Catherine features on television in Australia a number of times this week.  Firstly, on this Sunday 19th Oct the ARIA Awards will be broadcast on Channel 10 at 7:30pm.  Catherine is a finalist in the Country Album of the Year category and will attend the event accompanied by her mother, Anne.  Catherine will appear in a stunning dress provided by Cue Fashions so let's hope we see her on the red carpet.

The long awaited episode of Rockwiz also airs this week on Saturday 25th October at 9:20pm.  Catherine guests with NZ/Aussie Rock Legend Max Merritt.  Max is in stunning form and the duet with Catherine is sensational!  Also appearing as a contestant on the show are: her father, Steve, on the opposite team to Catherine; and on Catherine's team Mark "Rainman" Boerebach.  Mark is from Sydney and has Asperger's syndrome and a vision disability.  A documentary has been made on Mark's appearance on Rockwiz and will be shown on SBS this Wednesday 22nd October at 8pm.  The Rockwiz episode is featured in this documentary called "Rainman Goes To Rockwiz".

Meanwhile in the US Kellie Pickler's self titled album which includes Catherine's song Lucky Girl is currently the Number 1 Country album on Billboard.

Two songs from Catherine's current album Little Wildflower have been covered by US country artists.  Both songs were co-written by Catherine and open new doors for her as an artist.
Kellie Pickler's new self-titled major label release (Sept 30) includes her version of Catherine's current Australian hit Lucky Girl.  The song was written by Catherine and her producer Brett Beavers with Tony Martin.  Catherine's song Not Your Cinderella was also shortlisted for this album but did not make the final cut this time.
Cowriter Rory Lee Feek and his wife Joey Martin Feek have recorded Sweet Emmylou for their Sugar Hill release The Life Of A Song (Oct 30).  Catherine wrote the song with Rory and released it as a hidden track on her album.

Meanwhile in Australia, Sinead Burgess's EP will be released shortly on ABC Records and contains a song written by her and Catherine called Happy Ever After.  At this stage it is likely to be the single from the EP.
