Emerging country music sensation Josie drops her latest single, Life on the Flip Side. This heartfelt mid-tempo serves as a follow-up to her popular song Freight Man, and it dives deeper into her life on the road, capturing the unique and resilient lifestyle of rural Australia.
Inspired by Josie’s often used catchphrase, “catch ya on the flip side”, the song narrates her experiences growing up in the cab of her dad’s Western Star road train. “It’s telling the story of my life on the road from a different angle to Freight Man, touching on the fact it wasn’t exactly something kids in the school yard thought was cool right away”, admits the singer-songwriter. “Having been into many different stations and remote places across the travels in the truck, it truly opened my eyes to their lifestyle, the work that went into living that life, and how tough it really can be out there.”
The Life on the Flip Side music video was filmed at the Reid River Export Depot just outside of Townsville. “I was so stoked we could film in a location that felt so real and authentic,” comments Josie. “Seeing the work being carried out through the day… just felt so special and full circle to be standing there all done up filming a music video for my own song about living that life”.
?In 2024, Josie graced the stages of several major festivals – including Country Fest, Winton Way Out West Fest, and the sold-out Lasso CMF – while soon to impress at upcoming festivals, Bowen’s Bottoms on the Grass in August and Gatton’s Lights on the Hill in October.
