Country Music Night featuring Gayle O'Neil will run at Victor Supper Club, formerly St Ives Hotel, tonight.
O'Neil borrowed her first guitar aged eight before she got her own six years later.
After those early family concerts, O'Neil performed at charity dinners, church functions and weddings around her Central Coast home.
In 1995 she fell in love with her now husband, David, and wrote her first song Bein' With You, which she recorded in January 2005.
O'Neil's debut EP, Freedom, comprised five original tracks.
Her first radio single was Welcome to the Neighbourhood, which received good airplay, while the second, Every Little Memory, gained her a nomination and finalist spot in the Victorian and National Country Music Awards 2010 - Hawking Bro's Best New Talent.
OTHER ENTERTAINMENT NEWS:
In 2014 O'Neil took out the Silver Saddle Talent Quest at the Sydney Country Music Festival and opened main stage for the 2015 festival, where she launched her debut album Rough Road.
She was also named 2RRR and AAAMUSICLINX Best Independent Female Artist in Tamworth 2017.
O'Neil will supported by Vanessa Delaine and homegrown entertainers Zac and Eliza Spalding.
Delaine is blessed with a voice that leaves audiences breathless; her soothing vocals contrast with the howling blues riffs of guitarist Michael Barnard.
Audiences move from upbeat and toe-tapping songs like Feels So Good to sultry, moody Moon Blues with its Chicago grit slide guitar and unforgettable lyrics.
She has performed at Yackandandah Folk Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, The Basin Music Festival and Port Stephens Blue Water Country Music Festival.
