About Me

2008 Tiara Award Winner & 2008 Golden Guitar Finalist.The rapid rise of Australian music sensation Jetty Road has been truly remarkable. Lee and Paula, Julian and Simon make up the talented outfit; delivering their unique style of country music in the best way they know how; and it’s definitely striking a chord.Although originally raised in country Victoria, Jetty Road are now based in Melbourne. Striking twin sisters Lee and Paula Bowman are fast becoming renowned for their rich soulful harmonies and are perfectly complemented by the outstanding talents of multi-instrumentalists Julian Sammut and Simon Ross.The release of their debut album Full Circle in 2005 spawned their first country radio Top 20 radio hit Run To You, which later featured as the opening track on the ABC Saturday Night Country Hottest Hits Vol.2 compilation. Jetty Road’s fresh talent has since been embraced by audiences nation wide. Appreciated for their melodic music and pertinent lyrics, Jetty Road oozes enthusiasm, passion and confidence.~ Jetty Road’s music is a tapestry of pop and country, with a hint of folk. Imagine The Corrs and Faith Hill with a unique Australian edge ~With such an appealing mix the Australian Country Music scene quickly embraced Jetty Road. Deborah Minter (Capital News) declaring Jetty Road “as good as anything that has come out of the US.”Word spread quickly about their dynamic live performances with audiences coming to see their shows at Music Festivals both nationally and internationally. The ‘talk’ of Jetty Road increased and soon after they were sought out by Australian country music legend James Blundell for tour support during 2006, and again in 2007 for his Ring Around the Moon tour alongside Travis Collins, Dianna Corcoran and Kirsty Lee Akers. Their highly anticipated second album Dirt Roads ~ City Lights, has seen them extensively touring since its release in January 07. The album has already produced the hits I Wanna Go Home, peaking at 3 on the Australian Country Track Charts, and Real Smooth Cowboy, reaching 12 on the Australian Country Track Charts and a Top 5 position on the Country Music Channel Top 30 charts. Jetty Road is starting to establish themselves as one of Australia’s premier music acts with an abundance of 2008 award finalist nominations including: 36th CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia Finalist for Group/Duo of the Year,Australian Country Music Peoples Choice Award Finalist for Best Group & Best Album,11th Blue Dog TIARA Awards Finalist for Best Group / Winner,Victorian & National Country Music Award Finalist for Best Group – National, Best Independent Release – National, Best Group – VIC, Best Album - VIC,2008 is set to be a huge year for Jetty Road, having just been confirmed to perform at Canada’s Dauphin’s Countryfest in June this of year performing alongside artists such as American Country superstar Alan Jackson, Lonestar, and Emerson Drive.Embark on the amazing journey of Jetty Road.Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
