01-07-07

During the month of May, Lee along with his mates Adam Brand, Steve Forde, and a veritable 'who's who' of new country, were hard at work in the studio recording a brand new song called "The Spirit of the Bush".

100% of all profits from this song and video are to be donated to the AUSSIE HELPERS charity that is assisting drought affected farming families across Australia.

The single released on the 30th of June at The Spirit of the Bush Concert for drought stricken farming families that was held in Grenfell, New South Wales. Made possible by the generosity of all artists performing and, with the assistance and support of the New South Wales Government.

The single is available for purchase in music stores nationwide for just $10.00.

Lee said, "The single has huge fundraising potential and I would especially like to acknowledge Adam Brand, Steve Forde, and Joy McKean [Slim Dusty], who have all donated tracks to the single compilation and the most talented team of amazing artists who joined us in the studio for the recording of the title track."

"The hardship that many farmers continue to experience as a result of many years of sustained drought is profound and it is hoped that this song will not only help raise much needed funds for the AUSSIE HELPERS program, but will also be a meaningful tribute of the fighting spirit and mateship that is so much a part of country life today."

The fundraising single also features a 30 minute documentary on the Aussie Helper program witch is included courtesy of Australian Story [ABC-TV].

Another highlight is the inclusion of the Spirit of the Bush music video featuring Lee , Adam, Steve, Aleyce Simmonds, The McClymonts, Sunny Cowgirls, Nick Kingswell, Travis Collins, Kirsty Lee Akers, Shae Fisher, The Davidson Brothers, Dianna Corcoran, Jake Nikolia, and Tania Kernaghan .
