Australia was introduced to Lane Pittman (www.facebook.com/LanePittmanMusic) back in April 2022, when the then 16-year-old school student from Tamworth, with the glorious mullet haircut and his amazing voice, wowed audiences with his cover of Luke Combs' “Even Though I'm Leaving” as his audition for The Voice Australia.

Lane bulldozed through the last couple of years and now he rocketed into 2024 with the release of his self-titled EP. His latest single, the heart-warming track I played a minute ago entitled "Man I’m Turning Out To Be", which follows the breakout success last year of his sensational song, "Amen For The Weekend", which earned him national TV appearances, top streaming spots, and his first Golden Guitar.

Since supporting Luke Combs on his sold out Australian arena tour in 2023, Lane has been on a roll with no signs of slowing down. Selling out his headline show at last year's Tamworth Country Music Festival, being nominated for the New Talent of the Year Golden Guitar award and with his appearance at the iconic CMC Rocks, the excitement surrounding of his EP's release couldn't have been higher.

I first spoke on the phone with Lane last year and I was delighted to have another chat with Lane on the phone this afternoon. I think it's pretty clear that this young bloke has got success written all over him. I think I can safely predict that he has a huge career ahead of him so I'll be keeping a keen eye on his progress.

I first interviewed Brisbane based singer/songwriter Will Day (www.facebook.com/willdaymusicofficial) on the phone back in December of 2019 and several times since then, and I was sincerely delighted to have the opportunity of catching up with him again this arvo on The Country Club.

Will has become a highly celebrated artist in Australia’s Country music scene and he's performed at iconic festivals such as the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Savannah in the Round, Gympie Music Muster, Deni Ute Muster, Texas Country Music Festival in QLD, and Winton’s Way Out West Fest.

His electrifying new single, "Red Dirt Church", follows a string of standout singles over the past few years including the chart-topping “Countrified”, the emotional “Dear Dad”, and crowd favourites “Always A Girl,” “The Way We Are,” “Find Myself A Dirt Road”, and the high-energy Country Rock anthem, “My Kinda Crowd”, all of which remain firm favourites in the Country Club playlist

Will’s passion for Country music is undoubtedly strong. Constantly releasing heartfelt ballads, along with supercharged foot stomping rockers, has ensured he has continued to build his prominence as one of Australia’s premier Country music artists, a reputation that has undoubtedly been further cemented with his latest awesome single.

With a genuine gift for storytelling, combined with compelling vocals and the ability to connect with a crowd, Will has become one of this country’s foremost artists and he will undoubtedly be at the cutting edge of Country music for a long time to come.

Heath Milner (https://www.facebook.com/HeathMilner1) is a singer/songwriter from Mackay in North Queensland who is back in the spotlight with his brand-new single, "Rollin'", which I’m sure is destined to be another huge hit for him. Of course, I wasted no time in adding it to The Country Club playlist so I can give it some regular airplay.

Coming into the industry at the age of 17, Heath made the bold decision to put himself out there and auditioned for The Voice Australia. During his audition, he was presented with an amazing opportunity by Boy George, who was so impressed with the young bloke that he provided him with an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville and facilitated some great songwriting sessions with the likes of Ruston Kelly and Jeff Cohen. The roll-on effect of this was Heath being a 2018 Toyota Star Maker grand finalist.

After stepping away from the industry for a few years, Heath’s return has been met with open arms and helped cement his place in Australian Country music, so now he’s ready, willing and able to showcase exactly who he is as an artist.

I had a great interview this arvo on the Country Club with rising Country music artist and former chef, Kane Vincent (www.facebook.com/kanevincentmusic), who grew tired of the smoky grills, long hours, family drama, relationships, and life in general, and took the advice of a Jason Isbell song to “find what makes you happy and do it till you’re gone”, so he picked up his old Maton guitar and got stuck into it.

Born and raised in Echuca, Kane spent his formative teen years in Urbana USA, picking up a love for guitar and a slight Midwest twang at the same time

Over the last five years he’s lugged that guitar in and out of pubs, parties and festivals all over Australia but he no longer sings in the kitchen. Kane's loveable spirit, impressive song writing and his engaging vocals continue to win him fans right across this great land of ours as he makes an impressive name for himself as a Country music artist.

Keenly observant, Kane finds lyrical inspiration in both the mundane and extraordinary everyday stories of life that give his songs a sensibility with more than just a hint of Country and a familiar nod to the Blues. His latest single release, entitled "Know Me Now", that I played a minute ago, is a perfect example of Kane's exemplary songwriting prowess and the style of Country music he produces. it's certainly nothing shabby, that's for sure!

I had the distinct honor of once again chatting on the phone with Tom Wolfe on today's edition of the Country Club. He is, of course, one half of that legendary Country music duo, The Wolfe Brothers (www.facebook.com/thewolfebrothers). It's been a minute or two since I last spoke on the phone with either of the "Wolfies", so it was great to catch up with one of these seriously talented blokes this afternoon.

I was delighted to be able to chat on the phone yesterday afternoon with Tamworth-based singer-songwriter Owen Smith, who has been making waves with his tongue-in-cheek new single, "Upper Class Bogan", on which he collaborated with Golden Guitar winner Matt Scullion, and is a cheeky track that blends Owen’s wit and down-to-earth take on Aussie culture.

