‘MY SIDE OF THE STREET’ – Single Out Now At last night’s Annual CMC Music Awards, rock-country star Adam Brand walked away with gongs for AUSTRALIAN VIDEO OF THE YEAR for ‘What Your Love Looks Like’, along with the coveted CMC OZ ARTIST OF THE YEAR award. Brand, already a multiple CMC Award-winner, was thrilled to have achieved further trophies for his ARIA Award-nominated album ‘My Side Of The Street’.

Adam’s current single ‘My Side of the Street’ is out now.   WATCH the video here

Shot in a variety of stunning Townsville locations, the ‘My Side Of The Street’ video clip depicts a diverse local community pitching in to achieve a positive outcome, in line with the song’s lyrics; “Come a little closer...I know now you should come on over, to my side of the street". The unique graffiti artwork is inspired by the song’s title, and painted by internationally acclaimed artist Lee Harnden, who originally hails from Townsville QLD. “Combine a world-renowned graffiti artist, members of our Military, the SES Services, some amazing locals and breathtaking North QLD locations, and you have all the ingredients for a video that will make a statement!” said Adam. “This video shows what can happen when we all come together on the same side of the street.” Adam Brand is a 12-time Golden Guitar Award-winner, and multiple ARIA Award-nominee. ‘My Side Of The Street’ debuted at #5 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart in 2014, and #1 on the ARIA Country Album Chart. ‘My Side Of The Street’ was produced by Adam’s long-time collaborator Craig Porteils (Guns n Roses, Billy Idol, Guy Sebastian) and is a 13-track long-player that features Jasmine Rae on ‘Quit This Time’ and closes out with ‘Most People I Know Think That I’m Crazy’, made famous by Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs. www.adambrand.com.au twitter.com/adambrand facebook.com/AdamBrandOfficial www.abcmusic.com.au For further information and interview requests please contact: Nicole Stringer National Promotions Manager - ABC Contemporary Music 02 9207 0600 [email protected]

ABC MUSIC wins two more ARIA Awards

At the Music Award Ceremony in Sydney on the 26th November celebrating the best of the Australian Music Industry, ABC Music won two honours in the 2014 ARIA Awards, taking the total number of awards won by the label this year to an impressive six out of a possible eleven categories.

The Wiggles made history by taking out the Best Children’s Award for the 12th time, although the 2014 win is a first for the new line-up which features the first female Wiggle, Emma Watkins. Apples & Bananas is the fifth release from the new line-up featuring Simon Pryce, Lachlan Gillespie, Emma Watkins and original member Anthony Field. The Wiggles Big Show! Live tour is currently underway and will continue through December.

Buddy Goode has won the ARIA for Best Comedy Release, with his album It’s a Buddy Goode Christmas. This is Goode’s second ARIA, following his 2012 win with his album Unappropriate. Goode’s comedy albums combine his inappropriate sense of humour with country and western musical stylings.

Natalie Waller, General Manager of ABC Music, is pleased with the wins.

“The ARIA awards represent the Australian music industry’s achievements for this year and to have ABC Music artists included amongst those winners highlights the variety and quality of our artists and their releases.”

“We’re incredibly proud of all our artists who were nominated for awards and we extend our congratulations to The Wiggles and Buddy Goode for their wins.”

Last night’s awards have taken ABC Music’s 2014 ARIA Awards tally to six, having won four Fine Arts Awards in October.

ABC Music wins all four 2014 ARIA Fine Arts Awards and receives 22 nominations across 11 categories

At a ceremony at the Art Gallery of NSW today (7 October 2014), it was announced that ABC Music had been awarded all four of the 2014 ARIA Fine Arts Awards, and received a total of 22 nominations across 11 categories.

The winners of the four Fine Arts Awards, all of which were taken by ABC Music, were: Compassion – Lior, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Nigel Westlake (Best Classical Album); The Bitter Suite – Paul Grabowsky Sextet (Best Jazz Album); Permission to Evaporate – Joseph Tawadros (Best World Music Album); and Gurrumul: His Life and Music – Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu / SSO (Best Original Soundtrack / Cast / Show Album).

Natalie Waller, General Manager of ABC Music, commented: “We extend huge congratulations to all of our winning and nominated artists. We are very proud of the breadth of ABC Music’s output, and our 22 nominations across 11 categories – from Classical to Comedy, Jazz to Children’s – speaks volumes about the quality and variety of the artists with whom we are so privileged to work. “Today we offer special congratulations to the ABC Music artists who have won all four Fine Arts Awards, including Joseph Tawadros who won the Best World Music Album Award for the third year in succession, and Paul Grabowsky who has now won an ARIA in every decade since the 1980s. Good luck to all our nominees in the remaining categories for the ceremony on 26 November!”

ARIA 2014 FINE ARTS AWARDS: THE WINNING ALBUMS

The Award for Best Classical Album was taken by Compassion, a collaboration between composer Nigel Westlake, singer Lior and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Compassion, a “Symphony of Songs”, draws from the rich worlds of Islam and Judaism to present a collection of profound and poetic insights into the practice of compassion and its ability to transform our relationships as human beings. Recorded at the Sydney Opera House, the work has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike: it was awarded five stars by The Australian and has been revived as a live concert on numerous occasions including in Melbourne's Myer Music Bowl.

Australian jazz legend Paul Grabowsky was presented with the Award for Best Jazz Album for The Bitter Suite, recorded with the Paul Grabowsky Sextet – a group which comprises some of the finest players on the Australian jazz scene. The album was written in an “urgent tumble” in just a couple of weeks, and draws on everything from The Rolling Stones to Rachmaninoff. Awarding the album five stars, The Australian acclaimed the “superb interpretations of imaginative compositions”.

Oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros took his third ARIA Award in succession for Best World Music Album with Permission to Evaporate. Recorded in New York in February 2014, Joseph was joined by Christian McBride (bass), Mike Stern (guitar) and Matt McMahon (piano), and by his long-time musical companion and brother James Tawadros (req and bendir). The album takes inspiration from a wide variety of styles and sounds from bluegrass to world, jazz to folk.

The incomparable Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu won the Award for Best Original / Soundtrack / Cast / Show Album for Gurrumul: His Life and Music. Recorded live with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the album presents some of Gurrumul’s most famous works accompanied by orchestra, alongside introductions from Gurrumul’s family which give a rare insight into the people, the country and the stories behind one of Australia’s most popular musicians.
