Ben Ransom

Nominated for

Song of the Year – St Patrick’s Day

 

Biography

Ben Ransom… Powerful vocals, Infectious melodies…Incredible live performer!

Ben has travelled and performed all over the world including a two and a half year stint in Europe with a style that is a blend of pub rock, blues and country. He has performed alongside of Australia’s top recording artists while touring extensively around the country.
Born and raised in Sydney, Ben Ransom, started playing guitar and writing song at the age of fifteen. Growing up, he was constantly exposed to a broad range of music that strongly influenced his own original writing style. It has allowed Ben to draw the listener in on many different levels and connect in a more personal way.

In 1999, Ben left Australia to spend time in Europe, essentially to hone his skills and develop his musical style. He cut his teeth in the heart of London’s West End with a permanent residency in one of the most happening venues at the time. Ben’s down to earth personality and ability to deliver live saw him become one of the hottest, most sought after artists in that scene, bringing “the spirit of a B&S Ball to the heart of London”. Ben toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe before returning to Australia where his passion in music held root.

In 2010, Ben completed his first studio recording, “The Long Way”. While unreleased to this date, Ben says ‘the album was a labor of love that gave him a vehicle for expression and allowed him to explore all facets of his personality through various styles of music. The first single, “Bourbon & Sunsets”, was a runaway hit – peaking at #2 on the Hot Country Top 50 chart and performing solidly on the CMC Top 50.

In 2012 & 2013 he was a finalist in the coveted Toyota Star Maker competition – the same competition that launched the careers of Keith Urban, Lee Kernaghan, James Blundell and Samantha McClymont.

After graduating from the CMAA Academy Of Country Music in 2012, Ben completed his debut album, “Slow Burn” with Matt Fell and Glen Hannah. The first single, “Truck Stop Honey”, received national airplay and earned him a nomination for Contemporary Song of The Year at the TSA Awards. The album was released in 2013 to rave reviews and continued to produce hit singles in the form of “Big Country Sky” and “You’re On The Top of My To-Do List”.

By 2013, Ben was touring nationally and appearing at major Festivals and in October of that year, Ben was introduced to international hit maker and multi million record selling producer, Rob E.G. Porter. This resulted in the collaboration on the Jackson Browne classic, “Somebody’s Baby”. Released under Porters’ famous Wizard record label. The track was launched at the 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival and entered the charts at #7.

While plans were being drawn up for his sophomore studio album, Ben and company performed at the iconic Sydney venue ‘The Basement’ which resulted in the live record, “Ben Ransom – LIVE”. This release saw unexpected hits “One More Beer” and “Mamma I’m Coming Home” become staples on regional radio, while setting the platform for the stellar (studio recorded) single, “Dry Town”. This peaked at #2 on the Country Singles Chart and
by the following year, Ben was named Best Male Rising Artist at the 2016 Southern Star Awards.

In 2017 Ben joined with Country Rocks Records as the first artist signed to their newly formed label.
“Let’s Go Driving”, (an upbeat country-rock smash) was the first release under this new deal, which gave Ben his very first #1 single, staying at the top spot for six consecutive weeks on the Country Tracks Top 40.

In signing with the new label, Ben stated, “I’m absolutely stoked to be part of the ‘Country Rocks’ family – knowing that I am associated with a team that actually walks the walk! These guys are out there putting in the hard slog, which is why their passion for music and ethos of ‘respect’ for the artists is so refreshing”,

The new studio album – “101” was released in January 2018. Two more singles followed, “You’re The Reason Why” and “Same Song, Different Day” both hitting #1 before the huge mainstream hit “Young Years” was unleashed! This saw Ben team up with Australasian icon Sharon O’Neill in a duet of the song that she wrote with her partner Alan Mansfield and previously released by the legendary band Dragon.
Also featuring on the album was some of the last recorded work by legendary guitarist Phil Emmanuel.

Over the summer of 2018/2019 Ben began working on a new album and once again teamed up with producer Matt Fell. Recorded in Nashville and featuring a raft of industry heavyweights, this recording is shaping up to being some of Ben’s best work yet!

One thing is for certain, Ben Ransom, is the real deal and is destined for very big things.

Song of the Year – The Petticoat Crew

Biography

Over the last few years, songwriter and vocalist Sally Harris has been quietly building a repertoire of songs that bring together a love of history, mythology, traditional song, tunes and sessions. Together with one of Australia’s most well known and respected folk musicians, Rebecca Wright, and superb multi-instrumentalist Lachlan Baldwin, these stories have been brought to life with exquisite cello lines, blazing bouzouki and heart melting harmonies.

