THE DISTANCE BIO INFO (also playing at Redhill)

There’s something to be said about the ‘company we keep’. On the long and winding road of a constantly traveling country rock band it’s always nice to be among good friends. That's exactly how The Distance have rolled from day one. The band has known each other most of their lives, and it is this chemistry and trust that makes The Distance one of the most invigorating and fresh acts on the Oz country rock scene today. From large outdoor festivals to the corner of smokey bars, the Distance have that uncanny knack of making any stage their own. This is a band that not only has something to say, but has a live show designed to take their listeners on a journey.

Their self titled debut album set the band in it’s stride, spawning 3 radio singles and also 3 supporting video clips, all receiving high rotation on Foxtel's Country Music Channel. The weight of that first album alone was enough to get the guys 8 shows at the 2006 Tamworth Country Music Festival. The band toured the east coast of Australia in support of the album, finishing up in QLD with two shows at the Mud, Bulls and Music festival. The album was a finalist in 3 categories at the Vic CM awards with nominations for best album, song and vocal
