Noosa’s Sari Abbott can’t put a foot wrong this year, adding to her achievements, snagging a top five spot in a Tamworth Country Music Festival talent search.
Sari, who won The Ekka Country Showdown presented by Ringers Western Open section netting a scholarship to the prestigious Academy senior course in Tamworth, has been named as a finalist in the 2TM Discovered competition.
“I am so excited to be a 2TM Radio Discovered for the very first time and looking forward to co-hosting with Monte on the show! I’m a bit of a chatterbox, so hopefully he doesn’t pull the pin on me,” Sari laughed.
“It’s going to be a very busy month in January as I’m also attending the Academy of Country Music from 3 January and merging straight into the 51st Tamworth Country Music Festival.”
Sari joins fellow finalists Jess Holbrook, Mackenzie Lee, Beth Lucas and Georgie Durr to perform at the 2TM Discovered concert at Centrepoint Tamworth on Friday 20 January from 10am.
The five 2TM Discovered finalists will perform in front of a panel of judges including Golden Guitar winner Aleyce Simmonds, Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson and 2TM Program Director, Jarrad Brooke.
2TM Breakfast Announcer, Monte, will host the 2TM Discovered concert and the winner receives $500 cash to spend at Centrepoint Tamworth and 2TM will present the winner with a beautiful trophy.
The winner will also be considered for airplay on 1287 2TM.
2TM General Manager, Nikki Kenwrick said it was important to continue 2TM’s history of nurturing talent through the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Sari released her third single, Too Much Space, on 8 August prior to her performances at the Gympie Music Muster where she was a finalist in the NAB Talent Search.
