Ticket are still available for Pioneer Village, Mullum Ex-services, Adelaide Folk Centre, Tandanya Cafe and Murray Bridge City Hall and for more details head to my gigs page. This week we headed to Sydney for a media launch with Koori Radio and hosted by media legend and dear friend Jeff McMullen. A massive thank you to Koori Radio and Gadigal for greatly assisting to put on the midday launch and make sure you pick up the next Koori Mail, NIT, Vibe Magazine and listen to Koori radio for more play during the coming months ahead. Big love to Jeff McMullen for a fantastic review and heart felt comments.

Backed by some of country music’s finest pickers, I had a blast playing with including Rudy Miranda, Ian Lees, Steve Pasfield and Producer/Guitar Icon Stuie French. You can see by the photo’s I was in my element, as they not only bring a sense of ease on stage but they crack me up with classic country picking. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Please head to my fan page on Facebook and Myspace for these great photo albums. I hope you are enjoying the music and we look forward to seeing you on the road across the country. More blogs, videos and picks to come. See you soon.

Travel Safe, AJ

**Media Release: Stars Glow with Praise at the ‘dawn’ of new talent**

Stars glow with praise at
the ‘dawn’ of new talent.

Entertainment heavyweights and industry stars are coming out of the woodwork with glowing praise and accolades in support of rising country music star Adam James and his new album – Children of the Sunrise – which launches on the 9th June in Sydney.

Media personalities Ray Martin, Jeff McMullen, country star Felicity Urquhart and a host of domestic and international publications are raving about James’s talent, which is perfectly showcased on the new album, according to McMullen who is also hosting the launch at Sydney’s Yaama Diyhaan in Darlington.

“Adam’s a ‘star’ in every sense of the word, and he brings with him what all truly successful artists have –innovation; take his title track, Children of the Sunrise, there is so much freshness and heart in his writing, and it creates a new space in country music.

“He is a countryman with such a strong sense of place and such a huge love of family.

“This [album] may redefine the genre,” said McMullen.

Renowned TV journalist and host, Ray Martin, powerfully echoed McMullen’s sentiments when asked to categorise James’s ability and potential.

“I grew up listening to country music – both in Australia and America, where I worked for a decade, and for many years ‘The Midday Show’ put me in the studio with new exciting country talent – from Keith Urban to Lee Kernighan and Troy Cassar-Daley.

“I think Adam James has the good looks ‘n’ personality, the musical potential and the passion to match any of those stars,” Martin said.

Country star in her own right, Felicity Urquhart, was another to rally behind James’s new album and lead single release, “Freedom Now Begins,” on her ABC National radio program “Saturday Night Country.”

“Adam James is the whole package; his passion for music and community are rare in such a young artist; his striking presence makes Adam stand out from the new breed of country artists; he knows what he believes and delivers with unwavering conviction.

“This album will introduce a new audience to this young artist,” said Urquhart.

In addition, James collected accolades on his May tour of Europe and North America where he played a limited number of performances to showcase the hit songs from the album.
