Gina Jeffreys - An afternoon of Country Magic

Multi award winning Country Music Queen Gina Jeffreys paved the way for the future of women in Australian Country Music in the 90's, being the first female in the history of Aussie Country to achieve platinum record sales and sell out shows across the nation. After bursting on to the scene in 1991, when she won the iconic Starmaker (previous winners –Keith Urban, Lee Kernaghan, James Blundell) Gina quickly became the face of Australian country music. In 1994, she opened for Johnny Cash on a National tour winning the hearts of Australia. From this moment on, things really changed for Gina. She went from singing to three or four people in a dimly lit Sydney wine bar to standing in front of 15,000 people a night before Johnny came out. Touring with Johnny at such a young age taught Gina so much. Just to stand on the side of the stage every night and watch how he touched people's hearts changed her. Hit songs like Girls Night Out became the anthem for country girls all over Australia, and Gina had countless number one songs over her career.
