Eckersley and McClymont team up

IT WAS always going to be special when two of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters announced they were teaming up to release their first ever album together.

Country artists, and husband and wife duo, Adam Eckersley and Brooke McClymont, recently released their debut album Adam & Brooke, charting #1 on the ARIA Country Album chart and Top 20 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

The self-produced, 10-track album has been praised by fans and critics alike.

The five-month long Highway Sky Tour is taking the duo across the nation and they’ll be playing at the Highfields Tavern on Saturday, May 19.

They are taking some of the brightest emerging talent on the road with them with Blake O’Connor opening for them.

“Most of these shows are Brooke and I with a couple of acoustic guitars, a stomp box and a bunch of stories and songs.” Eckersley said.

“It’s so much fun and we’ve got a great bunch of artists joining us, I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing.”

Eckersley has won two Golden Guitar Awards; the first in 2015 for New Talent of the Year and then in 2016 for Group or Duo of the Year for his group the Adam Eckersley Band.

Their debut album The First Album debuted Top 5 on ARIA Country Chart with The Second Album debuting #7 on the ARIA Country Chart.

Adam was also recognised for his songwriting winning the APRA Award for Country Work of the Year for Give Her the World in 2015 and first place in the country section of the International Songwriting Competition in 2014.

Brooke McClymont is one third of top-selling, multi-award winning trio The McClymonts.

They have released twenty singles over the last decade including number one hits such as House, Don’t Wish It All Away, Forever Begins Tonight, Here’s To You & I, Wrapped Up Good, Kick It Up, Two Worlds Collide and My Life Again.
