Amber Lawrence The Kid's Gone Country II

Award-winning country singer, Amber Lawrence, is back with new music for kids and big kids at heart. In fact, Amber's new kids' album The Kid's Gone Country II – Fun for All the Family is perfect for summer-time fun and is one that will have the whole family singing along!

The collection is the third installment in Amber's catalogue of children's music - The Kid's Gone Country - which included the viral hit song 'My Big Mack Truck' and Aussie Aussie Christmas.

It's an album full of fun, and catchy tunes about country life, animals, adventurous and sometimes mischievous children, inner beauty, fun in the sun, dirt, drought, and plenty more. This time around, Amber's two-year-old son, Ike, was the inspiration for many of the songs – including the outdoorsy 'Ike's Gone Hiking' and 'Ike's Bike (Ride a Bike)'.

The first single to be released from the 18-track album is an energetic country/punk song called 'We Live in a Zoo'. How many times have you heard the expression 'this place is a zoo!' when talking about a messy house?

Well Amber has turned that idea into a song (and fun video) about an imaginative, crazy household where giraffes, penguins, meerkats and hippos live happily together under one roof. It's cheeky and is a favourite amongst the kids who have already had a listen to the track.

The Kid's Gone Country II – Fun for All the Family is the perfect album to accompany this summer's family road trips, country holidays, vacations by the beach and favourite caravan park holiday. Quite simply it's a hoot!

MORE ABOUT AMBER LAWRENCE
Amber Lawrence is a four-time Golden Guitar winning Australian singer-songwriter who captures the nation's attention and heart with her uplifting songs of self-belief, love, family and ordinary Australians.

Whilst many musicians and artists stagnated through 2020 due to the effects of COVID-19 shutdowns, Amber's creativity thrived. She launched her ARIA Number 2 charting DVD – Amber Lawrence Live, collaborated on three separate releases, including the successful re-imagination of True Blue alongside Aleyce Simmonds, Dianna Corcoran and Kirsty Lee Akers, and has now released her third children's album 'The Kid's Gone Country II – Fun for All the Family'.

In 2019 Amber launched her sixth studio album, Spark – which saw her nominated for CMAA Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year. It was also the second highest selling country album for 2019 (behind Lee Kernaghan).

In 2018 she took home three of the most prestigious Golden Guitar awards at the CMAA Golden Guitar Awards, APRA Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the year, for the song 'Our Backyard' - a collaboration with Travis Collins.

A former Qantas Airways employee, and chartered accountant, Amber risked it all in 2008 to pursue a career in music. The risk paid off in 2015 when Amber was awarded the iconic and prestigious 'Female Artist of the Year' award for her song 'Superhero', at the 2015 CMAA Golden Guitar awards – the highest accolade for country music in Australia.

This was quickly followed up with the Country Music Channel's 2015 'Female Artist of the Year' Award. It was the first time in history that an artist has won both awards in one year. In 2017, Amber was asked by the American Australian Association to perform in New York to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea. Amber performed the anthemic song '100 Year Handshake' in front of dignitaries and celebrities including President Donald Trump, then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey, John Travolta and hundreds more. Amber wrote and recorded the commemorative song '100 Year Handshake' especially for the event.
