How are all going?

It’s been a little while since the demise of Country Thunder Australia but rest assured, I am still around and am continuing to keep an eye on what is happening in Country Music both here and abroad.

Maybe one day, we’ll find our way back but for now it’s just too expensive to operate a business with no income to support it.

It’s been nice to take a rest but I do miss the music, the artists of whom I call many friends and the country music community in general.

Wishing all a great festive season and wish everyone the very best for 2024!

People say you can be all that you want to be, dream big, reach for the sky, if you can dream it, you can achieve it.

Typical sayings for people that started with money.

For the rest of us, don’t believe the hype.

26 years of dreaming to end up with nothing to show for the hard work.

Such is life!

Today, we got a bit of sunshine and set off on a little family biking adventure. Family of four, three bikes and a baby seat for the littlin’!

All this in between calculating votes for next weeks Country Thunder Australia Top 30 chart!

Nice to be able to do something together as a family!

Hey Y'all

I ain't gonna lie.... I think this collaboration that Thunder Promotions has with Powerhouse Promotions is a fantastic way to open new doors for your career and get heard by more people.

Here are some stats that would be interesting:

The current percentage of Australians that listen to country music sits at 14%. That equates to roughly 3.6 million of the Australian population.

The current percentage of Americans that listen to country music sits at 49.9%. That equates to roughly 165 million of the American population.

Through our partnership, we are able to expose Australian independent country artists to a much broader market.

The only thing you have to do is JUMP IN!

Contact me at [email protected] for info and pricing. After that, you can onboard your tracks and info for free and we will pitch you to our partners. If they are confident in your product, we will then invoice you for the services.

There is no harm in trying so JUMP IN now!

Are you ready for new ideas? Innovation?

Are you ready for a career changer?

Thunder Promotions & Powerhouse Promotions are working together to promote Aussie independent country music artists in the Lone Star State and beyond.

Everyone talks of Nashville but Texas has an extremely strong country music culture of its own and through this new collaboration, we will be promoting our artists from Australia in Texas. What can come from that is airplay on radio in Texas as well as other states around the USA.

From there, the network opportunities, collaboration opportunities and possible touring opportunities open up and your career starts to soar!

When you’ve had a busy day with everything country music and you decide to take a break. You settle into some Michael Bublé but your 5 year old son won’t have a bar of it and insists on Poison, Motley Crüe & Bon Jovi……

51 year old me is very confused

We are trying to raise funds for Country Thunder Australia while also giving back to help the community by donating $25 from every $100 made to Lifeline.

So far through our donation drive and our Album & Single of the week promotions, we’ve sent $23.75 to Lifeline and we are hoping that we can keep donating with your help.

To donate to Country Thunder Australia, go to https://paypal.me/countrythunderau or to take on one of our radio promotions, head to our website https://countrythunderaustralia.com.au and hit the Radio Promotions banner at the top of the page!

All support is greatly appreciated and helps to keep Country Thunder Australia on air.

Here at Country Thunder Australia, I don't have advertising dollars coming in or corporate sponsorship that keeps the station going, in fact, it costs me thousands of dollars a year in which to operate.

I've tried a few things to bring in money but so far, the little that we have made doesn't even cover the costs.

In saying that, I don't wanna give up and I actually have some exciting plans for moving forward and growing the station. I get that with the cost of living, rising interest rates and the like, many people are struggling and yes, my family are in that category. We are now pinching pennies everyday and living week to week.

So I come to you to help keep Country Thunder Australia going while also helping others that are in a less fortunate position. For every $100 that we receive, we will be sending $25 to Lifeline so by helping the station, you'll be helping others as well.

I really hope that you can help. Donate today here: https://paypal.me/countrythunderau

Even cowboys get the blues!

It is unfortunate but DJ Dax & Country Thunder Australia won't be able to attend the 51st Tamworth Country Music Festival which is purely a financial decision. Hopefully, we'll be able to make it there in 2024.

In the meantime, I wish every artist attending, the very best with their performances and we will be glued to the Fanzone stage and the Toyota Park main stage performances here in Western Australia on YouTube!

Seeing that I am not able to attend, I thought that it only fitting that I purchase the Lifeline official TCMF 2023 t-shirt as proceeds are going to a great cause and guess what arrived in the mail today!
