WHEN country trio the McClymont sisters hit town on July 30 to celebrate “10 years of Hits”, they’ll be playing to a crowd of devoted fans.

Winners at this year’s Awards in Tamworth of two Golden Guitars for Best Group and Highest Selling Album, the sisters have performed many times in Canberra where, trio member Sam McClymont tells “CityNews”, they always find “a wonderful crowd, so supportive of us”.

Sam is talking from Sydney where she’s lived since leaving their home town, Grafton, after completing school in 2003.

“It was time to move to the big smoke,” she says, conceding that these days it doesn’t matter where you live when you’re in showbiz – “you can hop in the car or on a plane to anywhere”.

The spectacular success of the three sisters sounds like the subject for a good, meaty country song.

Sam, for instance, married pilot Ben Poxon after meeting him while performing in Iraq during 2006 and, artistically, the result was a song we’ll be hearing, “Forever Begins Tonight”, written for her wedding as “a personal expression”.

The arrival of daughter Tiggy for Brooke and husband, country singer Adam Eckersley, was well-documented in the album “Here’s To You & I”. Then Mollie met and married Aaron Blackburn via Tinder and they have a new baby to consider while on tour.

“Life does change and you’re not writing about the same thing all the time,” says Sam.

The McClymonts had a flourishing international career for a time and put down three of their four records in Nashville, but since Brooke and Mollie had babies and Sam got married “it’s been much easier to stay in Australia than take those big flights”.

But travelling around Australia can be demanding and during their 10 years they’ve been to every state and territory, with only central parts of Queensland, the NT and SA remaining to be explored.

Sam’s schedule is packed. A TV presenter on the lifestyle program “Getaway” and, more recently, the reality television program “The Farmer Wants a Wife”, she “somehow magically” fits these in between tours.

ACT, NSW, Victoria and Queensland audiences can expect a 10-year journey through the McClymonts’ music.

“We chat to the audience, that’s what country music is all about,” she says. “People want to get close to us and love to interact.”
