Jasmine Rae has been announced as the local opening act for the Perth and Brisbane legs of Brooks & Dunn's 2009 Australian tour.

Rae will join Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn and special US guest act Dierks Bentley at the Burswood Dome on May 1 and Brisbane Entertainment Centre on May 9. Tickets go on sale November 17.

'I'm totally thrilled Brooks & Dunn and Dierks Bentley have agreed to close my shows in Perth and Brisbane! They're two great little acts and I'm sure you'll be hearing lots more about them in the future,' Jasmine commented after hearing the fantastic news.

The announcement has added yet another chapter to what has been an amazing year for Jasmine Rae, since winning the 2008 Telstra Road To Tamworth competition last January.

She's gone on to record her debut album Look It Up with US based producers Richard Landis and Mark Moffatt, which debuted at #5 on the ARIA Country Album Sales charts.

Her debut single ‘Country Singer' was a top #5 radio single and CMC number #1 And her second single ‘Look It Up' has spent the last six weeks at #1 on The Music Network's National County Music Chart.
