After the success of the Islands in the Stream 2013 tour dates, award-winning country artist Amber Lawrence and label-mate, X-Factor 2012 runner-up, Jason Owen are extending the tour through to 2014. With most of the shows selling out and their duet single – of the same name – climbing up the charts, the two talented performers have already started adding 2014 dates to the tour. The tour, which kicked off in June 2013 and was to initially finish at the end of November, is now being extended into April 2014 and beyond.

Amber and Jason’s youthful interpretation of the Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton is the perfect inspiration behind their joint national tour. It also marked the release of Jason’s debut album Life Is A Highway which debuted at #5 on the ARIA Album chart and #1 on the i-Tunes Country Chart first week out.

It’s both their love of country music and the audiences that have brought them together while both coming from different “islands in the stream”. Amber hails from Sydney and Jason grew up in small town of 12 called Albert in regional NSW. This two-hour show will feature Jason and Amber performing with their touring band, their own hits and songs as well as special duets throughout the show.

Amber is known as one of the hardest working artists in the industry and it has certainly been paying off with 13 single releases all of which have been Top 5 radio favourites including seven #1’s. She has more than 10 awards to her name including the Tamworth Telstra Horizon Award at the 2011 Golden Guitars and was nominated in the Female Artist of the Year category at this year’s Golden Guitars. Amber will perform some of her fan favourites such as Wrecking Ball, Good Girls, Don’t Do Lonely Well, Women Like Me and from her latest album “3”, Everybody’s A Mess, Man Across the Street and Try. Throughout the tour Amber will continue to promote her 3^rd album which saw her fourth single Pretty Little Liar released in August.

At 19 years of age, Life Is A Highway marks the start of a new journey for Jason, who has moved from his small country town to Sydney and is now ready to embrace a full-time career as a recording and performing artist. Life Is A Highway features songs such as Always On My Mind, Against The Wind, If Tomorrow Never Comes, and Sweet Home Alabama to name a few. The album’s collection of songs – which are eclectic in genre – are all connected by the beauty of Jason’s unique voice, and fans will now be able to experience it live.
