COUNTRY music singer Beccy Cole is getting ready to hit the road again and will tour in the region next month.
Cole will play at the Laurieton United Services Club on Saturday, June 8, in what will be her second performance on tour.
Having just turned 40, Cole is celebrating 20 years since bursting onto the national country music scene with “Beccy’s Big Hits”.
Fourteen of Beccy Cole’s most popular tracks make up this mother of all mix tapes and is described by Beccy as “a country music version of a box of Cadbury favourites”.
From the heartfelt Australian hit ‘Poster Girl’, the award-winning duet with Kasey Chambers about a lifelong friendship, ‘Millionaires’, to the side-splitting live version of Beccy’s divorce song, ‘Lazy Bones,’ this album is sure to delight Beccy fans old and new.
In double decades, the sassy country queen has shelved nine Golden Guitars, three Gold Records, two Entertainer of The Year awards, seven songwriting awards and peaked at number one on the country music radio charts a whopping 14 times.
Beccy has dedicated her life to touring her own country with an occasional break for entertaining Aussie troops in danger zones worldwide. Beccy Cole is the real deal, a working single mother, a successful career woman, an explosive and very funny live performer and is as honest in the lyrics of her songs as she is about her private life.
This honesty lead to Beccy’s recent revelation on a ratings winning episode of ABC Television’s ‘Australian Story’ that she is gay … after ‘keeping it under her hat’ for 15 years. Beccy received an unprecedented and overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from fans, old and new. This has led to the beaming and infectious smile that Beccy’s 20,000+ social media subscribers have enjoyed passing comment on of late.
This tour will have a special fun element with the addition of Beccy’s “Search For A Shiny Star” competition. Beccy is offering the opportunity in most towns on the tour, for one lucky person to perform a song on stage during her set. Applicants are invited to post a video of them performing a song (any song) on Beccy’s Facebook fan page. Beccy and her team will select a winner in each specified town, and votes/likes on Facebook are taken into consideration. This is a great opportunity to show Beccy’s fans your stuff and possibly kickstart a career in music.
Tickets are $30 adult and $15 child at Laurieton. Contact the club at www.laurietonclub.com.au or call 6559 9100.
