The loyalty and ongoing commitment of his dedicated fan base is simple legendary. Adam has exciting plans ahead for the next couple of years and we are thrilled to now be plaing our part in the next phase of his career as his record label," said General Manager of ABC Music, Natalie Waller.


Adam Brand joins a label roaster which includes leading Australian country artists Lee Kernaghan, McAlister Kemp, Sara Storer, Jasmine Rae, Catherine Britt, The Wolf Brothers, Jayne Denham and Baylou, as well as celebrated artists Tim Rogers, The Audreys, David Hobson, Anthony Callea and The Wiggles. ABC Must artists won a total of seven ARIA Awards in 2013.


"I am absolutely thrilled to be starting this next chapter of my career with ABC Music. The team at ABC are undoubtedly at the top of their game and I can't wait to work with them." said Adam Brand.


Adam Brand's' first release will be an acoustically focused album, titled My Acoustic Diary, on November 8, 2013. A new full studio album will then follow in mid-2014.
