RUSSELL Crowe will dust off his cowboy boots and take to the stage at the 34th Country Music Awards in Tamworth later this month.

Alongside Australian music stars Paul Kelly, John Williamson and Troy Cassar-Daley, Crowe will present a main gong at country music's night of nights.

The Academy Award winning actor and musician will take a break from touring with his band to present the award and entertain the crowd with a song from his new album My Hand, My Heart.

Crowe has asked country singer and Golden Guitar nominee Felicity Urquhart to join him on stage to sing backing vocals with his band, The Ordinary Fear of God.

"I'm rapt," 28-year-old Urquhart said when she heard the news.

Urquhart is no stranger to playing with Crowe, having jammed with him at his property and performed at one of his Christmas parties.

"He's a top fella," she said.

"I'm not sure who will get a bigger kick out of it, the audience or me."

One-time Australian Idol contestant Shannon Noll will take time out from rehearsals for his Shine tour to also present an award.

Iconic musician Smoky Dawson and previous award winner Melinda Schneider will also present.

Meanwhile, the Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA) has just finalised a deal with the Southern Cross Ten Television Network and its affiliates to broadcast the awards for the next three years.

While the 34th CMAA Country Music Awards are being held on Saturday 28 January, the broadcast on the Southern Cross Ten signal will be on Saturday February 4.

I didn't know there was an Aussie ping list

There seems to be a list for everything else under the sun, why not an Aussie ping list?!

Barney & SpongeBob are banned from my home. As is Boohbah. Love Tiny Planets though. Bing & Bong are so cute. And the song is not to horrible!
