“There were so many incredible acts on the lineup this year, so myself and the band are pretty chuffed. We wanted to bring something special this year, so the band and I had been rehearsing a brand new live show for over a month leading up to the festival. I’m just over the moon that it was so well received by everyone that attended our three shows. We pride ourselves on trying to put on high energy and a fun live show, so winning this award is pretty special!”

This exciting new initiative was open to the huge crowd of over 73,000 people who came from all of Australia to attend Groundwater last weekend and gave fans the chance to get involved and vote for their favourite artist online.

By voting, fans were also put in the running to win the ultimate holiday for two onboard P&O Cruises inaugural Country Music Festival at Sea which sets sail from Brisbane in December 2019. The lineup for P&O’s first country cruise has just been announced and features Casey Barnes, James Blundell and Caitlyn Shadbolt.
