Alan Percy – Buckaroo
Multi Instrumentalist/singer songwriter ALAN PERCY from the award winning duo “ALAN and TRACE ”, has been writing for their upcoming album, following their number one single “THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH ”.
After recording the instrumental “Buckaroo” (formerly recorded by The Buckaroos in November 1965) to celebrate the 55th Anniversary of it’s release and topping the charts, Alan decided to release his version to radio.
It features harmony guitars and pedal steel while still retaining and admiring the distinct sound of Don Rich (Buck Owen’s guitarist) arguably the father of what we now know as the
Bakersfield sound.

Australia's Country Music Gentleman
Rod Williams
A name well known to the eastern states of Australia, 1980-1988 as an accomplished singer/song writer recording artist. Rod has been blessed with a strong rich voice which has allowed him to perform in some of the best venues throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, including RSL’s, Hotel’s, Festival’s and Club’s, etc.
Affectionately dubbed “Australia’s Country Music Gentleman” by the music press, because of his attire and presentation, is a tag Rod wears with pride. After more than 20 years off the music scene Rod is making a comeback and is still going strong today writing and recording many fabulous songs and singing with the same rich velvet smooth voice he is known for. Two more albums, both recorded in 2009 are "Reminiscing", a collection of some of Rods favorites and "Sings Hank". This album has some of the best Hank Williams numbers covered beautifully by Rod in his own smooth style and all albums are available on his new Website.
Rod’s latest release is a self penned bush ballad CD single titled “An Old Time Drover”. A song he wrote after attending the Boondooma Bush Ballad Festival in April. A song which is close to Rod’s heart as he spent a great deal of his early life in the outback.
