Artist Update:
July 27, 2007
Connie Kis Andersen
G'day from W.A!
I hope that this
update finds you all well and happy … winter here in Western Australia
has been fraught with ‘flu and colds for my family but fortunately
they are not the sort of bugs that can be transmitted via e-mail!
Wanted to write
and let those friends who have been making noises about coming down to
see us at the Kardy that our three and a half year residency is coming
to an end this Saturday July 28.
Brad and I have
enjoyed our time there immensely and would sincerely like to thank
Con, George and the staff for the pleasure – it has been a great
experience!
That’s not to
say we won’t be back at the Kardinya soon … we are already booked for
September 29 and have been invited back for a couple of spots in
October, which I am afraid we are unable to do.
Reason being? I
am heading back to the USA on October 1st until early November.
A radio
promotion tour in support of my US radio release; Wicked Game
is being organized for me by Nashville based,
Airplay Specialists.
The track is
doing very well there … in the first month over 64
stations in the US (that I am aware of) were playing it - some as many as
37 spins a week! Fingers crossed that the response to it in the
coming months will be exponential ....
While in
Nashville I will be taking part in a NSAI songwriting workshop with
the masters and look forward to that very much.
Now add several
gigs to the trip (some to be confirmed … others confirmed but the
actual dates to be tidied up) and I suspect that I will have little
time to be homesick!
As dates become
‘concrete’ and more information falls into place, I will let you know
with an updated gig guide.
In other news,
we finished the video for Wicked Game just over a week
ago.
The clip was directed by Derek Hobbs, who is known around Perth
for filming Nitenews, documentaries and the recent independent film,
The Bouncer starring John Waters.
For those
interested in a special pre-view of the clip, a link to the webcast version
is posted here for you …. just
CLICK HERE
I have had quite
a few wide-ranging comments about and reactions to it from
industry folk … so feel free to let me know what you think as well.
Given the
positive interest the track has received in the US, I have decided to
release Wicked Game in Australia as well. It will be out to
radio here on August 13, so if you feel inclined, do contact your
local country music station and request it!
And so … In
support of the new release, I head over to Sydney for a few shows
again in September. I look forward to that trip very much …
With the help of
RUM Entertainment, the new album,
ONCE AGAIN
continues to get some wonderful attention through radio and
print media and so my sincerest thanks go to those who have been
supporting the album and the first single from it; Mere
Male which is still climbing the
Top 100 Country Hits Charts.
Please know that
I am finding it increasingly difficult to get around personally and
thank all of you for your support but I would like to express my
sincerest appreciation to everyone as always.
That’s my update
for now and so until next time,
stay well, be happy and make (or listen to) great music!
Warmest wishes from

some of his awards. Tom produced both Gone Wishin’ and
Once Again.