Born and raised in regional Australia, Owen is a prolific singer/songwriter with a love for the bush and a passion for crafting distinctively Australian experiences into songs. His style is playful and driving, ranging from classic bush ballads right through to punchy Rockabilly. He aspires to the soulful tones of Phil Emmanuel and Ian Moss with his roots in the Country sounds of Slim Dusty and Adam Brand.

Owen is a graduate of the Country Music Association of Australia's Academy and he was nominated for the Capital Country Music Association's New Songwriter of the Year and the Australian Songwriters Association Australian Song of the Year in 2023.

Described as having “perfected the sound of true Aussie Country” by The Northern Daily Leader, Owen has been honing his art through live performance, even reaching the Grand Finals of the Australian National Busking Competition.

I was delighted to have another chat by phone this afternoon on The Country Club with Jake Whittaker (www.facebook.com/JakeWhittakerMusic), a rising Brisbane-based Country musician, who has a passion for live performance and songwriting. I previously spoke with Jake on the phone back in September of 2023 so I figured it was high time to do it again, given that it's been a minute since our last live-to-air conversation

Jake's unique sound blends Country influences with contemporary flair. His debut single, Round Here, caught the attention of radio and music industry personnel alike and consequently enjoyed airplay on KIX Country, ABC Country, 94One Today’s Country and across community radio in Australia, including right here on Plenty Valley FM's Country Club! It was also playlisted by Apple Music and received some international airplay as well. His latest single, "In My Blood", the fantastic tune I played a minute ago, is certain to follow in the highly successful footsteps of his previous releases and is clearly set to ensure Jake's continued success and steady rise in popularity.

I was delighted to have a chat on the phone this afternoon with award-winning Queensland-based singer/songwriter Brendon Walmsley (www.facebook.com/brendonwalmsley), who is recognised as one of Australian Country music’s finest singer-songwriters. He's a recipient of numerous awards including Star Maker and 3 x Golden Guitars. His songs are not just catchy tunes, they are perceptive stories of the joys and struggles of life; the importance of love and family; and the strength that comes through faith.

Brendon featured prominently on the Australian Country music landscape throughout the early 2000’s, touring with acts such as Troy Cassar-Daley, Beccy Cole, Adam Harvey, Adam Brand, Tania Kernaghan and Melinda Schneider (gee, what a line-up!). He released three critically and commercially acclaimed albums before dedicating his focus to his family and leading the music and production teams at his local church in Toowoomba.

Despite the break from regular recording and touring, Brendon continued to showcase that rare ability to draw an audience into the world of his songs at various festivals, community events and concerts. He’s also ventured into musical theatre having performed in a number of productions over the past decade, including his own production, based on his hit song “Rose & Rodeo”.

Last year saw Brendon make a long-awaited return to the studio, where he recorded an inspirational new collection of his delicately crafted songs for his recently released fourth studio album, the remarkable "Road to Riverleigh", from which comes his latest single "God Loves Country Music" that I played immediately prior to bringing him on air.

I was genuinely delighted to once again be able to chat on the phone this afternoon with the legendary Sydney based songstress, Melinda Schneider (www.facebook.com/MelindaSchneider).

For those of you who don't know, and there can't be more than a tiny handful, Melinda is an extremely talented Australian music icon, a multi-award winning singer-songwriter, an extraordinary live performer, a spellbinding storyteller, the CEO and founder of Mpower Records, a sought after key note speaker and a female empowerment activist.

In a career that began with a debut at the age of three, when she appeared on stage with her mother, Mary, Melinda has kept her family tradition alive by becoming one of Australia’s most sublime singers and popular entertainers. But it is through her assured and accomplished songwriting that she has really discovered her true voice, with John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Paul Kelly all having recorded her songs

Melinda's latest single, "25 Hours", that I played just a minute ago, was released back in May and, not surprisingly, has been going gangbusters all over Australia, and is yet another great example of her extraordinary talent as a vocalist and a highly skilled song writer.

But Melinda's talent isn't just musical. She’s a highly regarded fashion designer and she once competed on "Dancing With The Stars", plus she’s delivered many key-note speeches to empowered women across the country. She’s also a gifted actress who made her acting debut at the age of 13 in in the very popular TV series, "A Country Practice".

I was genuinely delighted to be able to have a chat today on The Country Club with award winning singer-songwriter Ian Burns (www.facebook.com/ian.burns.14), from the Macarthur district of NSW, who began his recording career in 2014 and has so far recorded 4 excellent studio albums.

His latest album, “California”, was released in December of 2021, after he won the Best Album of the Year trophy for his previous album, "Two Sides Of Me", at the 2020 Australian Country Music People's Choice Awards. He then promptly followed that up with a well-deserved win for Best Male Vocal at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January of 2021, along with a Songwriters Association Award for the best song in the Local Hero's section with his great song, “Think Again”. Ian's most recent single, the sensational track, "Just One Minute", was released back in March and it's bound to be another huge success for this truly gifted song writer.
