talent Quest and got 3rd in the Bush Ballad Section and was awarded the Stan Coster Memorial Award.

It was because of a successful weekend that Sharon decided to give the Bush Balladeer Star Quest a go that is run by A.B.B.A.
2008 Sharon Smith competed in the final of the Bush Balladeer Star Quest at Tamworth Country Music Festival along with 3 other hopefuls.
Rachel Richards being the winner.
She then had another go at the Broxburn Talent Quest, this time getting 1st in the Bush Ballad Section and decided to have another go at the Star Quest.

2009 Sharon made the final four again and won the Bush Balladeer Star Quest.
