Shea Fisher, Country Music Starlett Shea

Shea Fisher will entertain the crowd on Saturday night. Shea is one of Australia’s rising Country Music Stars and has a firm background in the Australian country lifestyle she sings about. Born in Portland, Victoria to an Australian champion bull and bareback riding father and champion barrel racing mother, Shea grew up in a competitive Rodeo family, travelling throughout Australia and then to the United States. It was her time in America that sparked her interest in country music but not until they returned to Australia did she start singing and performing the National Anthem at rodeos while competing in the Barrel Racing events. After winning several major talent quests and being accepted into the Tamworth Country Music College, she learnt a lot about the art of performing and went on to be a grand finalist in the Gympie Muster Talent search that same year.

Shea continued to perform and support other well know Country Artists throughout 2006 and at the age of 19 released her debut album, titled ‘ Everyday Girl’ in July 2007. Shea’s manager, Tim Holland said at the release ‘Shea is most definitely a star in the making. She brings a really fresh and exciting approach to country music. She’s a country girl at heart with a great story but like other young women from the country these days, she’s very aware of what’s going on around the world and you can see this in the way she conducts herself. She’ll be a great role model for her young fans and she’s a dynamic performer who just keep getting better and better’.
