Kasey Chambers leads Golden Guitar nominations
KASEY Chambers leads this year's Golden Guitar nominations with her 12th studio album Campfire.
Inspired by the travels of her childhood and recorded with The Fireside Disciples - her dad Bill, guitarist Brandon Dodd and long-time family friend Alan Pigram (of The Pigram Brothers) - the wonderfully raw collaboration has earned the singer seven nominations in the 2019 Golden Guitar Awards.
This year's nominees across 15 categories were announced in Sydney today at an event hosted by Adam Brand and Amber Lawrence.
"Holy Moly!!! I can't believe we just got 7 Golden Guitar nominations for the Campfire album," Chambers posted on Instagram.
Four of those nods are for the album's lead single The Campfire Song, which features Pigram speaking in his native Yawuru language.
It's shaping up to be a big couple of months for Chambers, who will become the youngest woman inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame next week.
She's followed in the nominations tally by The Wolfe Brothers, who received five nods, and Grafton natives Adam Eckersley and Brooke McClymont.
The husband and wife duo scored four nominations for their first official collaboration Adam & Brooke, with the hit song Train Wreck up for Song of the Year and Single of the Year.
Queensland favourite Judah Kelly, the 2017 winner of The Voice, is also up for New Talent of the Year after releasing his country debut Real Good Time.
The 2019 Toyota Golden Guitar Awards will be held in Tamworth on Saturday, January 26.
