0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Keep giving.

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 2>They're both household names who have top charts and become

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>two of the most recognizable country music artists in Australia.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Tanya Kernighan hails from one of the great Australian country

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>music families, while Jason Owen he hails from albert, a

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 2>tiny Central West village. Now I'm thrilled to say I

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>got both of them on the line. Hi guys, good,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 2>thank you. Jason. We started the hour with back Home Again.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 2>How did that collaboration with Tanya come about?

0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Mate, great question. I was actually recording a John Denver

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 4>tribute album at the time, and I knew that one

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 4>of Ten's favorite songs was a John Denver song. I

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 4>invited her on to sing it with me, and the

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 4>rest is history. Bill, it really is, mate, and you know,

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm so honored to have her sing on that track

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 4>with me.

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Now, you guys are great friends. Tanya. When did you

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>first meet?

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, it was actually the first time we met face

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 5>to face was about six weeks after I recorded the

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 5>duet back Home Again. Because I live in Queensland, Bill

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 5>and Jason's down in the Central Coast, and so we

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 5>recorded our parts in different studios. But about six weeks

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 5>after the recording was done, we met in mcwille and

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 5>Barr in northern New South Wales where we shot the

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 5>video clip for Back Home Again. And I got out

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 5>of the car and I walked up to Jason. I said,

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 5>get a Jason, I'm Tanya Kernighan. He said, oh, get

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 5>a Tan. You're great to meet you.

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Now, Jason, what's it been like working with her?

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, unbelievable, mate. I grew up listening to her and

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 4>Lee and you know, we can get on about this

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 4>a bit later, but I grew up listening to incredible

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 4>country music, you know. And it's such an honor to

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 4>work with TK. She's a beautiful lady. She's given me

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 4>so much inspiration in my music and just phenomenal to

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>sing with Billy. She really really is, mate, and I

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't change it for the world.

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Tanya, I better ask you the same question, what's like

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 2>working with him?

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.519
<v Speaker 5>Well? I think Jason's a phenomenal talent. You know, he's

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 5>only like thirty years old. He's got a huge future

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 5>in front of him and already he's achieved so much.

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 5>But I called Jason with much affection, the human jeepbox,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 5>because as we just heard there singing stand by your man.

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 5>This kid can sing anything. Bill.

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Now you hail from Albert, Jason, which I've never heard of,

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>A tiny central at West village. What was your early

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>life like?

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Don't help that against me, Bill, Oh mate, it's only

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 4>a little village. There's only ten people out there, and

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 4>it's pretty much the geographical center of New South Wales.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.119
<v Speaker 4>And there's only ten people there. I was the only

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 4>child for probably four or five years growing up there,

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 4>and my dad owned both the businesses in the town,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 4>and you know, at the end of the day made

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 4>it was fantastic growing up out there. I learned how

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 4>to drive a car at an early age. I learned

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 4>how to do a lot of things at an early age.

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 4>And I was I remember when I turned twenty one,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people used to say, oh goodness me,

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 4>I thought you were thirty one the way I used

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 4>to talk to people, because I was so grown up

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>mentally from growing up around great adults.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 2>So where'd you get the country music bug?

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 4>The country music bug, Mate, come in from the Rabbit

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Trap Hotel in Albert. The jukebox. I grew up listening

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 4>to Tenure and Lee and Adam Harvey, Becky Cole, Slim,

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Dusty Brooks and dun you name it across the board, mate.

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 4>And you know it got to about eight thirty nine

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 4>o'clock at night, and you know we'd all used to

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 4>be sitting in the pub there and mum and Dad

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 4>would be having a beer and what have you like that,

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 4>and you put the juke box on and listen to

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 4>great country music. And that's pretty much how it all

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 4>started bill for me.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, Sotana, I don't really need to ask you

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>where your music inmstration comes from. But what was your

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>early life like?

