Boy from the bush coming back to town

LEE Kernaghan has added a show in Ballarat to the final leg of his Boys From The Bush ‘The Concert’ tour, at the Civic Hall on Saturday 14 June.

The Ballarat date is one of 30 shows around the country marking the conclusion of a sellout run last year, starting in Newcastle in May and winding up in November in Port Lincoln, South Australia.

“We missed some great towns last year, so we’re firing it up one last time,” Kernaghan said.

“From Queensland to WA and a whole lot of legendary places in between, these final 30 shows are gonna be an amazing sendoff for what has been an incredible tour.”

Kernaghan’s setlist will include classic hits like The Outback Club, Texas Qld 4385, She’s My Ute, Damn Good Mates and Flying With The King, along with some new music and a strong lineup of guests.

Joining the Australian country music mainstay will be Tori Darke, who appeared on The Voice, four-time Golden Guitar nominee Matt Cornell and Kernaghan’s wife Robby Kernaghan, who will perform the duets Fire, Wheels and Where I Wanna Be.

Kernaghan’s latest single with The Wolfe Brothers, Country is Coming to Town, is making waves on radio and social media.

The music video, filmed in front of a crowd in Peel Street, Tamworth, sparked a viral outfit-change challenge with celebrities and fans joining in from across the country.

Country is Coming to Town is Kernaghan’s fourth collaboration with the Golden Guitar-winning group.

A Universal Pictures documentary from 2022 about Kernaghan called Boy From The Bush made its streaming and free-to-air debut last month.

It is part concert film and part road movie, and reportedly offers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the man behind the music.

The show will start at 8pm and tickets range from $69.90 to $89.90. They are available through Kernaghan’s website, leekernaghan.com .
