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"
studios - renowned for legendary albums, Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi), Pump (Aerosmith),
and Thunderstruck (AC/DC).
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:

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
