Country singer songwriter and damn good bloke Adam Harvey chat's to FAB FM's Paul Makin about his brand new album 'Songs From Highway One' and the beautiful and emotional song he wrote about his late father Les, who died of cancer. It took a lot to pen something as personal as this, but the result is a touching tribute to a man who loved the beautiful Whitsundays. Adam admits he couldn't do it on his own so he asked for help from Queensland's foremost balladeer and together they re-traced his Dad's footsteps and even went aboard the same boat Les used to work on. This is a once in a lifetime chat with one of Australia's truly great entertainers. BUT a warning, take a tissue to this interview. https://adamharvey.com.au/

Jason Owen was raised in Albert, NSW, a town that once had a population of 12. Jason wanted to break out and was the runner-up to Samantha Jade on the fourth season of The X Factor Australia in 2012 and subsequently received a recording contract.
