MELINDA SCHNEIDER TAKES HER ‘STRONGER’ TOUR TO QUEENSLAND
Melinda Schneider is back with an incredible new album – ‘Stronger’, and heading out on a much anticipated National Tour. Two years on from her hugely successful ‘Family Tree’ album, this stellar country performer is eager to present her latest offering in a stunning show which will take the audience on a journey from the deepest most heart-felt ballads, to the lighthearted and often infectiously joyous songs she is so well known for.
“After spending twelve months writing and recording it is incredibly exciting, to be taking my new songs out to a live audience and sharing them in concert – along with all my old favs, of course! That’s what it’s really all about for me”.
Since taking out Female Vocalist Of The Year at the CMAA Golden Guitar Awards in 2003, Melinda has gone from strength to strength, being awarded a total of four Golden Guitar Awards - including Album Of The Year for her third album ‘Family Tree’ and APRA Song Of The Year for her No.1 hit single ‘Real People’ in 2005.
The new album ‘Stronger’ was recorded in Nashville in May this year, and Melinda was thrilled to also be invited to make her debut appearance at the iconic Grand Ole Opry. “As a songwriter and singer Melinda Schneider is one of this country’s truly important artists” Glenn A. Baker
Joining Melinda for the ‘Stronger’ Tour, will be 2006 Golden Guitar-winning super group The Flood. Their award-winning single ‘Hello Blue Sky’ topped the charts earlier this year, and their third album ‘The Late Late Show’ has been receiving rave reviews.
The ‘Stronger’ Tour concerts will surely be a night to remember. If you were going to see just one show this year, this would have to be it!
