Country Music’s golden girl to wow club crowd

GINA Jeffreys burst onto the Australian Country Music scene taking over the reins as the new ‘Star Maker’ winner from Keith Urban at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in 1991 and will serve up her first originals album in 12 years this Friday at Bankstown Sports Club.

Soon becoming Australian Country Music’s golden girl, Gina went on to become a household name – regularly appearing on hit TV shows like Hey Hey it’s Saturday and The Midday Show and touring Australia with music greats like Lee Kernaghan, Kenny Rogers, Guy Sebastian, Kris Kristofferson and the most famous of all – the legendary Johnny Cash.  In 1994, Gina literally went from singing to five people a night in a dimly lit Sydney wine bar to opening for the man in black to 15,000 people a night.
This quickly propelled her into the spotlight and the rest, as they say, is history.
She went on to become Australia’s first ever female country artist to sell platinum albums and sellout shows across Australia and took her music all over the world.
To say a lot has happened in Gina’s life since she last stood under the spotlight would be an understatement and the fastest way for you to catch up would be to listen to the lyrics on Gina’s long awaited new album ‘Beautiful Tangle’ with club fans in for a treat,
“I’ve written every single song with some great writers – and every song is a page out of my life,” she said.