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Well, I spent a lot of time traveling around

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 5>the countryside with mum and dad, my dad Ray Kernigan,

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 5>and of course my brothers Lee and Greg, and my

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 5>sister Fiona and our wonderful mother. And you know I

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 5>remember going on my first tour with mum and Dad

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 5>and the family in nineteen seventy eight. It was six

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 5>months of traveling around Australia as part of the legendary

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 5>Rick and Fell Carey Traveling Country Show. And it was

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 5>back in the days of when you traveled, you traveled

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 5>with the car and caravan and you'd pull up behind

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.119
<v Speaker 5>the town hall, they'd load the gear into the hall

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 5>and do the show that night, and then the next

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 5>day they'd travel to another town and you'd be doing

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 5>that six nights a week. And I was too young

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 5>at that time to be on the stage, but I

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 5>used to listen to Dad every night on the stage

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 5>and listen to all his pattern and his jokes, and

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 5>sure learned a lot of traveling. And I think it

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 5>was those early days Bill that gave me such a

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 5>great love and appreciation for Australia and its people. That's

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 5>the great music we have here now.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Taana seven chart chopping career albums, seventeen number one Radio

<v Speaker 2>Vocal Collaboration of the Year ARIA Finalist, Golden Platinum Records.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. You definitely did the right thing, following

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 2>in your family's footsteps A well.

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 5>I always wanted to sing ever since I was about

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 5>six years old. I think I climbed up on a

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 5>bar stool at the Boomerang Hotel and sing a song

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 5>at the in the beer garden where they had you know,

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 5>you could get up and sing a song with the

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 5>local band, and I sang Morning Chown Ride, you know,

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 5>the old speaker song. You know, rockn roll right, yep,

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 5>and I've Got a few Collapse and I just loved it.

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 5>And I wanted Mum and Dad desperately to take me

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 5>back the next week and I'd learn another song. And

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 5>I just loved singing and loved performing. And I guess

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 5>as I got as a molder now, it's the joy

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 5>that you bring everybody to the audience and that's what

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 5>kind of keeps me going now, is to see other

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 5>people happy and how powerful music is.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 2>And Jason, you were on The X Factor in twenty twelve.

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about that experience.

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was Bill, And you know, growing up in

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 4>albert there's only ten or twelve people there to be

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 4>and train on a stage like that in front of

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 4>three or four million people a night, Well, I think

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 4>that explains it. It was an incredible experience, Billy, It

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 4>really was, mate. I went to New York through the show,

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 4>met some incredible artists Melby, you know, Ronan Keating, Guy Sebastian,

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 4>Natalie Bathingswait, and you know, met some incredible people through it.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 4>And what an experience it was. It really me in

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 4>the deep end to learn what the industry is like

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.239
<v Speaker 4>to a degree. Bill, And you know, realistically, people always say,

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's a hard road to come off one

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 4>of those shows, But twelve years later, I'm still doing it. Mate,

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 4>was one of the best in the scene.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>It was what twenty seventeen you put out and sings

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>John Denver. He really meant something to you, didn't he

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>he did.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:25.679
<v Speaker 5>Mate.

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 4>My Pop, my granddad. He's still living at Albert on

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 4>his own. He's ninety seven in November this year, Bill,

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and he's still really adamant to live in on by himself, Mate,

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 4>I should say. And my Armie lives just down the road.

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 4>She goes and checks on him a few times a day.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 4>But I used to come home from school and go

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 4>in there and literally we go out and you know,

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 4>check the sheep and the cattle and all that type

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 4>of stuff. We were share farming on Alan McCrae's property

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 4>there at Albert and listen to John Denver's music over

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 4>and over and over. Because the tape was stuck in

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 4>the ute. Every time say Pop, I've got to get

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 4>it fixed, you'd say, no, leave it in there, mate.

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 4>If you can sing John Danvy, you can sing anything.

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 4>And the rest is history, Billy.

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>And then twenty eighteen you wrote and recorded the song

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>these are the times with funds raised going towards strout relief.

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Was that's difficult. It's difficult for people living on the land, isn't.

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 4>It It is, mate, it is And I really I

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 4>wrote that song with fellas from CBD. They are a

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 4>pop R and B group from the nineties, right, But

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I sat down with them and I said to them, guys,

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 4>this is what I want to write about. This. Albert's

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 4>where I grew up. You know, my heart's there, it's

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 4>in the bush, and I want to write about something

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 4>to do with drought and how it affects regional businesses,

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 4>rural businesses and families on the land. Because my dad

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.079
<v Speaker 4>owned both the pub and the fuel service station Billy

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 4>in Albert and the only two businesses in the village, right,

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 4>so you can see it firsthand from farmers and businesses,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 4>and how it was like a domino effect, you know,

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 4>through the game.

