Phoebe Jay is a young country music singer songwriter living around the cane-fields of Bundaberg. This wonderfully talented young Australian singer’s melodic tones and harmonies mix traditional classic country with a twist creating a new and vibrant sound.
Phoebe is an artist with pure talent almost as big as her heart for the care of others. The successful release of her debut single “14 Cents at the Gate”, in support for the Dairy Farmers crisis, projected her into the spotlight, with charting success worldwide, and nationally as an award winning independent.
Having launched her debut EP 'Higher Than This Day', with a national number one single ‘Rollercoaster Ride’, Phoebe now sets out to bring awareness to a new and sometimes difficult issue to speak about, Australian Farmer Suicide.
The release of her next single ‘Free Air’, to help Rural Aid's Suicide Prevention Campaign, features one of the world’s greatest guitarists Tommy Emmanuel. Free Air is a stunning melodic tune that carries the listener to a new place, both empathetic & uplifting, with an almost magical quality. Aly Cook,Partner of Key 2 Artist Promotions, took the track to Tommy’s management and Tommy agreed to play on the track, recording his parts on the song in Nashville, before sending to producer Rob Mackay to create what is a stunning ethereal track.
All Funds raised from the sale of the song will go to Rural Aid’s suicide prevention program …
“Rural Aid’s launching of this suicide awareness campaign with Phoebe Jay as its front face brings forth a major element is the despair that suicide leaves, the forgotten, the friends, and family wondering.
Rural Aid has seen a massive growth in demand on ground and via call to its launch of its mental health program on July 1 2018. The drought affected Qld, NSW, VIC and SA farmers is growing like a sludge across our landscapes and through our minds.
Drought sadly is a slow methodical depressive weather event. Each day we look at the sky and see what we should be so happy to see, a blue sky but for those in drought its fear of what the day brings, feeding stock, trucking water, avoiding telephone calls, not going to town and seeing a friend, it’s isolation on a daily basis.
This suicide awareness campaign is about raising people’s capacity to see the signs and better understand suicide.
We live in a me society today, we’re so caught up in our world we fail to see and understand what our friends and loved ones may be going through. Spending time with, calling or visiting, sharing a drink or meal, taking a friend out for a break away from their normal surroundings, just being there for someone when they needed you the most.
Sadly we can never stop suicide and some of the most brilliant people in the world with networks of friends and the best medical help take their lives.. But if we can save one life it’s a blessing, saving many is gratitude”. - Charles Alder | CEO
