MARK TEMPANY. ALISON HAMS...................................................................
A powerful combination............................................................................
. . .
Since 2004 Mark Tempany and Alison Hams have established themselves as one of the finest duo combinations in Australian country music.
. . .
Both Alison and Mark share long and stellar solo careers - each having been Star Maker Grand Finalists, each having released several highly successful independent albums, and each having built a strong following through their touring to events like Tamworth and Mildura Country Music Festivals since the early 1990's.
. . .
Mark has several Top 10 radio hits and a Golden Guitar nomination to his name, has at times dominated awards like the QRA Sunnies (Queensland's annual Professional Recording Awards) and been a runner-up in the major Unisong International Song Contest. He also won the prestigious Coopers Golden Saddle Award in Sydney in 2004. Alison has won the UK Songwriting Competition, a SAMI award (South Australian Music Industry Award) for Best Country Release, and been a recipient of a regional SA Great Award for the Arts in her home state of South Australia.
. . .
With their individual flare for songwriting, musicianship, and vocal performance - it is no wonder Mark & Alison have become such a formidable combination since joining forces. While still retaining some degree of their solo identities, the duo now generally work together to give audiences a unique and brilliant performance - their togetherness continuing off-stage since their marriage in 2005. The duo have performed in every state of Australia and in New Zealand - with Mark and Alison's solo touring over the years extending to Canada, USA, UK, France, Belgium and Holland.
. . .
In 2006 Alison and Mark were support act for UK superstar Charlie Landsborough on his Australian tour, and between them they have worked with dozens of major music industry names including James Blundell, Kate Ceberano and Lee Kernaghan. Mark has participated in fine collaborations with multiple Golden Guitar Finalist Vanya, Pat Drummond - and the late bush poet extraordinaire, Bobby Miller.
. . .
Alison has recently co-written "Finally Home" with Gina Jeffreys and Mark Drilling, has been a regular event backing band member for the South Australian "Champion of Champions", the SA Council for Country Music Showcase and the South Australian Country Music Awards. She is a graduate of the elite Australian College of Country Music - and both Mark and Alison were inducted into the South Australian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
. . .
May 2008 sees the duo's first performance trip to Western Australia in advance of their intended new album together - due for release in 2009.

Drop by and listen to "The King and I" at the top of the play list. Judy DeRamus with The Jordanaires a few years back recorded "The King And I". The song went #1 in the national charts. Judy was given a #1 party at the SESAC building on 16th Ave. Nashville, TN. There Judy and The Jordanaires were honored with several recognitions from the music industry and the Governor of Tennessee. Nashville Gospel