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 4>So these are the times I've written about that. And

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 4>it was to the Baron by the ca Runners that song.

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Now tenure. Apart from your country music career, you're a

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>skilled horsewoman and a bee keeper.

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.079
<v Speaker 5>M Yeah, I've got twenty thousand bees in my backyard

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 5>in one of those flow hives, Billy, and they fascinate me.

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm just amazed at how you know that you don't

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 5>micro manage bees, You just really let them be, pardon

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 5>the pun. They just do their thing. And the beautiful

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 5>honey that I get every year from them is few months,

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 5>is just divine. And of course horses have been a

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 5>part of my life since I was a little kid,

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 5>four years old, I got up on a horse and

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 5>went riding with my mum and my grandmother, And You've

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 5>always had a horse. And at the moment, I'm very

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 5>much in love with the fifteen hand gelding. His name Spin.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Now we're going to come back to hear about the

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>touring you've got coming up together, but first we're going

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to play one of your duets, try a Little Kindness.

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Where did the idea come for you and Jason to

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 2>tour from.

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 5>To tour together? Well, it was really off the back

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 5>of the back Home Again, the song that we released

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 5>on Jason's album, and we started to do a couple

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 5>of little shows together and then we seem to get

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 5>a lot of response, and then we recorded let Your

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 5>Love Flow, and that just went gangbusters. So that really

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.479
<v Speaker 5>was the catalyst to go out there and tour seriously.

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 5>And then of course this is our third duet that

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 5>we've recorded recently and released, and Trial Little Kindness is

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 5>very much the sentiment of our show. It's about, you know,

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 5>spreading the joy, spreading the happiness and giving a lot

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 5>of love and goodwill to people who come along to

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 5>our shows. And it's through the music that we were

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 5>doing that, and Trial Little Kindness was just fits perfectly

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 5>in the set and it was an easy one to

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 5>record together.

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 6>If you see your brother standing by the rope with

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 6>a heavy low from the seat soul, and if you.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 7>See your sister phone by the way, just stop and

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 7>saying you're going the wrong.

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 8>Way, you've got to trial little kindness. Yes, show a

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 8>little kindness, shine a lot for every scene.

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>And if you try a little kindness, then you'l o

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the blindness of the narrow minded.

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 8>People on the narrow minded extremes.

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 9>Don't walk around town and out.

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Then the helping hand instead of doubt.

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 7>And the kindness that you show every day will help

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 7>somewhere along the way.

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>You've got to try a little kindness.

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 8>Yes, show a little kindness, shine a lot for everyone

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 8>scene hand. If you try a little kindness, then your

<v Speaker 8>the blinds of the Marimondes. People of the Marimondes seek.

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 8>You've got to try a little kindness. Yes, show a

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.559

<v Speaker 9>Every trial time.

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 8>Of the darlined people, unarolanded.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Sunday Night Crews.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 3>In the Queen of Heart knowing any really fine jogger

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 3>in the Olio.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 1>You do anything.

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Tonight, I'm talking to country music stars Tanya Kernighan and

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.959
<v Speaker 2>Jason Hawen. So, Jason, do you have any musical inspiration

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 2>that comes from other country music stars?

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 4>Mate, absolutely, Well, ten is one of them, you know,

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 4>because you know it is It is t K. And

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 4>you know that because I I've always said, you know,

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 4>it's authentic. It's stories about real life things, mate, It's

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 4>and it's the same with Lee, Troy Cassa, Daily, Adam Harvey,

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 4>you know all of them. It's so authentic. Country music

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 4>is so authentic, and that's not exactly what I love

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 4>about it, Billy, It really is. It tells the story

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 4>as to how it is, mate. And you know, any

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 4>country artist John Denver was obviously ambassive inspiration for me.

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 4>And he wrote a lot about the rocky mountains and

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 4>you know all that type of stuff. But you know

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 4>what I mean, mate, Like it's authentic, isn't it.

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Where does it come from for you?

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 5>Tan?

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Musical inspiration?

