I hope that you are all keeping nice and warm on these chilly days!!
I have been so busy with my shows and my family that I haven't had a chance to sit down and write to you until now.
My little 18 year old dog Mitzy passed away a couple of weeks ago which hit me very hard and I'm still trying to come to terms with it. She was such a sweet little thing:)
On a happier note I became a Grandmother....that sounds so weird:) My son Jon and daughter-in-law Anna had a beautiful little boy called James on Friday June 25th. I would like to let you know that I was only one when I had my son ha ha!
My new single "Rockin' with the Rhythm of The Rain" will be out in a couple of weeks so please request it on your favourite country Radio Station!!
Saturday 6th – Latrobe Valley Country Music Festival VIC with The Wolverines, Carter& Carter, Darren Colston, Amber Joy Poulton, Rick Bartlett, Evan Platschinda, Jetty Road, and Ruckus,
"KEL-ANNE BRANDT might be tiny but her brand new CD I’m A Big Girl Now puts the bubbly performer right up there with the big guns of Australian country Top quality This is a very enjoyable album, sure to win Kel-Anne even more fans. " — Deborah Minter, Capital News Magazine
A lot has happened since I last spoke to you. I have had some wonderful shows and have been to some amazing places.In April I was flown to Papua New Guinea where I embarked on the Sun Princess to perform. We had a traumatic 2 day journey to get to the ship, but once we were on it we had a great time and the shows were fantastic.
I just got back from New Zealand where I performed in the "Bay Of IslandsCountry Rock Festival". The band that backed me, led by Wendy Thornton was amazing.They learnt all my songs and did the most beautiful harmonies.The shows were fantastic and the crowds were wonderful. I thoroughly recommend going to the festival!
Natalieand I have had a couple of "The Brandts" gigs and have many more to come this year. Natalie is getting a great response from Radio and the Industry for her new EP.
Happy New Year! I hope that you all had a Great Christmas and New Year! I sure did and now I’m on an exercise program to get fit and slim for 2010.
