After
a stint playing at Mataranka NT in 2021, meeting both visitors and
locals, Virginia (of COAD SISTERS) felt inspired to write a driving
upbeat, good time song to try capture the lifestyle vibe of living
in the NT.
Virginia features on lead vocals and
lead guitar solos, with Lynette on harmonies, bass and drums.
COAD SISTERS will be returning to
Mataranka to play through June/July 2022. Lyrics included with track

--------------
Peter
Coad OAM - Long Way Round (P.Coad)
Written by Peter Coad, ‘Long Way Round’ is from a forthcoming
album.
Peter says, “The idea came about when I travelled the ‘Long
Way Round’ from Hawker down to Quorn in South Australia via
a seldom used dirt road which takes you through station country
west of the Flinders Ranges and the bitumen road, and would have
been a main access for folks travelling north.
I passed the grave of pioneer Hugh Proby, and I drove through a
onetime thriving farming community now just abandoned farm houses,
and old machinery left to fade into time.
The rusty gates I opened along the road had seen both people and
history come and go on the ‘Long Way Round’.”

PETER COAD OAM - LONG WAY ROUND
--------------
COAD
SISTERS - Big Red (V. Hermel)
Written by Virginia Hermel (of the COAD SISTERS) ‘Big Red’
is a song about one of Australia's racing legends, Phar Lap.
"We had a framed colour photo of Phar Lap on the wall at home."
Virginia said. “I was inspired to write the song when I recently
saw our photo of Phar Lap again, and realised 2022 was the 90 year
anniversary of his death.
'Big Red' was one of the favourite nicknames by which Phar Lap was
known, so that seemed a logical song title.
Little did I think as a child that so many years later that photo
would lead to me writing a song about Phar Lap.”
'Big Red' is another single from a forthcoming album for COAD SISTERS.

'Land
Of Acacia' - Coad Sisters
'Land Of Acacia' is the first single from a forthcoming album for
Coad Sisters.
Fulltime in music for over 30 years the two sisters continue to
present their unique blend of traditional style Country and Aussie
story ballads from covers to originals on their albums.
Coad Sisters last album ‘The Journey’ featured many
award wins and finalists with their original material.
'Land of Acacia' written by Virginia Coad of Coad Sisters, is a
gentle ballad which showcases Coad Sisters vocal harmonies, and
lyrically relates to the sisters’ home area of the Flinders
Ranges, SA, in particular, the desert country in the far north of
SA where they spent their childhood, 'In the Land of Acacia, (and
wild Desert Rose').