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Do I remember growing up around you know, when

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 5>my dad was recording albums and back in the seventies

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 5>and he'd go down to Melbourne, he'd record a full

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 5>album on a six track mixer and we'd bring it

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 5>back home and we'd played in the lounge room and

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 5>all those kids were so excited to hear what dad

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 5>had recorded and it came back. Even before that, we

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 5>were had a little band, my brother Lee, I played

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 5>the piano, Greg my brother played the drums, and my

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 5>sister and I sang and we were called Angels and

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 5>the Blue Devils. And I was about ten years old

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 5>at the time, and we used to go around the

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 5>River Arena around Aubrey where I grew up down south

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 5>and play for the pensioners for their Christmas parties and

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 5>special functions. And you know, it was just in our blood.

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 5>It was in our DNA, and Mum and Dad never said,

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 5>you know, you've got to pursue music. It was just

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 5>something that we just naturally gravitated to.

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Jason, you're both on the road with Let your Love

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Flow too. What can we expect at the concerts?

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 4>A good time, Billy, Yeah, a very very good time, mate,

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 4>like try a little kindless let your Love Flow back

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 4>home again. Are only three songs that are featured in

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 4>the show, but you know, the rest is history. Mate.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 4>Ten performs all her incredible hits, original hits that I

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 4>grew up with and everyone else knows, you know, And

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 4>of course we do songs that we perform online together.

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 4>We've been very lucky to have an incredible following online

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 4>and we take those songs out on Rage as well. Mate.

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>So what are the highlights for you, Tanya? Oh?

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, I love to perform the songs that have really

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 5>built my career. So the first half of the show,

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 5>I go out there and I'll I'll sing you songs

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 5>like Boys in Boots, the Veranda, a Bushman Can't Survive

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 5>on City Lights, all of those songs that for thirty years,

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, that really established my career. And then the

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 5>second and Jason does a similar part in the first

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 5>half of the show, but the second half it's like

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 5>it moves into a whole other gear and the band

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 5>come out with us. We're singing these great songs that

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 5>we've made popular once again through the social media platforms.

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I think Jason sort of always on

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 5>the on the edge a little bit because he never

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 5>knows really what I'm going to say, and half the

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 5>time I don't know what I'm going to say, but

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 5>he's off. It's a lot of fun.

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Like Jay said, Jason, where can we catch you both?

0:16:59.440 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Mate, Look, we're going everywhere this year, Billy, We're in

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 4>We're going to the Central Western New South Wales through July, Ballama,

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, all over the place, mate, Bunderberg.

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, go.

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 4>Ballama. We're all over the place, mate, Thunderburg at the

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Montcreve Theater. We're absolutely everywhere, Ballarat in Victoria, Western Australia.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 2>We're going to.

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 4>Plan everywhere, mate, Yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, Bunderberg, mate montre Theater.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 2>So where can we get tickets?

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 5>Tenure, It's best to just go to the venues. Look

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.879
<v Speaker 5>at our websites, because all the dates are either on

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 5>Jason's or my website, and we're always posting things on

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 5>our Facebook pages and Instagram pages of new dates and

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 5>ticket links and that kind of thing. Billy, But you

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 5>kept saying Sydney, Sydney is something. Where's the best place?

0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 5>Do you reckon playing Sydney for our safe The opera?

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the opera house.

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 5>I'll give him a.

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, chasing the tourist called that Let Your Love Flow.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 2>What was the inspiration for that?

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 4>Mainly because after Back Home Again, Tenure and I released

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 4>a single back Home Again quite a few years ago now,

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 4>but when we join forces again to launch a tour,

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 4>we release let Your Love Flow. You know, the Bellamie

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Brothers classic, and such a great story, made the songs beautiful,

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.879
<v Speaker 4>and to turn it into a duet with Tenure was

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 4>phenomenal for us both. You know, we knew we had

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.120
<v Speaker 4>something magic when we recorded it. But that pretty much

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 4>the success of that song to us. We knew that

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 4>it made people happy, it brought joy to the show, Billy,

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 4>And you know, realistically, we just know that let Your

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Love Flow. When you read that title, you know you

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 4>know exactly what it's about Yeah.

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.880
<v Speaker 2>We better finish up. We'd let your love flow. And

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to think you're both for joining with us

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to God bless you both and come back on again.

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, good on your billy, than you.

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>On your good thank you.

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 6>There's a reason for the sunshine sky, and there's a

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 6>reason one feeling so high must be the seasons when

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 6>that love life shines all around us.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:33.640
<v Speaker 1>So let that.

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Feeling grab your deep be signs, send your reeling we

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:45.159
<v Speaker 3>love jam hide and then go steal less.
