“Stories To Tell” local launch in Mackay for Lana Ross at newest country music venue, and plans September mini-tour.

Queenslander Lana Ross is extremely happy with the radio response she has received from her first single Heaven’s Park to radio through NfS distribution. The singer/songwriter launched her CD Stories To Tell, locally at one of Mackay’s newest country music venues in June. It was standing room only for the debut album launch at Outback 2 Reef the newest venue for country music in Mackay. Fans, friends and family, as well as local radio and media representatives were keen to show their support for their talented new singer/songwriter. It was a very close and personal afternoon with Lana as she shared the stories behind the songs and the journey of how the album has unfolded. There were tears and ovations from her audience as she sang the beautiful self penned song Heaven’s Park - a truly special afternoon for Lana and one that her fans are unlikely to forget.The launch was a prelude to Tamworth for Hats Off in July. Lana appeared at Butlers Auditorium at what has become one of most successful January & July inclusions on the LBS program – LBS Morning Tea. She also appeared at the Southgate Inn for the Shirley Thoms Fundraiser for Bronze Bust courtesy of organizer Lorraine Pfitzner. It’s home now to Mackay and preparation for a touring schedule which will take her back to NSW and inland to southern central Queensland.
