BIOGRAPHY
"Few bands have ‘chart success’ written all over them like Jetty Road." Canterbury News, UK

“Jetty Road are going to be big.” Ray Hadley, 2GB, AUSTRALIA
“As good as anything that has come out of the US.” Deb Minter, Capital News, AUSTRALIA
“Even better live, quite breathtaking in all honesty.” Chris Jackson, International Americana Festival, UK
Its comments like these that confirm why Jetty Road have been embraced by audience’s world wide. Twin sisters Lee and Paula, Julian and Simon make up the talented outfit; theirmusic being described as ‘a tapestry of rock, pop and country, with a hint of folk.’ Imagine The Corrs, Fleetwood Mac and The Dixie Chicks with a unique Australian edge.
With numerous successes on both radio and CMC to their name, including recent hits Real Smooth Cowboy, I Wanna Go Home and the #1 smash hit City Lights, Jetty Road have gone from strength to strength.

They were the only Australian artists to ever appear at the festival, performing alongside American country superstar Alan Jackson, Lonestar, and 2008 Grammy Award winners Emerson Drive to rave reviews.
A ground breaking year for the group, 2008 saw Jetty Road achieve a Golden Guitar Award finalist nomination, claim Best Live Act honours in Tamworth, the TIARA Award forBest Group as well as the coveted Victorian Album of the Year award at the Victorian and National Country Music Awards. Jetty Road had a stunning start to 2009 at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, winning the Australian Country Music People’s Choice Award for Best Group as well as back to back TIARA Award honours.
Audiences both here and abroad are lapping up their unique musical style.With successful tours to the U.S, Canada, France and the UK under their belts, and the release of their highly anticipated third album Life at a Million Miles in March 2009, its clear to see why Jetty Road are regarded as one of Australia's premier acts.
