COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA INC RELEASE IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE BOOMING GENRE

 

Download:    Executive Summary    Key Findings    Full Report

 

Twenty years after it conducted the first study into country music in Australia, the Country Music Association of Australia Inc has released an in-depth update – ‘The Economic and Cultural Value of Country Music in Australia 2018’.

The report is the result of nine months of industry research including detailed responses from 4,329 country music fans and 582 artists. The key findings reveal that the genre is in robust health and experiencing sustained growth which has seen the sector double in value to a conservative $574 million since 1997.

The Country Music Association of Australia is saddened and shocked by the passing this week of one of our most beloved sons, Glen Hannah.
 
Glen was truly one-of-a-kind. Not only was he a gifted multi-instrumentalist, he was an exceptional artist in every sense of the word: with incredible talents as a photographer, graphic artist and producer.  Most of all he was a devoted husband and father and a friend and inspiration to so many.
