Singer-songwriter, CATHERINE BRITT, has announced her brand new album BONESHAKER will be released Friday May 1st through the prestigious label LOST HIGHWAY AUSTRALIA (Universal Music). Since launching, Lost Highway has signed locally Shane Nicholson, Ruby Boots, Mustered Courageand internationally some of the biggest roots and country artists including Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, the late Johnny Cash and many others.
Anyone who has heard Catherine’s latest single, “Good To Bad”, will know the track marries a dark alt-country atmosphere to a confronting lyric about a desperate young farmer driven to drug-cropping to save his farm. It’s a bold departure for Catherine who recorded her fifth studio album BONESHAKER with Ryan Hadlock ( Strokes, Foo Fighters, Lumineers and Vance Joy) in Seattle and sends the first message that this is her most courageous recording ever made.
The alt-country artist will support her forthcoming release with BONESHAKER TOUR including a must see one show performance at the 2015 Tamworth Country Music Festival.
While Hadlock may have had a big influence on the sound of BONESHAKER what still remains is the same honest, earthy song writing that has won Britt a host of awards and accolades in the past.
Catherine Britt commenced her career in 1999 at the age of 14 and since then has been awardedCMAA Female of the year (2009, 2013), CMAA Single of the Year (2012), CMC Artist of the yearand APRA and ARIA Award nominations. In 2010, Catherine was presented with the CMA Global Artist of the Year award and still to this day remains the youngest Australian to have ever performed at the prestigious Grand Old Opry in Nashville.
Without question Catherine’s unique voice instantly gets your attention. An annual event at theTamworth Country Music Festival, Catherine will be returning to The Pub to perform new music from BONESHAKER as well her biggest hits like “Ramblin Girl”, “Can’t Change a Thing” and “Sweet Emmylou”. Expect to see a star studded stage with musical friends joining the multi-award winning singer-songwriter on stage.