With their eponymous album winning three titles in the Australian Celtic Music Awards 2018 and their song “The Miners Way” announced as a `inalist in the 2019 Queensland Music Awards, Gone Molly are truly unique folk storytellers. Breathing life into colourful characters and tales imagined or discovered, ‘The Mollies’ whisper and roar through the grimy streets of London, over ghostly battle`ields and down into the faerie dells of Anglo-Celtic history. Delivered with a joyful energy and a hint of the theatrical, their live performances are not to be missed!

The Gone Molly eponymous debut album was released in December 2017 and has been receiving radio rotation in Australia, the UK, Canada and the US, and many requests from other folk musicians to cover their songs.

    Kissing the Flint

    Nominated for

    Song of the Year – Fare Thee Well Lament

     

    Biography

    Fascinated with singing from a very young age, Leah Chynoweth-Tidy began performing professionally in 2012 after learning to play guitar and ukulele. She fronted Gladstone Region bands ded@27, Cosmic String Theory and Dr Trouble for the next few years, most notably at the Agnes Water Blues Roots & Rock Festival with the various line-ups. After all bands went their separate ways, Leah began song-writing originals and performing as a solo artist in 2015 as “Kissing The Flint”, then as a duo with husband Ken at various Gladstone Region venues and events including: Australia Day, 1770 Festival, Agnes Water Blues Roots & Rock Festival, Beach Arts Music, Crow Street Creative, Under The Trees Festival, Queens Commonwealth Games Baton Relay Welcome, Feast on East Cruise Ship public welcome events, various Gladstone pub venues, the Band Together Baffle Creek Bushfire Benefit with Adam Harvey; Great Keppel Island Hideaway; 45 on East Rockhampton; Keppel Coast Arts Creek Sessions, OM (Original Music) Fest and Pie Alley Blues in Yeppoon.

    Leah has twice been selected to appear on stage as part of the RocKwiz National Tour in 2010 and again in 2017 with her voice a stand-out during both selection heats; performing an unrehearsed impromptu song both times out front of the RocKwiz Orkestra.

    She was further chosen on merit in 2017 as 1 of 12 finalists across 3 Regional Queensland locations (1 of 4 participants in Gladstone) to participate in the Queensland Music Festival’s Songs That Made Me mentorship program; supporting emerging female singer-songwriters in regional areas and addressing the under-representation of females in the music industry in general. Mentored by Katie Noonan, Leigh Carriage, Deborah Conway, Clare Bowditch, Hannah Macklin and Hayley Marsten, workshops culminated in a public performance on the Gladstone Marina stage with an all-female rhythm section. Leah has also been mentored since May 2018 in voice and song-writing by Tania Doko of Bachelor Girl.

    Recorded with Dave Beacon at High Lion Studio Calliope and showcasing original local artwork, their carbon-negative debut EP “Unconditionality” launched at this year’s 1770 Festival in hard copy and on all major digital platforms. Thanks to support from the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), they also released official music videos for two of the EP tracks that were filmed around their local community with a positive focus on the recovery phase after the 2018 Deepwater bushfire.
    Slave to no particular genre, Kissing the Flint light up any stage with their eclectic repertoire crossing roots, folk, reggae, soul, funk, rock and pop; driven by guitar, bass, drum loops and a versatile, power-house female vocal laced with character, depth and appreciable natural vibrato.

    “Kissing the Flint initially came into my mind as a simple visual image,” says Leah, “but in days of old, to ‘kiss the flint’ also meant ‘to cause a spark’, to ‘light a fire’ – which is what music has done from its very roots. Music sparks emotion, communication, passion, joy, the urge to move, to vocalise. What a fantastic thrill to be able to create musical sparks, to share and affect others positively through what we absolutely love to do. Very few “jobs” allow the opportunity to dress up and get up on stage in front of a live audience – wow, what’s not to love about that?”

    Biography

    The creative combination of a deeply traditional folk musician with a blues and roots singer gives Sadie and Jay an intimate and enchanting sound. They play beautiful songs with exceptional vocals, glorious harmonies, intricate finger style guitar, bouzouki and double bass. They are influenced by the storytelling nature of the Anglo-Celtic traditions and contemporary folk, blues and roots music which reflects in their collaborative songwriting.

    Born in Scotland and raised in New Zealand, Jay (David J Penman) grew up in a musical family immersed in traditional British folk music. For many years Jay has been a member of four part family A-Capella group The PENMANS. With Welsh heritage, Sadie’s love for singing is instinctive. From jazz & blues to world & roots music, Sadie has performed with accomplished musicians, theatre and cabaret enriching her spellbinding vocal ability.
    For the past six years Sadie and Jay have been performing as a duo in and beyond the Brisbane folk and festival scene. They’ve had two very successful tours in the UK in 2016 and 2018 with a third scheduled for 2020. Most recently they were guests at Upton Upon Severn and Great North Folk Festivals in the UK and they were the headline act for New Zealand’s Hamilton Folk Festival in 2019.
    Sadie and Jay have released three original studio albums, Curious (2015) Rogue Folk (2017) and A Passing of Seasons (2019) featuring several high profile South East Queensland musicians. Their third studio album features refined and spirited historical Australian stories in Sadie and Jay’s characteristic modern folk style.

