It is the first time the two – who have both won Female Artist of the Year Golden Guitars – have toured together, and with Fanny Lumsden opening the show, the three artists have already been to the Hunter Valley and Tasmania.
“We’ve been having a ball out on the road, us girls. They’re both really good friends of mine, I love Amber and Fanny is my new favourite artist, so I’m pretty excited to be out on the road with them,” Catherine told Talkin’ Country this week.
The tour comes after Catherine and Fanny lent their voices to Cheers to The Girls, a song on Amber’s current album, Happy Ever After.
“Me and Amber have been friends for a long time,” Catherine said.
“We’ve never been on tour together before, but we’ve jumped up on each other’s shows and always been really supportive of each other.”
So where did the Love & Lies name come from for the tour?
“We thought about our songs, and basically the majority of our songs are about love or lies, so that’s how we went with it,” Catherine explained.
Fanny opens the show for half an hour, before Amber and Catherine play their sets, which includes a few duets, before a big finale with all three artists.
“It’s a lot of fun. It’s a one-off show, we’ve been getting a lot of people out to the shows and they seem to be enjoying it, so that’s a nice feeling.”
The tour will come to a close at the Hats Off to Tamworth in July, where they play at West Tamworth Leagues Club on July 8. “It’s going to be a pretty special gig,” Catherine said.
It’ll be sad, but it’ll be a nice finale to finish it in Tamworth.

“It’ll be sad, but it’ll be a nice finale to finish it in Tamworth. It makes sense.”
Following her battle with cancer, Catherine said she was now feeling good again, describing herself as healthy and happy.
“I don’t know if it ever fully gets back to normal, but that’s a good thing.
“It shakes you up, changes your life and makes you live every day as best you can,” she said.
