Catherine Britt comes to Casino on Bush Pubs Tour

Catherine Britt - Bush Pubs Tour will be at Casino RSM Club on Sunday, January 30 from 3.30pm to 5.30pm,

Multi-award winning and top selling country artist, Catherine Britt, is bringing music to the bush a special show!

It’s the singer and the song that makes for truly distinctive and enduring artists. Lots of great songs and some mighty has a voice that instantly gets your attention, but unlike others, it is the craftsmanship of this unashamedly boasts a worthy story to tell that truly keeps her audience enthralled.

Catherine’s new album is entitled Home Truths. They’re the best truths – direct, personal, and from the heart. Just the way Catherine sings.

This album is also a new beginning. This is in over 20 years as a completely independent Australian artist. It’s a decision based on Catherine wanting complete control of her career – and having ownership of her own recording masters and copyrights. That’s something that – now as a parent of two young children – she believes is important – and something to pass on to them.

This independence was possibly largely due to the loyalty and passion of Catherine’s fans who have been with her on this ongoing journey of music and song. A crowd funding campaign more than exceeded expectations and was a massive statement of the belief Catherine’s fans have in her, her songs and music.

Home Truths is that it was produced by Catherine – and performed by her all dancing, all singing, super talented, and beyond versatile Australian band of smoulderingly good players. It was mixed by Ted Howard and mastered in the USA by Jim DeMain.

Also very importantly all the songs on Home Truths were written or co-written by Catherine. That’s the way it is with home truths – they need to come directly from the heart of the person doing the telling.

She has lived a life in the world of entertainment most will never experience or dream of. The archetypal Aussie girl from the coal works of Newcastle uprooted herself at 17 years old and moved for six years to Nashville TN (USA) where she gained a deep knowledge history as well as touring extensively and releasing top 40 Billboard hits.

How did this happen you may well ask. Not every 17 year old moves from Newcastle to Nashville to pursue their musical dreams. Well, the story is that a certain Elton John (yes, THAT Elton John – not to be mistaken for...) heard Catherine during one of his Australian tours in the early 2000s. So impressed with Catherine was Elton that he took her albums back to America with him and helped get a deal with RCA Records.

Catherine’s recording career commenced in 1999 when, at the age of EP followed in 2001 by her debut album release. Since then she has released six more studio albums as well as a Best Of album.
