5 x CMAA Golden Guitar Winner - Ashleigh Dallas continues to share her storytelling wrapped up in that much loved Country sound.

The Dolly Parton Imagination Library Australia ambassador is eager to continue to grow her foundations in the Country Industry, sharing with her fans stories from the Heart Of Home.
I find playing different instruments connect to the many different creative waves I’m hearing in my mind and bring out different sides to my art and in particular to my songwriting.
Looking forward to diving back into the earlier “catalogue” of music such as Holy Water - curious who has the physical 3 track pink cover single that Holy Water lives on in their music collection?
I recently discovered a few copies, maybe we should bring them along also to the Tamworth Town Hall show. Also who has their tickets?

16 years ago this photo was taken at Sound check for the official opening in Bicentennial Park. The festival stage was in a complete different location that faced directly into the afternoon sun, but do you know what was warmer - the energy of the people who claim their spot first thing in the morning and give so much love back to all the artists that grace the stage. Everytime I’ve since had the opportunity to play on the main Festival stage it’s always a pinch ya self kind of moment - because it’s the dream happening in real time motion.
This coming TCMF 2026 I’m very humbled to be asked once again to bring my songs to the Opening Night celebrations. So Tamworth Locals, my past hairdressing clients, my old school teachers and every single visitor to the region - bring your comfy chairs, your picnic rug and energy & mark Friday 16th January the place to be is “Toyota Park” for a great celebration that it once again is Tamworth Country Music Festival Time!!
A great evening spent in Tamworth at Country Connect held in the beautiful store of @s.kidman.tamworth - talking all things @tcmf_official!
The Tamworth festival has been a part of my up bringing, believing that every family held concerts in their own backyard, that every family played gigs at The Pub and falling asleep at shows while your Dad played guitar on stage was a normal way for bedtime.
A huge part of my own society and culture, family legacy and identity. But I now stand a woman with a family of my own, and a lot of time connecting & understanding my own self, I can’t wait to keep sharing my story and way of creativity & artistry in my own hometown & what a honour to now be a songwriter playing the iconic Tamworth Town Hall during the massive 10 day festival.
Really lovely to catch up with Barry Harley and Lawrie Minson tonight, and of course I couldn’t pass an opportunity for the @tamworthcitytoyota to Drive The Feeling past the Big Golden Guitar! Curiously - Does Any one know how tall the Big Golden Guitar is?
Sometimes you just have to trust the process and take the leap into the changes and into the unknown.
Hold out your hand and hope someone reaches on back to keep walking forward while still being slow enough in your step to take in what is happening around.
Oh I can’t wait to share what’s being built, and as I hold out my hand during it all I hope you are going to join me on the ride..
It’s got me thinking though, what album or song of mine was the first one you listened too?
Not only is Christmas around the corner, but it is Tamworth Country Music Festival! Big shout out of thanks and gratitude to @thecontamworth presenters of our Wednesday 21st Jan 2026 show at the Tamworth Town Hall show with big gratitude of support to @tamworthcitytoyota and @pratleyguitars and the gorgeous creative soul of @lucindacatherinephotography for the photo too. Streets of tamworth look out posters are hitting the town, and we can’t wait to share the new show with you!
Song: Brad Butcher Arrows Of Time - song of pure and connection. When music translates to more than a feeling.
Back on 2340 ground, with @thecontamworth Choir rehearsals and our Songwriting sessions too - the highway driving with @tamworthcitytoyota - all leads to @tcmf_official
