Country Music’s Most Prestigious Awards
Celebrated Trio Wins “Country Album of the Year,”
Golden Guitars and Welcomes New Addition
TN (February 4, 2013) – The McClymonts have received the two most
prestigious awards in Australian Country Music. They’ve been awarded
the “ARIA Country Album of the Year” by the Australian Recording
Industry Association. This honor was followed by winning the Golden
Guitar for the “Highest Selling Australian Album” at the Australian
Country Music Awards.
“Winning
the highest selling album of the year is so gratifying for us. We just
want to thank our fans who gave us this award by making Two Worlds Collide the biggest-selling Australian album of the year,” says Mollie McClymont.
“A very special thanks goes to our 3 producers on this album, Peter
Asher, Luke Wooten, and Nathan Chapman. All three of you are amazing and
such a pleasure to work with. We feel so lucky to have had you
gentlemen on our team,” adds Samantha McClymont.
The McClymonts also took home the Golden Guitar for “Video of the Year” for their single, “Piece of Me” from their current Australian album, Two Worlds Collide. “Piece of Me” is the celebrated group’s seventh #1 single in a row from their last 2 albums, Wrapped up Good and Two Worlds Collide.
The latest album by the acclaimed sisters has not yet been released
in the U.S. But, the group’s management team is optimistic about
discussions planned with record labels during their return to Nashville
this month.
After touring North America over the last 3 summers as independent
artists on their own label, The McClymonts have their sights set on
following fellow Australian Keith Urban into the U.S. market and working
with a major label.
Many Music City insiders predict that Australia’s most successful
country group definitely has what it takes to pick up where The Dixie
Chicks left off. Their soaring harmonies and electrifying stage show has
impressed many promoters, reporters, and country stars over the last
few summers while performing throughout the U.S.
Brooke McClymont, the group’s lead singer, recently gave birth to
her first child, a beautiful baby girl named Tiggy Heart. “This baby is
going to be a road baby. My sisters are already fighting over who will
be the favorite aunty. So, I have no problem with getting plenty of help
on the road with Tiggy,” she says.
