ECHUCA WORKERS C.M.FESTIVAL

Girls Gone Gospel
 

Hellfire and brimstone sermons are usually associated with gospel music, but not on Saturday August 23 at the Town Hall in York when music fans will get the opportunity to hear some of Perth’s finest singers come together to offer simply classic gospel songs laced with sweet harmonies.

Songs such as Amazing Grace, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, Peace in The Valley made famous by Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves and the likes will be re-born with the soaring vocals of accomplished female vocalists Connie Kis Andersen, Vicki Lee, Karen Rudge and Tracie Redding.

Gracing the stage too is male vocalist Denny Collier from the very popular, iconic show band, Frisco who will be backing the singers and playing dance music after the show. 

Brendon T Moylan, well known to Perth country music fans as the Presenter from Curtin Radio’s, Born in Boots will be there as MC.

And as for the Girls Gone Gospel  …   audiences will be enchanted with performances by;

Vicki Lee … who was recently awarded Best Country Female Vocalist and Best West Australian Gospel Vocalist at the 2008 W.A. Country Music Awards, held at Boyup Brook. She is also recognised as the front singer for the band Southbound.

Karen Rudge … an accomplished musician in her own right, having had early formal training in the UK playing Sax, Clarinet.  For over 10 years, Karen fronted the bands Sistermatic and Missbehavin, wowing Perth audiences with their fabulous shows and memorable harmony arrangements that were likened to the Andrew Sisters.

Tracie Redding … No stranger to the stage, this singer /songwriter has opened for acts such as Kate Ceberano and Gangajang.  She has graced the stage in award winning musicals and fronted bands at a national level.  Tracie’s greatest passion is songwriting and her tunes are attracting interest internationally.
