COUNTRY MUSIC masters Adam Harvey and Beccy Cole are coming to Twin Towns for the Great Country Songbook Volume II Tour on Friday, June 16.
Adam and Beccy have individually and unquestionably remained at the forefront of Australian country music for almost two decades, each boasting an impressive list of awards, top selling albums and a loyal legion of fans.
The combination of the two dynamic performers has already proven to be a hit with live audiences, having toured the country on several occasions since their first encounter almost 20 years ago, they now return again with a new and unique project for their fans.
This album and tour follows the original 2013 release of The Great Country Songbook album and tour, by Adam and his good friend and multi-award-winning artist, Troy Cassar-Daley.
The album achieved platinum sales and continues to receive immense airplay and recognition. The Great Country Songbook Volume II includes special guest recordings with Troy on two tracks.
The pair have handpicked the most classic country music duets of all time for volume two of this album project.
Together they have brought back some of the most famous country combinations of all time; classic duets recorded by Johnny Cash and June Carter, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn and Kenny Rogers and his many duet partners including Dolly Parton of course.
In a befitting hat tip, audiences can look forward to ‘Jackson’, ‘Don’t Fall In Love With A Dreamer’, ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’, ‘If I Needed You’, ‘Anyone Who Isn’t Me Tonight’ and Beccy and Adam’s personal favourite ‘You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly’.
When asked about the project, Adam said he loved working with Beccy who he had toured with many times over the years.
“I know Beccy loves these classic country songs as much as I do, so for me it was a natural fit to ask Beccy to record this album,” he said.
“Now the fun starts, I get to perform these songs on tour with my good friend who I believe is the best entertainer in the business.”
Beccy said: “sharing the stage with Adam is like putting on a comfy pair of old jeans, it fits and it works.”
“We have always had the same approach to putting on a show, the audience comes first and our job is to leave them thoroughly entertained. These songs are absolute classics, to some it will be like getting transported back to a golden era of music and our take on them has added a brand new delivery.
“The album was a blast to make, the live show will be fun, funny and full of surprises – that’s always been Adam’s and my aim.”
