2012 runner-up, Jason owen join together for
the islands in the stream tour, the title of their
duet single released last month. their youthful
interpretation of this all-time classic by Kenny rogers and
Dolly parton is the perfect inspiration behind their joint
national tour. it also marks the release of Jason's debut
album life is a Highway which debuted at #5 on the aria
album chart and #1 on the itunes country chart first week
out. it's both their love of country music and the audiences
that have brought them together while both coming from
different "islands in the stream". amber hails from sydney

regional nsW. this two-hour show will feature Jason and
amber performing with their touring band, their own hits
and songs as well as special duets throughout the show.

in the industry and it has certainly been paying off with
13 single releases all of which have been top 5 radio
favourites including seven #1's. she has more than 10
awards to her name including the tamworth telstra
Horizon award at the 2011 Golden Guitars and was

start of a new journey for Jason, who has moved from his
small country town to sydney and is now ready to embrace
a full-time career as a recording and performing artist. life
is a Highway features songs such as always on my mind,
against the Wind, if tomorrow never comes, and sweet
Home alabama to name a few. the album's collection of
songs - which are eclectic in genre - are all connected by
the beauty of Jason's unique voice, and fans will now be
able to experience it live.
