Fans will be treated to the very first live performance of the new album, complete with the intimate stories behind the songs and their creation, alongside Melanie’s chart-topping hits. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate her roots, her journey, and the bold leap of laying it all on the line to chase a dream.

Performers

Melanie Dyer
Melanie Dyer lives and breathes country music. Growing up in regional Australia on her family farm in Australia’s Mount Russell, she began telling her stories through song at age twelve, when her autobiographical ‘Life on the Land’ was chosen as the anthem of the National Drought Appeal. Ever since, she’s always put her truth, her life and her whole self into her music, from the cheeky infatuation of pop-infused ‘Memphis T-Shirt’ (a multi-million streaming crossover smash) to the stunning honesty of latest single ‘Fences’, which bares the wisdom of her young heart. Melanie’s authentic blend of her farm girl roots with dynamic stagecraft and hooky contemporary songwriting chops has led to performances at the biggest country festivals around the world, from CMA Fest in Nashville to CMC Rocks in Australia and many more. Numerous trips to Nashville have seen her embraced by the Music City songwriting community, leading to collaborations on some of her most popular songs and a duet with rising US country star Troy Cartwright. Her albums Fresh (featuring a Morgan Evans co-penned title track) and Between You and Me have earned her Golden Guitar nominations and the APRA Professional Development Award. Memphis T-Shirt saw her cross over into the mainstream, played on NOVA, SCA and Grants, as well as spending 6 weeks at #1 on Australian Country Hot 50 Chart and earning her an APRA nomination for Most Performed Country Work.
