Ian Burns has proven his talents and popularity in the Australian country music scene this month, taking home two awards at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.<\/p>\n
The Macarthur singer-songwriter won the Tamworth Songwriters Association Local Heroes Song of the Year for Think Again, co-written with Mary V I Harrison and David Carter.<\/p>\n
Ian then added to his Tamworth accolades, winning Best Male Vocal in the 2021 Australian People’s Choice Awards.<\/p>\n
“I am overjoyed and really honoured,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Thanks. Particularly, to my wife, Susie, for all her support throughout the years, and to everyone who had faith in me and voted. Thank you to my co-writers of Think Again, Mary VI Harrison and David Carter.”<\/p>\n
This is not the first time he has won an award from the Tamworth Songwriters Association, previously winning the TSA National Songwriting Contest for Alt\/Blues\/Bluegrass.<\/p>\n
The Local Heroes category in the TSAs was previously an ANZAC section to mark the centenary of World War I, but now honours all heroes in our community.<\/p>\n
“Think Again struck a chord with people because it’s a song about never giving up no matter how much is going against you,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It is about the fighting spirit of Australians meaning that we will get through adversity and come out bigger and stronger than ever.”<\/p>\n
Ian plans to build on this award-winning success with more releases to come in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
