After the success of the Islands in the<\/i> Stream 2013 tour dates, award-winning country artist Amber Lawrence and label-mate, X-Factor 2012 runner-up, Jason Owen are extending the tour through to 2014. With most of the shows selling out and their duet single \u2013 of the same name \u2013 climbing up the charts, the two talented performers have already started adding 2014 dates to the tour. The tour, which kicked off in June 2013 and was to initially finish at the end of November, is now being extended into April 2014 and beyond.<\/p>\n
Amber and Jason\u2019s youthful interpretation of the Islands in the Stream<\/i> by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton is the perfect inspiration behind their joint national tour.\u00a0 It also marked the release of Jason\u2019s debut album Life Is A Highway<\/i> which debuted at #5 on the ARIA Album chart and #1 on the i-Tunes Country Chart first week out.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s both their love of country music and the audiences that have brought them together while both coming from different \u201cislands in the stream\u201d.\u00a0 Amber hails from Sydney and Jason grew up in small town of 12 called Albert in regional NSW. This two-hour show will feature Jason and Amber performing with their touring band, their own hits and songs as well as special duets throughout the show.<\/p>\n
Amber is known as one of the hardest working artists in the industry and it has certainly been paying off with 13 single releases all of which have been Top 5 radio favourites including seven #1\u2019s.\u00a0 She has more than 10 awards to her name including the Tamworth Telstra Horizon Award<\/i> at the 2011 Golden Guitars and was nominated in the Female Artist of the Year<\/i> category at this year\u2019s Golden Guitars.\u00a0 Amber will perform some of her fan favourites such as Wrecking Ball<\/i>, Good Girls<\/i>, Don\u2019t Do Lonely Well<\/i>, Women Like Me<\/i> and from her latest album \u201c3\u201d<\/i>, Everybody\u2019s A Mess<\/i>, Man Across the Street<\/i> and Try<\/i>.\u00a0 Throughout the tour Amber will continue to promote her 3rd<\/sup> album which saw her fourth single Pretty Little Liar<\/i> released in August.<\/p>\n At 19 years of age, Life Is A Highway<\/i> marks the start of a new journey for Jason, who has moved from his small country town to Sydney and is now ready to embrace a full-time career as a recording and performing artist.\u00a0 Life Is A Highway<\/i> features songs such as Always On My Mind<\/i>, Against The Wind<\/i>, If Tomorrow Never Comes<\/i>, and Sweet Home Alabama<\/i> to name a few.\u00a0 The album\u2019s collection of songs – which are eclectic in genre – are all connected by the beauty of Jason\u2019s unique voice, and fans will now be able to experience it live.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ISLANDS IN THE STREAM<\/i><\/b> 2014 DATES<\/b><\/p>\n \n Thursday 2nd<\/sup> January 2014<\/p>\n CEX Coffs Harbour NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.cex.com.au<\/a> | 02 6652 3888<\/p>\n \n Friday 3rd<\/sup> January 2014<\/p>\n Ballina RSL NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.ballinarsl.com.au<\/a> | 02 6686 2544<\/p>\n \n Thursday 23rd<\/sup> January 2014<\/p>\n West Tamworth Leagues Club, TAMWORTH NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.wtlc.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n \n Friday 21st<\/sup> February 2014<\/p>\n Muswellbrook RSL, MUSWELLBROOK NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.muswellbrookrsl.com.au<\/a> | (02) 6543 1700<\/p>\n \n Saturday 22nd<\/sup> February 2014<\/p>\n Katoomba RSL, KATOOMBA NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.katoombarsl.com.au<\/a> | 1300 438 849<\/p>\n \n Friday 21st<\/sup> March 2014<\/p>\n Club Sapphire, MERIMBULA NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.clubsapphire.com.au<\/a> | (02) 6495 1306<\/p>\n \n Saturday 22nd<\/sup> March 2014<\/p>\n St Georges Basin Country Club, ST GEORGES BASIN NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.basincountryclub.com.au<\/a> | (02) 4443 0666<\/p>\n \n Friday 4th<\/sup> April 2014<\/p>\n Hahndorf Old Mill SA<\/b><\/p>\n www.hahndorfoldmill.com<\/a>\u00a0 | 08 8388 7888<\/p>\n \n Saturday 5th<\/sup> April 2014<\/p>\n Vine Inn Barossa SA<\/b><\/p>\n www.vineinn.com.au<\/a> | 08 8562 2133<\/p>\n \n Friday 11th<\/sup> April 2014<\/p>\n Inverell RSL, INVERELL NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.inverellrsl.com.au<\/a> | (02) 6722 3966<\/p>\n \n Saturday 12th<\/sup> April 2014<\/p>\n Warwick RSL, WARWICK QLD<\/b><\/p>\n www.warwickrsl.com.au<\/a> | (07) 4661 1229<\/p>\n \n Friday 4th<\/sup> May 2014<\/p>\n Gunnedah Services & Bowling Club, GUNNEDAH NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.gunnedahservicesclub.com.au<\/a> | (02) 6742 0400<\/p>\n \n Saturday 5th<\/sup> May 2014<\/p>\n Armidale Ex-Services, ARMIDALE NSW<\/b><\/p>\n www.armidaleservices.com.au<\/a> | (02) 6776 0800<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the success of the Islands in the Stream 2013 tour dates, award-winning country artist Amber Lawrence and label-mate, X-Factor 2012 runner-up, Jason Owen are extending the tour through to 2014.
