TORONTO,
CANADA - February 10, 2003 - Songwriting partners and performers
Greg Quill and Kerryn Tolhurst, founding members
of seminal Australian country rock bands Country Radio
and The Dingoes, and award-winning writers of such enduring
songs as "Gypsy Queen", "Way Out West" and "Wintersong",
are reuniting after 30 years to perform again in their homeland.
A mini-tour of Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania (March
7 - April 8) will support their CD - to be released March I
- titled so rudely interrupted, a collection of
original new songs completed in New York City and Toronto.
The music bears all the trademarks of their unique past collaborations:
ringing guitars, brilliant flourishes of dobro, lap steel, mandolin,
banjo and tiple, and powerful vocals.
"The songs started coming together after a jam session in Melbourne
a couple of years ago," says Greg, an arts journalist with the
Toronto
Star. "The music seemed to catch fire the minute we
picked up our guitars. We'd forgotten how much we have in common,
and how powerful musical bonds can be."
The CD was produced by Kerryn, who has been living in New York
City for the past 20 years. He is a noted producer in both America
and Australia, as well as a chart-topping songwriter, and a
sought-after session musician.
The title, so rudely interrupted, refers to their
divergent paths in life, and to the bizarre and sometimes frightening
events that more than once impeded the album's progress.
Tracks were written and recorded in a variety of locations -
studios, living rooms, cottage verandas, in New York, Toronto
and Melbourne, in Greg's home in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada,
and in the Broome, W.A., home of the dynamic Australian country
rock outfit The Pigram Brothers, who make a special contribution
to so rudely interrupted.
"We wanted to make these songs as real as they could be," says
Kerryn. "There are no tricks on this record, no computer gimmicks.
It's very personal music to us, very much our own."
Key venues in Australia include The Port Fairy Folk Festival,
The Brunswick Music Festival, The Big House, The Mordialloc
Festival, Tilley's in Canberra, The Republic in Hobart,
The Milton Theatre, The Northern Star in Newcastle, and
The Old Manly Boathouse and The Basement in Sydney.
