PREVIEW OF EPISODE 6


JOSH ARNOLD GALVANISES NU COUNTRY TV

 

Josh Arnold has perfect credentials for a country singer - he's the fourth generation of a farming family on the famed Darling Downs in Queensland.

Josh was raised on the family sheep farm at Waitara between Chinchilla and Tara west of Toowoomba.

So when he sings about his grandfather and other farming characters on his debut ABC Music CD, 'Galvanize' in 2001, he's drawing from his own heritage.

But it's the title track of second CD Scarifier that kicks off Nu Country TV on Saturday November 8.
