Tamworth TV is a platform for independent country music performers to reach new fans the world over.
The host is Tamworth’s own golden girl and Golden Guitar Female Artist of the Year Aleyce Simmonds.
“This is such a unique initiative, particularly for emerging artists who are trying to get a foot in the door,” Simmonds said.
“I’m excited to introduce and interview a new artist each fortnight and show the world what Tamworth and the country music scene has to offer.
“It was so much fun filming the pilot and we are over the moon that we’ve been able to facilitate the launch of Tamworth TV and assist in promoting our country music artists.”
Every fortnight Tamworth Regional Council will produce and upload a video clip showcasing touring and local country-music talent to be streamed worldwide.
The brainchild of Tamworth Country Music Festival manager Barry Harley, he’s ecstatic that the community has come together to give a platform to emerging talent.

“Tamworth is well known in Australia as the Country Music Capital and now, slowly but surely, we are making further inroads to promote this great region on the world stage,” he said.
“Our producers will secure the best local talent and the best artists touring, tape them performing a single song live in our studios and post the performance online to be enjoyed by a worldwide audience.”
The pilot episode is available at tamworthtv.com.au, @TamworthTVonline on Facebook or @TamworthTV on Instagram.
