" First time traveller to CMA Fest Nashville 2019, I love to travel and I love my country music and this team of fantastic people and Aussie artists make that dream a reality.
If you love music then Soundmart is the tour company for you, Nath, Mel and Kate make your dreams come true, and if your go to CMA you will get to travel with Troy Kemp and Damo for the Viper Creek Band who entertain you along the way.
If it’s a concert in Sydney, the CMC or Muster In Qld or a music festival in the USA Soundmart is your ticket there. You guys rock, see you in 2020! "

Tania Hamilton 

"Well where do I start with Soundmart Tours!!!
What an incredible experience I had with them travelling to Nashville for the CMA Festival!!
I can not recommend them highly enough... I’m so grateful to have come across them on Instagram!!

Nath, Mel and Kate you all went over and beyond for everyone on the tour. The background work that went into the tour really showed and attention to detail was impeccable and you always kept us well informed before and during the tour. The places we got to experience Blue Bird Cafe, RCA Studio B and being able to record a song as a group, Graceland and Memphis just to name a few. Our tour hosts Troy, Damien and their partners Aleesha and Lorie it was a pleasure meeting you all and thank you also for making it a memorable tour. The friendships and memories made on this tour I will cherish forever and look forward to catching up with everyone again in the near future! You will not be disappointed if you book with Soundmart Tours and as Nathan said we are all apart of the Soundmart Tour Family now!"
