Two country music divas present Two Queens of County Music

A piece of Tamworth comes to Adelaide this week when tiny powerhouse singer/performer Marie Hodson arrives to perform The First Two Queens of Country with local country music diva Amber Joy Poulton.

Marie Hodson

Marie released her Debut CD “Just About Now” in 2002. The first single, “Out Of Reach”, reached the #1 position in the U.S.A. on Cashbox Magazine Independent Country Music Chart, in August 2007. Her newest, “Read Between The Lies”, is a 13 track treasure with a wealth of great songs produced “Cowboys Love Texas” which reached No. 6 on the ECMA Charts charting at No 1 Sweden, No 2 Germany, No 9 Norway.

A combination of the success of her albums and her enchanting stage presentation has allowed Marie to become rapidly entrenched in the elite level of performers in the Country Music Industry. Quoted from December 2009 CAPITAL NEWS… “If you like your Country served ‘straight up’ MARIE HODSON will intoxicate!”

Marie is in Adelaide to perform her own material with local hotshots Amber Joy Poulton and The Holy Men, and to feature in a new production brought to the stage by Amber Joy: The First Two Queens of Country in which Marie will sing a collection of best-know Reba McEntire songs.

Amber Joy Poulton

Amber Joy, who found her feet in the Australian Country music industry with her hit show Honky Tonk Angels – the Loretta Lynn Story, is currently living her dream! Her latest release, Break Even has hit the Top 10 on the Australian Country Music Charts with the up-tempo song currently sitting at Number 9, keeping company with the likes of fellow Aussie Kasey Chambers (number 2) and American country stars Brad Paisley (number 3) and Reba McEntire (number 10).
Break Even is Amber Joy’s fourth release off her highly successful debut album Taking Goodbye, “I’ve been keeping a close eye on the song since it hit the charts and really, I’m just happy to be in the Top 30, but I’d be lying if I said that I hadn’t had my fingers crossed for a Top 10 hit. It’s a nice feeling”. Her album, Taking Goodbye is no stranger to the Australian Country Music Charts with her first release Rising Star making the Top 30 and the duet with Doug Bruce, Close Enough peaking at number 13 and has clocked up a total of around 30 weeks in the charts since the album’s release in October 2009.
