ABOUT
The year started with a bang for Courtney Keil, being crowned the ‘Best Female Vocal’ at the 2024 Australian Country Music People’s Choice Awards for the second year in a row at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. She played her debut headline show ‘Fierce & Fearless Tour’ at Moonshiners Bar, Tamworth, was special guest performer at the Tamworth Opry, opened the show for Adam Harvey at Blazes Showroom and continued to shine as June Carter in ‘Johnny Cash The Concert’ tour.
Her debut album ‘The Good Kind’, released in February 2023, debuted as the #1 Australian album on the iTunes Country Australia chart which included four of her #1 iTunes Country singles. The album is packed with brilliantly talented musicians and has been produced once again by award winning producer and multi-instrumentalist Rod McCormack, the Music Cellar.
The past two years have been packed, performing with notable artists including Gina Jeffreys, Tania Kernaghan, Karise Eden, Max Jackson, Andrew Swift and The Whitlams nationally and on ‘Cruisin Country’ aboard the Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas. With performances on Channel 7 ‘Good Friday Appeal’ / ‘Kids Day Out 2023’, Courtney is no stranger to this arena, previously on 7 Network / Fox Sports Supercars Championship, at Bathurst and Supercars Championship at Sandown performing the National Anthem and likewise at the NBL Grand Final Re-Match aired on 10 Play / Foxtel.
Courtney Keil brings us superb vocal depth, passion and authenticity in each of her releases and continues to collaborate with eminent Nashville songsmiths including Sally Barris (Trisha Yearwood / Keith Urban), Sam Gay (Deric Ruttan / Little Texas) and Templeton Thompson (Reba McEntire / Jo Dee Messina) to build her collection of standout pieces that speak of endurance, sentiment and courage.
As 2024 continues, more exciting opportunities for Courtney have risen including support for Karise Eden and Brian Cadd at their respective shows at Avoca Beach Theatre, release of ‘All About You’ peaking at #28 on the Countrytown Hot 50 chart. In June, Courtney unveiled ‘Worn In’, a beautiful duet featuring vocals with Platinum Selling, Multi Golden Guitar Winner Gina Jeffreys. Her latest release is a heartfelt tribute to her Grandfather, sharing stories of his youth, during Australia’s Jubilee year of 1951.
