 Sydney, AU. (Top40 Charts/ EMI MUSIC Australia) - The Slim Dusty Family, recently released their No 1 charting 'Reunion' album to much public and media acclaim, and now the three generations are continuing a family tradition by hitting the road and heading out on tour. It was announced that the first leg of the family tour will get underway on July 3rd. These concerts will not only be a first, but very likely the one and only opportunity for the country music fans to see all the various generations of the Slim Dusty family performing live together on stage. Family matriarch and driving force behind the 'Reunion' project, Joy McKean confirmed this week that the line-up for the upcoming Reunion shows will include Slim and Joy's son and daughter David and Anne Kirkpatrick, as well as their children Kate and James Arneman together with Hannah and Daniel Kirkpatrick. Joy is thrilled to also confirm that Slim's long time record producer and tour Musical Director Rod Coe has managed to get Slim's legendary Travelling Country Band (TCB) back together especially for this historic tour. 'We are very proud of the new album. Of course, we were all hopeful that Slim's many fans would accept and embrace the new songs, but we were truly overwhelmed by the support shown to our family on the release of the album. We are so excited about the fans' response and now all of us are just looking forward to getting out on the road to perform the Reunion album material live and singing quite a few of the old Slim Dusty classics as well,' said Anne Kirkpatrick.
The Slim Dusty Family are pleased to also announce the tour will be presented by the Country Music Channel.
Tickets will go on sale on Monday 14th April at the venue box offices.
