Kevin to retire.
Keven has been an entertainer for many years and appeared to perform his songs over the years. Kevin who also has been singing at the Hamilton Country Music Club for many years however at our last event and with deep regret informed us that he will no longer be singing as a walk up artist due to his current health. The songs that he sang to us were with so much passion that he caused a few tears to be shed in the audience but it was an outstanding performance which he has always delivered. Thanks for the songs Kevin and we wish you well for the future.
Guest Artist : The talented Leah Mahney
🎤 Introducing Our November Guest Artist: Leah Mahney!
The Hamilton Country Music Club is thrilled to welcome Geelong’s own Leah Mahney as our guest artist for our upcoming club afternoon on Sunday, 22 November.
With a voice described as "clear as a Southern sunrise" and a warm, inviting stage presence to match, Leah brings genuine heart and soul to every country song she performs. Known for her effortless vocal finesse, she delivers a captivating mix of classic country staples, heartfelt ballads, and toe-tapping favorites.
Leah’s musical journey began in 2014 as part of the local country trio AVALON, turning heads across the region with their rich three-part harmonies and authentic country sound. Over the years, she has extensively refined her stagecraft in various duo and trio settings, establishing herself as an audience favorite. In 2019, she further cemented her status in the Victorian music scene by becoming the founding member and powerhouse lead vocalist for the popular Geelong cover band, The LEAjETS.
A true testament to her talent, Leah was named the Walk-Up Winner at the Kyabram RV Country Music Festival, landing her a coveted guest spot on their main stage.
More recently, she returned from an incredibly inspiring trip to Nashville, Tennessee—a pilgrimage that heavily deepened her connection to country music storytelling and injected fresh energy into her live repertoire.
Whether she’s channeling classic country greats or delivering contemporary favourites, Leah’s pure passion for the genre shines through every note.
Come along to the Hamilton Racecourse on Sunday, 22 November to give Leah a massive Western District welcome! Doors open at 12:00 PM for an unforgettable afternoon of live music, walk-up artists, great food, and fantastic company.

Ann Marie Rochford : Guest artist - September 27th 2026
Guest Artist Announcement: Ann Marie!
We are proud to announce that Ann Marie will be our featured guest artist for our upcoming club meeting on Sunday, 27 September 2026...
Anne Marie is a fantastic, grassroots Australian independent country music artist who frequently performs on the regional country music club and walk-up circuit across Victoria and South Australia. Because she focuses her career entirely on live community club shows and regional festivals rather than mainstream commercial radio, she is a true champion of local live music.
What she brings to our stage comes from a deep love for the genre:
- The Regional Club Circuit: Anne Marie has built a reputation as a highly reliable, crowd-pleasing performer across Victorian country music clubs, including recurring appearances right here at the Hamilton Country Music Club.
- Classic Country Focus: In her sets, she delivers a wonderful blend of classic, traditional country covers and beloved pub-rock/country standards. Her style leans beautifully toward the storytelling roots of Australian and American traditional country music.
- Supporting the Walk-Up Community: Beyond being our featured guest artist, she is widely known in the music community for supporting fellow local musicians, participating in acoustic collaborations, and assisting with the organisation of community music gatherings.
- Calling All Walk-Up Performers!As always, our afternoon celebrates our local talent. If you would like to jump up and perform a song or two with the backing band, please register your name at the front desk upon arrival. We love supporting our walk-up community and can't wait to see you take the stage!
