NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!

G'day everyone,

Happy new year.. its hard to believe its come so quick..2008 started off well for me when I headed down to Tamworth on the 3rd of January to attend the 2008 CMAA College of Country Music, thanks to the Australian Bush Balladeers Association and their College scholarship. I spent a jam packed two weeks learning lots of things including song writing, performance and several other subjects. I even had a crack at song writing, which ended up turning out pretty well as I teamed up with a lovely young lady (Meg Carswell) from Cootamundra and together we wrote a song which I performed at the Graduation Concert, which was very exciting.
I’d like to thank the Bush Balladeers Association for the amazing opportunity to attend the CMAA College of Country Music this year, it was a great experience and a wonderful opportunity to meet and spend time with the other talented graduates.

It was great to hear that Rachel Richards won the 2008 Bush Balladeers Star Quest. I wish Rachel all the best for this year and I’m sure Rachel will be a fantastic ambassador for the Balladeers.
ALBUM RELEASE!
During my time in Tamworth I was lucky enough to launch my new album “Waiting for the Rain”, which was produced by Waddo at Kross Kut Records. I’m really happy with how the album turned out and was extremely proud to launch my album with Rachel Richards at the Red Cross Hall. It was a great night, thanks to everyone who came and helped make the night so wonderful. I was also privileged to be asked by Lorraine Pfitzner to sing one of the songs off my album, at the Salute to Rick and Thel Carey night. It was a great night and it was a real thrill to be able to sing “Cousin Ratsack” which was written by Keith Jamieson in front of Rick Carey.

Well, that’s about it from me for the time being, I look forward to catching up with you all around the traps. Till then, take care.

Julie Perandes.
