Fresh from playing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival last week, country music super star, singer-songwriter Kasey Chambers, played to a packed Cobar audience at the Cobar Bowling & Golf Club on Saturday night.
Cobar was one of a long list of venues Kasey is performing at on her current tour to promote her latest album, ‘Campfire’.
Along with playing her new songs from her 12th album, Kasey also played some of her earlier hits, including crowd favourite, Not Pretty Enough, which became a number-one hit on the Australian ARIA music charts in 2002.
Cobar Bowling & Golf Club secretary/manager Jason Howell was thrilled to welcome the multi-award winning performer to Cobar and said he found her to be “really down-to-earth”.
Jason said she charmed the crowd even before she got up on stage to perform.
“Kasey spent time with our VIP ticket holders, chatting with them and taking photos,” he said.
“It was great to see a big crowd on Saturday.
“The VIP tickets for the three course dinner for 100 sold out quickly and we had to bring in extra seats once we opened up for general admission,” Jason said.
“The night had a really great vibe and it was wonderful to be able to bring this sort of experience to Cobar.”
And when Kasey did get up to play, she got a rousing “Welcome to Cobar” from the audience.
Kasey said it wasn’t her first time playing in Cobar and that she’d been here on a number of occasions playing as a teenager with her family band, The Dead Ringer Band.
“Sometimes it was to audiences of two or three … people,” Kasey joked.
It was however a different story on Saturday night as she played to a capacity crowd.
