The lessons the Newcastle country queen learnt from Chambers when she opened his shows were invaluable. Life-changing.

"I probably wouldn't have had a foot in the door if it wasn't for those people mentoring me and giving me those opportunities," Britt says from Alice Springs.

"So they really make a difference for a young artist to have someone who already has bit of a foot in the door or an established audience. It makes all the difference and totally made my career."

That's why Britt jumped at the chance to be involved in the Woman Enough Tour as a special guest, when asked by her close friends and fellow country artists Melody Moko and Natalie Henry.

The trio will perform together at the Stag and Hunter Hotel (July 24), Marrickville (July 25) and Wollombi (July 26).

Greta-based Golden Guitar winner Lyn Bowtell will join Moko and Henry as a special guest at the Kiama (July 27) and Caves Beach (July 28) shows.

"It's good to work with other chicks in the industry because it's good to encourage young women to get in and get their music out there," Britt says.

"It's always that little bit harder - though it's getting easier - there's still always that challenge you're faced with. So it's good that we all band together with chick power to encourage each other."

Moko and Henry first performed the Woman Enough show, which promotes female empowerment, at the last Tamworth Country Music Festival alongside Gretta Ziller and Megan Cooper.

"It sold out and went so well, so we thought, 'Oh my god, people love this'," Henry says.

Moko and Henry then decided to extend the idea to a full tour and invite along young women to open their shows.

An online competition is running to earn a chance to open the Woman Enough shows. Henry and Bowtell will also host the first of several songwriting workshops in the lead up to the opening night.

"In the future we're hoping to provide a scholarship for a young woman each year to provide her with what she needs to get out on the road or get her music happening," Henry says.

"We want more women to be involved in the industry, whether it be singing or with sound or producing."

Henry also plans to offer ongoing mentoring to young female artists in other aspects of the music business like marketing and booking gigs.

"I just tell them to look for the right places to be," she says. "Sometimes, I find with young girls they'll go and book all these shows in older pub-style situations and the kind of listener you'll get isn't the right listener."

Being a strong female role model to their children is also important to Britt, Henry and Moko.

Henry boasts three daughters Gia, Luca, and Eddie, Moko has a son Miller and Britt is expecting her second child in August, following the birth of her son Hank on Christmas Eve 2017.

"There's so many of us at the moment in the country industry, in particular, that are popping out babies and still trying to make records and make a living," Britt says.

"This is what we do. This is our job. Unfortunately we don't have that paid leave and all the wonderful things that come with having a real job, so we need to work through it all.

"I'm working right up until this bub is due. So it's a constant challenge to support my family, but also to do what I love and continue to do that.

"It's getting harder, but I love that my son, and my next boy as well, will grow up seeing their mum do something that she loves, is passionate about and works hard."

Catherine Britt, Melody Moko and Natalie Henry perform at the Stag and Hunter Hotel on July 24.
