2010 Music Tour of America's Deep South

When Craig Giles was engaged by John Howie and Travelrite International to be the Celebrity Host for the 2010 MUSIC TOUR OF AMERICA'S DEEP SOUTH , no one realised just how successful it would be.

The 2010 tour group comprised of 52 music loving people from all over Australia all anxious to experience the variety of Entertainment, Cuisine and Sights that this tour offered.

After landing in Los Angeles, it was onto a luxurious coach and off to see Hollywood and surrounding districts. The next day, further south to New Orleans for some world class Jazz and Cajun Food.

Whilst in New Orleans Craig was delighted with the opportunity to sing a couple of numbers with local Jazz identity, Hack Bartholomew . Then on to Baton Rouge and Breaux Bridge districts for an informative tour of the Laura Plantation and an enjoyable swamp excursion.

Then came Tupelo, Mississippi where Craig had the honour of performing his “Tribute to Elvis Presley.” This was a very special night and during the performance Craig said “I have done this Tribute many times and in many places but I am overwhelmed at being able to pay homage to “The King” in his own home town of Tupelo, Mississippi and I’m extremely proud to be sharing this moment with
so many of my Aussie mates.”

Craig presented another unforgettable performance in Memphis where he was invited to sing with the full Negro Choir at the Legendary Reverend Al Green’s Tabernacle Church. Craig enthralled the congregation with his moving rendition of “Peace In The Valley” and then changed the pace to an uptempo version of “Let Us Pray” which had the audience, choir and pastor literally dancing and singing in the isles. It was a very uplifting experience for everyone.

Apart from Craig’s main shows, he also treated the group to impromptu performances throughout the entertainment packed tour. Craig’s duo partner, Kinta, was also on the tour and accompanied Craig on stage on several occasions including a few songs at a Memphis Honky Tonk and a River Cruise in Savannah much to the delight of their rowdy Aussie mates and appreciative locals. The group were thrilled when they met up with Australia’s own Hamish and Lachlan Davidson “The Davison Brothers” after the International Bluegrass Music Awards Show at Nashville.
