THE SLIM
DUTY FAMILY REUNION SHOW
Hit the Road on the REUNION Tour
The Slim
Dusty Family, recently released their #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. (Joy will be absent at Toyota Muster 08)
'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.