    Richard Grainger – British folk singer/songwriter & Festival Director
    “Sadie & Jay – fabulous duo, highly professional with exquisite arrangements of songs in the folk and acoustic style. Sadie is a beautiful singer and is the double bass player, while Jay provides expert well worked guitar accompaniments. Both take lead vocal and their harmonies make the hairs on the back of your head curl.”

    Alison Bell – Vice President of The Brisbane Folk History Project
    “This is the third album by Brisbane based duo Sadie and Jay and it is possibly the best of Australian contemporary folk music that you could purchase. Few artists pay such exquisite detail to the total soundscape. This album will leave delightful sounds echoing in your head long after you have stopped listening to the actual tracks…”

    Robin Brew – Hamilton Folk Club NZ
    “This all too temporary importation demanded my attention from their first offering, not only for their superb musicianship, lovely use of dynamics, vocal shading etc but really topical, relevant and brave songwriting about issues that need raising.”

    Mick McHugh

    Nominated for

    Song of the Year – A Million Stars

     

    Biography

    “There’s a candle burning in the dark – always a glimmer of hope.” Mick McHugh

    Indie folk artist Mick McHugh has stepped out and stepped up with the release of his debut studio album, for which he crowd-funded $19,000. ‘A Million Stars’ was released on 16th February 2018, and showcases him as the well-rounded, matured singer songwriter and musician that he’s spent the past decade refining.

    The last 12 months have been a whirlwind for the Australian based singer/songwriter, performing to sold out audiences after picking up three coveted support slots with Aria Award winning indie-pop darling Amy Shark, as well as an East Coast tour with Irish folk singer/songwriter Damien Dempsey. The lead single ‘Not in Kansas Anymore’ (co-written with Goanna’s Shane Howard) saw McHugh win the Best Music Video award at the NCEIA Dolphin Music Awards …the prize resulting in a day’s recording in Pete Murray’s Kicks Iron studio. The song was also a finalist in the Great American Song Contest and a semi-finalist in two categories in the International Songwriting Competition. McHugh topped it off by signing a Digital Distribution deal with ABC Music.

    ‘A Million Stars’ is a statement of an album, McHugh as an artist not afraid to address tough issues, hardships and plight, but at the same time, layering it in his trademark hope – for Mick McHugh, this album is just the beginning.

    “Mick McHugh connects with the important elements of music – his songs and his audience.”
    Amy Shark
    “There is a vulnerability in his voice that expresses the deep fragility of our world and the times we’re living in.”

    Norma O’Hara Murphy

    Nominated for

    Female Artist of the Year – Finalist
    Song of the Year – Patriot Games

     

    Biography

    Norma O’Hara Murphy has been described as a ‘National Treasure’ after a Folk Club performance in Melbourne.

    The release of Norma’s new Celtic album (Bloodlines) reminds us of that special quality that is within, to truly capture and bring out a whole new chapter for this Aussie Singer/Songwriter, third generation Irish/Australian.

    There has always been a folky/Irish flavour with Norma’s songs but with this collection comes an unashamed pride for Ireland and all she stands for. There is a much more serious and deeper reflection on the place and the role in the world of Irish/Celtic music. Norma explores and indeed challenges some of the old traditional views and some of the long held prejudices.

    Patriot games is a personal favourite and in good conscience Norma felt the need to bring the song into the here & now, as well as adding that wonderful Australian flavour that is such a defining part of Norma’s Songwriting. “My name is O’Hara”, the opening line of Patriot Games, is in fact Norma’s maiden name. However putting aside the (O’Hara) connection for now because the main inspiration for this album (volume one) of Bloodlines is the family history on Norma’s Mothers side, the Hungerford’s. It is found to be a treasure trove of amazing tales of Medieval Castles, Medieval knights & warriors, legendary battles, serious connections to ancient Kings – totally fascinating. It has inspired some songs on this album – full of gems – as well as some wonderful old classics and of course some great original lyrics woven into some of these gems. This is a collection to remind us all of where we came from, our heritage, our own history & reminding us all we should appreciate our musical heritage and celebrate the wonderful gift of song as Norma celebrates her own special gift passed on down through the centuries.

    This collection is to remember & pay tribute to both her parents and her grandparents who were pioneers of this land and are the ones who sailed over from Ireland & giving the entire family the opportunity to live in this wonderful country. This collection marks Norma’s fifteenth album and it is nominated in the Australian Celtic Awards for 2020. One of the most original artists & Songwriters of our time Norma continues to bring so much joy with these wonderful songs & stories and we all look forward to the next exciting creation from this genuine National treasure.
