Dear Country Music Fan/Patron, The Country Music Association of Australia, with the assistance of the Federal Government, the NSW Government and Tamworth Regional Council, is undertaking a major research project to measure the economic value and cultural significance of country music in Australia.
Most importantly, it will update information from our 2019 study and will document the extent of the sector's post-pandemic recovery.
The information you provide in your responses to this survey will help the CMAA and industry practitioners and supporters, to continue to lobby to preserve and promote the livelihood and viability of country music artists and businesses and help ensure the continued investment that creates thousands of jobs annually. It will also help us all to create a better experience for country music fans.
It will give us all a powerful story to tell about the music we love.
If you choose to answer the survey anonymously, please feel free to do so..
CONFIDENTIALITY BUT if you do choose to provide your email contact you will enter the prize draw to win a $500 Coles giftcard OR a VIP double pass to the 2026 Golden Guitar Awards (tranferrable if you cannot use it).
I personally GUARANTEE that the information you provide WILL NOT be used for any purpose other than to help create the final report which will be released to the public mid-2025.
You WILL NOT be identified individually in that report, NOR will any individual information - including contact details, be communicated by me to ANY third party, including the CMAA, without your express permission.
Should you have any queries, feel free to contact me – dobenewton@gmail.com
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey.
