Supporting developing, local artists is a cause close to Fanny’s heart and she expressed today, “Playing live is what has built my entire career, from Country halls tour, to Glastonbury and everything in between, so getting to hear other incredible artists do their thing and share the stage with them is such an inspiring part of the job for me. Australia is honestly bursting with talent at the moment, so I think there’s no better time to share the love, both for us as artists and with the audiences”.

This announcement follows the news of her Video of The Year, Golden Guitar award nomination for her autobiographical clip and latest single Look at Me Now ahead of Tamworth’s 54th Golden Guitar Awards scheduled for January 24th at the TRECC. The track is a reflection on her musical journey so far, recorded whilst on the road in Europe with her live band. The clip was produced by Fanny and Dan Stanley Freeman and is a testament to a career that continues to grow with every year.

The nomination has wrapped a huge year for Fanny that saw her headline a successful 23-date European tour and included a sold-out Country Halls tour in Scotland, no less than 7 festivals plus a support slot with fellow Australian singer songwriter Paul Kelly. Fanny then returned to Australia and immediately commenced her run of performances on Kelly’s Antipodean Arena Tour with Lucinda Williams. Festival shows at both Dashville Skyline and Savannah in the Round followed and she opened for Rob Thomas on his Australian tour in early November.
