Entertainemt includes:
Mick Lindsay
At 23 years of age, Mick Lindsay is astounding audiences nationwide with an untimely professional maturity. Lindsay's musicianship is second to none, and his refreshing brand of "Country-fried rock" is fast being recognised as his signature style.
A self-taught guitarist, Mick hit the music scene in 2003 with all the momentum of a freight train.
Lindsay first came to light in "The Telstra Road to Tamworth". This was a fantastic springboard.
He was a grand finalist in 2005, which allowed him to showcase some finely honed vocal chops, and `rhythm and lead' guitar skills that would leave "Johnny B. Good," hanging his head in shame. The Road to Tamworth, lead to regular appearances on CMC that quickly put him on the map.
Having been handpicked as one of 21 artists from throughout Australia & New Zealand to attend the CMAA, (College of Country Music,) saw this hell bent country rocker emerge with a series of original songs under his belt. Mick says he has been humbled at the support of his audiences for his original work saying, they have been received enthusiastically.

Kylie Hogan
Few artists come along that are country music to the bone. Her earliest influences in music were diverse, listening to all the popular artists, until she heard the voice of an angel, Patsy Cline.
Kylie’s whole life changed while listening to the soundtrack of “Sweet Dreams” This new awakening to country music then opened her world to Randy Travis, Garth Brooks and Dwight Yoakam.
Teaching herself to play guitar, and already writing lyrics, Kylie penned her first song “Country Kind of Girl” that was later recorded by Samantha Dann on Troy Dann’s Outback Advenrures Soundtrack.
This song also won her a place in the finals of a QLD Television show where Kylie came second overall in a pool of about 60 contestants. Kylie then went on to win many talent searches in QLD and NSW before embarking on her first album release “Someone on Your Mind” The first single, the title track, gained Kylie enormous exposure overseas and a place in the John Laws Seach for a Star finals.
The second single “Carmelita” made the World Wide Most Played Artist in the World Charts and shot up the English Country Music charts to peak at number 2. The third release from this Album, “Out Getting Over You” won her the prestigious Best Recorded Song award at the QLD TSA Songwriter Awards.
Kylie’s new album “Love and Lust” is as it is titled. With songs like “Four Letter Word” and “Breaking in a Brand New Boyfriend” and “Will You Miss me When Your’re Sober”, it is already promising to bring to Australian Country music listeners something fresh, unique and quirky. “ Love and Lust” features co-writes with Jason Kemp, and previously unrecorded songs by the ledgendary Nashville writer Pam Wolf. Also featured is an earthy version of the Neil Young classic “Comes a Time” that is beautifully sung as a duet with Dave Ritter.
Kylie has gone all out with the production of her new album, using all A –list Nashville pickers and strummers, combined with the production talents of Aussie ex-pat Michael Flanders.
The first single from Love and Lust has already hit the airwaves with “Dangerous Man” reaching No 18 on the Country Music Channel Charts and still climbing the Hot Country charts and currently sitting pretty at number 11.
