JETTY ROAD SIGNS WITH WJO DISTRIBUTION FOR THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET AND PREMIERE COUNTRY MUSIC LABEL, ON RAMP RECORDS, IN CANADA FOR THEIR NEW ALBUM, "FAR AWAY PLACES", IN-STORE NOW!
THE SIGNINGS
Jetty Road is proud to announce that On Ramp Records is now the exclusive label representative for them in Canada, overseeing the group's distribution with EMI Canada and supporting the band's ongoing development. Making this agreement even more special for the band, Jetty Road is the first non-Canadian act On Ramp has signed to their roster.
In Australia, the group has remained independent, but is very excited to announce that WJO will be handling their distribution across the country.
THE NEW ALBUM
"Far Away Places" is Jetty Road's much anticipated 4th album, featuring a number of co-writes with Canadian country stars such as Jason McCoy from The Road Hammers, as well as a co-write and duet with George Canyon - Canada's most played Canadian country music artist for the past two years.
The album was recorded and produced in Canada by Paul Shatto at "The Factory", the very place where legendary albums Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi), Pump (Aerosmith), and Thunderstruck (AC/DC) were recorded.
In 2010, Let It Out, was released in Canada from "Far Away Places", cracking the Top 50 on the influential Mediabase country chart and was added to close to 60 radio stations across Canada. Jetty Road is the first ever independent Australian country music artist/act to do so.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR JETTY ROAD?
"Far Away Places" is due for independent release in Australia in early May, with the first single from the album, "Serves You Right", going to radio on May 2nd. The band will perform at various venues on the east coast of Australia between the release of the album and heading overseas on tour. To keep up-to-date, visit their website at:
Jetty Road will also be playing Main Stage performances at the 2011 Canadian festivals alongside such artists as Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Trace Atkins, Vince Gill, Joe Nichols, Gary Allan, Sara Evans, George Canyon, Travis Tritt, Lonestar, and Ricky Skaggs.
AND FINALLY...
Going from strength to strength with the release of every new album, Jetty Road's latest offering, "Far Away Places", will likely impress anyone who hears it. With the beautiful harmonies of twin sisters, Paula & Lee Bowman, the amazing musicianship of Simon Ross and Julian Sammut, the range and depth of songs will have their fans singing along with them in no time. In addition to that, "Far Away Places" is the sort of album that could crossover at any time, with influences from many genres making an appearance!
Stay tuned...Jetty Road - taking it to the streets, not just the country!
