Children’s songs are helping get singer Amber Lawrence through self-isolation.
The award-winning country musician has taken to Sunday afternoon concerts via Facebook to provide relief to her followers and their families.
“The challenge, as all parents know, is keeping a child entertained,” Lawrence told The Saturday Telegraph.
“Having a son, I know how hard it is to entertain a child for 12 hours inside a house.
“While I’ve got loads of adult music, I’ve been concentrating on my kids stuff because I think that is what anyone in the same boat as me would appreciate to distract the kids for half an hour.”
Lawrence and husband Martin Newman are parents to 18-month-old Ike.
The four-time Golden Guitar-winner’s Kids Gone Country album was released in 2016 and she has 17 new songs for Kids Gone Country 2.
With 3pm Sundays set aside for her kids shows, Lawrence also goes online intermittently during the week to perform for her followers. “Sometimes it is to have a chat or sing some songs,” she said.
As someone who usually spends much of the year on the road, being housebound in her Coogee apartment has been a strange experience but one she is embracing, and enjoying having more time in the kitchen and playing with Ike.
