Australian jazz and pop artist Kate Ceberano has been wowing crowds with her charismatic voice for more than 30 years.

The Pash singer has had a longstanding career which includes 19 solo studio albums and her 1989 platinum selling release, _Brave _.

Now 49, Ceberano will join Daryl Braithwaite, Jon Stevens and John Paul Young for the fourth edition of the national Apia Good Times tour starting on June 12 in Canberra.

The four Australian music icons will play 17 shows across the country, which include a trip to the South West to perform at the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre on May 22.

Ceberano said she was looking forward to the tour after joining Brian Cadd, Joe Camilleri and Glenn Shorrock for last year's run of shows.

"It's the perfect way to go out on tour because you are playing all of your hits," Ceberano said.

"It's not like anyone is expecting any new material, but they want to hear the songs they love."

Braithwaite has previously played at the Apia Good Times tour, while Stevens and Young will be headlining the event for the first time.

Ceberano admitted it would be difficult to fit all of her crowd favourites into one set, but said she would undoubtedly keep the crowd entertained.

"It's the kind of problem you long for, it's a great problem to have," she said.

"It feels amazing (to have people singing along).

"There is nothing finer for a person who has been raised on original music and live music to be surrounded by people performing their own work."

Apia together with the South Western Times is offering an exclusive chance to win one of four double passes for the show at BREC. Check the newspaper for the entry form.
