Lee Kernaghan … his Double Platinum-selling album ‘The Outback Club’ was released in 1992<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 10, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tickets have gone on sale for country legend Lee Kernaghan’s one-night performance in Kingaroy in October.<\/p>\n

The original “boy from the bush” – who has won 36 Golden Guitars awards – will be performing at the Kingaroy Town Hall on Sunday, October 29.<\/p>\n

The gig is part of Lee’s “Boys From The Bush” 25th Anniversary Tour.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe that it’s 25 years since “The Outback Club”, and its anthem opening track, were released.<\/p>\n

The single “Boys From The Bush” hit number one on the Australian Country Singles Chart on July 4, 1992.<\/p>\n

The album won the 1993 Aria award for “Best Country Album”, and sales soared to Double Platinum status.<\/p>\n

Lee has been a frequent visitor to Kingaroy over the years, and the South Burnett has always rewarded him by packing out the Town Hall.<\/p>\n

He will be accompanied this time at the all-ages gig by Tasmanian country rock band, The Wolfe Brothers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The band consists of two brothers, Nick and Tom Wolfe, and their best mate, guitarist Brodie Rainbird.<\/p>\n

They all grew up together on the same road in a rural area just outside Hobart.<\/p>\n

The Wolfe Brothers were nominated for four Golden Guitar Awards at the 2014 Australian Country Music Awards in Tamworth.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the band was presented with the trophy for CMC\u2019s New Artist Of The Year and in 2016 were finalists in three categories at CMC Music Awards: Group Of The Year, Australian Video Of The Year and Oz Artist Of The Year. They took home the CMC Group Of The Year Award.<\/p>\n
