On the evening of Thursday August 2, some of Australia's hottest country music stars will be performing for Jamm 4 Genes, the music event in support of Jeans for Genes Day. This will not just be a wonderful line-up of country music's finest, but a night of celebration and fun - all in support of raising funds for healthy children tomorrow.

Golden Guitar sweethearts Beccy Cole and The McClymonts as well as Adam Harvey, winner of 2007 CMA (USA) Global Country Artist Award, are all spokespeople for Jamm 4 Genes. Jeans for Genes Day helps to fund The Children's Medical Research Institute in its quest to discover the genetic makeup of diseases like epilepsy, muscular dystrophy and cancer.

They will be joined by James Blundell, Karl Broadie, Jonah's Road, Stacey Morris, Jake Nickolai, Drew McAlister, Nicki Gillis and Nik Phillips. Telstra Road to Tamworth winners for 2006 and 2007, Nick Kingswell and Morgan Evans respectively, will also be joining the cast. Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee and true Aussie music legend, Frank Ifield will co-host the event alongside Jim Haynes, wordsmith and comedian. Meanwhile Ten's fabulous weather man, Tim Bailey , will there to start the night. Rumour has it, that 94 year-old Smoky Dawson might make a guest appearance - whew what a line up! What a party!

When approached to be the venue for the event, Denis McNamara, the entertainment manager from Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL had no hesitation, and in fact they are now sponsoring the event - people with big hearts like Denis help to raise the $4 million in funds required each year to keep the research going.

If you're a lover of country music, or even if you're not, there's plenty of cross-over happening on this night of nights. Get there early and have dinner in the bistro as the music starts early at 7:00pm.
